*Bragging Rights Alert* My dad is kind of awesome. Raced motorcycles (and won) in his early years. He’s currently Acura’s Top Automotive Technician in the nation. (Seriously. He’s so smart. He can find his way around anything with an engine.) Taught me that it’s okay to be a tomboy, to love the freedom in motorcycles, to respect my car, the value in good work ethic, how to always keep my good humour about me, to always have fun, and to be quick to listen and slow to speak, not the other way around. Dad, you’re inspiring. So proud of you.…
Some days I’m gung-ho about getting some hardcore writing in. And then I bump into someone at my coffeeshop *office*….and we talk. For two hours. And I remember that, despite my initial plan of being alone in my creative world, there is a far greater beauty in taking the time to be present with someone. A real person. And to enjoy every moment of that conversation. To be intentional. To be authentic….These are the values I live by. They never fail to make me a better person, a better friend. And I never regret following them.
