Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings

Definition of original: Not derived from something else; fresh and unusual (from TheFreeDictionary.Com)

In your journals, write on the top of the page “I Am an original because:”….

Then write a list of all the wonderful unique qualities that make up YOU.

Ready?

Let’s see, I would like to try this tonight as well..

I Am an original because…

1. Who sings silly love songs to her cats the way I do? ; )

2. I have a way with language and write with a voice that is all my own.

3. I whip up things in the kitchen that are truly my own creations (no recipes, thank you very much)

4. I excel at games such as Jeopardy and Scrabble yet I have a mechanical disability and I find it difficult to put together the simplest of things.. (they had me in mind when they invented the dumb blond screw in the light bulb jokes. Ha! lol)

5. Nobody has my smile or

6. My way with children

I will stop here for I feel fantastic, tall, confident, and happy about the unique qualities that make up ME.

Your turn, sweet friends..

a blessed night to you all!
