4 Quirky Somethings + Bonus Read

Hey, all you May lovers!

I don't know about you, but more often than not, life ends up feeling oh so random and weirdly unplanned.  Wonky and unpredictable and a whole lot of quirky.  Kinda like this month's 4 Somethings.  No rhyme, no reason, no hidden theme, no carefully crafted summary of a lovely, sunshiny month. 

But we do have sneakers and lace.  Boundaries.  A to-do list that's breathtakingly simple.  A whole lot of lemons.  And a bonus read.  

Just because we can.

'If we don't know who we are, we will constantly be manipulated into who others want us to be or become enmeshed in the needs of other people.  

When we know who we are, we are whole and available to love, serve, and give to others from that fullness. 

 If we don't know who we are, then we will love, serve, and give, hoping people will fill our empty places and make us feel whole.  

And in doing so, we will always be defined by how well or how poorly someone else makes us feel.'
