'25' list #2

today is sunday. one of my favorite things to do on sunday is read the postsecret website.
and i save the ones i love, the ones that make me laugh, or the ones that i identify with.

so today's list of 25 is...

25 of my favorite postsecrets that i've saved through the years (in no particular order)....



isn't this so true? sometimes, just a little love works


i love the picture that goes with this one...








you'll see a couple about being open/vulnerable...this is really hard for me, so i identify with these secrets....and also, as i was reminded last night (and many other times)....to have a real, authentic relationship with others, you have to be willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable...


you all are...every single one of you.






there will also be several about love....i'm a romantic at heart, i guess...
or maybe it's that i'm a girl :)




isn't this true of some people? when you're with them, you just feel at home.








the little print at the bottom is someone who responded to this secret.
it says, "maybe you're just a part of it." that's why i love this secret.


yes. every single time.
but it doesn't necessarily have to be a door...
helping you with your coat, walking so you are safer,
pulling out chairs...it's the chivalry thing. every single time.
















nothing like a great sister and good girlfriends


this is why i do what i do...


it made me laugh :)


the important things in life...



there you have it. some of my most favorite postsecrets.
if you noticed, there were more than 25. i couldn't narrow it down :)



*edited on monday to add:
and as i'm looking back over these favorite secrets of mine, i realize that some of them are directly tied to people and events in my life -- either they reminded me of a person, i identified with the secret or had the same thing happen to me, or i feel the way the secret says about people in my life. this is probably why i like them so much.
and this is the reason i l-o-v-e postsecret so much. we're all so different, yet so very similar...and connected in so many ways. more than i think we realize.

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...

A Break to Listen

If you aren’t aware, there’s a bit of the unknown in my life right now.   Because of this place I’m in – out of necessity, really – I’ve been asking myself (and God) a lot of questions about purposes, dreams, places, and who I am. That last one seems to be cropping up a lot lately. And it is that question which has brought me here today. Last week I was talking with a friend about my recent trip to Chicago. Just to be clear, here’s how that trip happened: I’m in a Facebook group with a bunch of women from all over the country. One of them – who I had never met – posted about this conference (the Justice Conference) her organization was taking a group of women to, and there were some open spots. I emailed her, said yes, and booked a plane to Chicago…where I was picked up by another girl driving in from Michigan and then spent the weekend learning and loving and adventuring with 9 other women from different states whom I had also never met before. When I was leaving and my p...
