She...
{by Kobi Yamada}

She must be something special. She is.
Celebrate her.

She loved life and it loved her back.
Celebrate her passion.
She listened to her heart above all other voices.
Celebrate her wisdom.
She pursued big dreams instead of small realities.
Celebrate her priorities.
She saw every ending as a new beginning.
Celebrate her resiliency.
She discovered her real measurements had nothing to do with numbers or statistics.
Celebrate her self-esteem.
She was kind, loving and patient…with herself.
Celebrate her tenderness.
She woke up one day and threw away all her excuses.
Celebrate her accountability.
She realized that she was missing a great deal by being sensible.
Celebrate her spirit.
She turned her can’ts into cans, and her dreams into plans.
Celebrate her goals.
She ignored people who said it couldn’t be done.
Celebrate her independence.
She had a way of turning obstacles into opportunities.
Celebrate her magic.
She went out on a limb, had it break off behind her, and discovered she could fly.
Celebrate her faith.
She discovered she was the one she’d been waiting for.
Celebrate her self-reliance.
She added so much beauty to being human.
Celebrate her presence.
She walked in when everyone else walked out.
Celebrate her friendship.
She just has this way of brightening the day.
Celebrate her radiance.
She made the whole world feel like home.
Celebrate her warmth.
She decided to enjoy more and endure less.
Celebrate her choices.
She decided to start living the life she’d imagined.
Celebrate her freedom.
She colored her thoughts with only the brightest hues.
Celebrate her optimism.
She was an artist and her life was her canvas.
Celebrate her brilliance.
She ran ahead where there were no paths.
Celebrate her bravery.
She held her head high and looked the world straight in the eye.
Celebrate her strength.
She not only saw a light at the end of the tunnel she became that light for others.
Celebrate her compassion.
She designed a life she loved.
Celebrate her joy.
She took the leap and built her wings on the way down.
Celebrate her daring.
She said bye-bye to unhealthy relationships.
Celebrate her happiness.
She remained true to herself.
Celebrate her authenticity.

She made the world a better place. 
Celebrate her.

Have you ever had THAT THING that you have seen and you wished someone would give to you??  That sounds weird - but I've seen this book in little boutiques and have thought of many women in my life that I wanted to give it to.  And this is the ONE THING that I've specifically wanted to receive.  I didn't believe these things about myself for the longest time... so why would someone get it for me - but now I smile thinking - I AM HER.  I am thankful to celebrate my life - and to be celebrated.  My mind set has changed.  EVERYONE should be celebratedAnd celebrated WELL! 





Thank you Lynds for thinking of me with this book.  It is precious and couldn't have come at a better time.  Your friendship is precious to me!  I always look forward to our coffee dates, the showers and parties!  I've always wished we lived closer... maybe someday I'll be a "Woodbury Girl".  You know... I saw a Woodbury in AU... we could all just move there...  {I'm just sayin'}

I remember the first time I met you at Lynn's party - I wanted to get to know you.  You "already had a lia sophia girl..." but decided to give me a chance to be yours... so glad you did!  It was the event that introduced us and I'm so glad we've stayed and grown as friends.  You invited me in and threw the sweetest parties - but most of all I was welcomed in as one of the girls.  Do you remember the party at Courtney's house... we both were thinking the same thing - we wanted to be "REAL FRIENDS" not just lia sophia friends.  SO GLAD WE ARE!!  I swear you have more jewelry than I do... and you probably spent less money on it by hosting all of the parties over the years that you have!!

I'm so excited to watch your family grow!  To get to see Audrey and hear the things that Lilly is getting involved in.  She definitely takes after her mama.  




She puts everything in to what she does.  She is Creative and Smart.  Beautiful and full of life!  She has a compassion for people and animals.  She's always wanting to help and give!  She LOVES making things for people - food and presents.  You've done an awesome job with her!  You and Geoff are so sweet and such a great couple.  Your friendship and love is visible in everything.  Your family just fits!  

Thank you for giving. You amaze me in how much you give!  You put your whole heart everything you do ... go BIG or go HOME.  Through your creativity and time you SHOW how much you care!  

Love you Lynds!!
thank you for today. 
{and for liking all of my posts...}
it's fun to know you read them :)
