40 Things I Love

This might get weird. Because…me.

Sometimes things come into your life at the right time. My friend, Bonnie Barton, gave me an amazing gift this week. She tagged me in something I probably would have rolled my eyes at had she not caught me in the 32 seconds of hopefulness I had last week.

I will tell you. Last week has crushed my soul. Ground it up like an avocado for guacamole in a molcajete.

Sometimes you need a minute. I’m taking a minute. I’m going to breathe in and breathe out and let the world be beautiful for a minute.

I’m going to write something I don’t care if anyone reads. This one’s for me. *high fives self.

I’m digging deep on this. I’m going to get freakishly specific. And shit’s gonna get weird.

  1. Dave Grohl’s Pelham Blue Gibson DG-335
  2. Throwing a waded up piece of paper in the trash can and making a basket
  3. A man that smells like that perfect mix of cologne and soap and manliness
  4. When Brandy Strange and I say the same thing at the same time
  5. “The Story” by Brandi Carlile.
