I recently rediscovered Demi Lovato's "no makeup monday" selfies, and I know we still have a little bit o time until Monday, but for today's Sunday Sayings I would like to do a No Makeup Monday edition.
The idea is to promote natural beauty and self confidence in order to teach girls that looks aren't that important, but also that everyone is beautiful in her (or his) own way.
Can we please just take a minute to appreciate how amazing Sing Street is? I just watched it again, and I think it is the best movie ever! It is so heartfelt, funny, weird, sad, and wonderful. The music is downright amazing! The characters just capture your heart. I could watch it on repeat. I always feel so inspired by the brotherly love, and the idea of chasing your dreams and being an artist. There are so many great lines in that movie, but following that thought I have chosen this one: Isn't it so fulfilling to create? Makes me want to spend every day writing my books and coming up with new ideas. Never give up on your dreams, my friends! Use the gifts God has given you; follow the Creator's example and create!
Starting in a new positions at my job, I have to admit that I've been feeling pretty co rodent about it. It seemed simple enough. And then I hit an unexpected snag. I can across some problems that I didn't know how to solve because I've never experienced them before. And I admit that when I saw the first problem I started to panic a bit. But I reached out to my friend, and when he told me what to do I realized that it's okay if things don't always go as they should. After all, I'm human, so I'm going to make mistakes. Plus I'm still very new at this job, so no one will be expecting me to be perfect yet. If the fault is mine, they'll tell me what I've done wrong and hopefully I won't do it again. But I choose to see this as a learning experience, a small wave on an otherwise calm sea that has already passed me by. It won't stop me from enjoying life if I just let it go. This doesn't affect any of the important things in life.

We are sitting in our homes watching as the world faces more and more problems every day, while we feel helpless to do anything about it when we can't even go places and do things to support ourselves financially and emotionally. A worldwide pandemic has temporarily shut down economies and continues to claim lives dat after day. Riots and protests over issues of racism are at an all-time high. Political climates everywhere are full of turmoil and uncertainty. Fear over government control in the wake of global catastrophe is only adding to the issue. Wildfires are raging yet again, causing apocalyptical red skies. Every day we see dissension and debates online, or hear about global crises that need immediate attention. Where is the hope? Socio-political issues seem to be growing into bigger discussions than ever before. Maybe, now that we have little going on in our lives, we have suddenly discovered that we have more time t...
