I still have a lot of learning and living to do but here’s what I’ve really learned and embraced these past 30 years…

bitterness can eat you up.

i am always learning new things.

living in fear isn’t living at all.

God knows my road map.

more times than not you need to stop talking and listen to others too.

wisdom is not measured by a person’s age.

whenever given the chance, ride a camel… or an elephant… even an ostrich.

you need to be able to laugh at yourself.

circumstances shouldn’t dictate your joy.

it’s ok to go to counseling.

i will always choose Christ.

i am not perfect… and i don’t need to be.

i have been the prodigal son.

reading is FUNdamental.

life is an adventure. live it that way.

travel.

love boldly.

take another step

deal with your crap early on

being relational takes practice… so practice it

school is cool

accept the challenges

don’t play the blame game

the Bible is my play book

comparing sucks…don’t do it… i mean it, don’t.

find out what your “me time” looks like and take it. it’s ok… you’re not horrible for doing it

babies are wonderful… doggies too.

feedback, when done right, is healthy

look for God’s blessings everyday… they are there. always.

when you follow God’s to do list there are just enough hours in a day

With love,

Paola
