Life is for those who LIVE!!!

So this November I want to do a different kind of 30 day challenge.  Everyone loves to get mail but very few people actually receive real mail anymore.  So in November, I am going to write and send out 30 letters to people.  Most of these are things that I am thankful for.  The following list is a list of ideas of people to send a letter to: 1.  someone who changed my life 2.  someone who supported me in hard times 3.  someone who brings me joy 4.  letter to myself in the future - obviously I can't mail this 5.  letter to someone who is currently in the armed forces 6.  letter to someone who has served in the armed forces in the past 7.  letter to a secret keeper 8.  letter to someone who holds my past 9.  letter to a former teacher 10.  letter to a friend 11.  letter to a family member 12.  letter to someone who I admire 13.  letter to someone who inspires me 14.  letter to a leader 15.  letter to another new mom 16.  letter to someone who helped me through my pre

I had to write a letter of advice to a fictitious 16 year old girl giving my sage advice about the business world.  Of course I thought of Brittany immediately and even though she isn't here for me to tell her these things, this is what I WOULD have told her if she had asked.  The professor told me that it was "really lovely" and "one of the best letters from the class".  I thought I'd share because why the heck not.  Maybe one day I'll have a baby girl to tell these things to......          Dear Brittany, I am flattered that you think so highly of me that you are seeking my advice.   I have found these ideas immensely helpful to me and I hope you will find as much success with them as I have.   Being a young woman has many advantages, but I have always believed that a woman should be able to support herself no matter what life brings her way.   Because of this, I am a huge proponent of education.   In addition to getting your Bachelor’s

I've always been really intuitive to things and the older I get the more in tune to things I am.  I can read people's emotions really well and I can quickly assess whether or not people are good people or if they have ulterior motives.  I had a psychic tell me once that I can do what she does if I wanted to and while I wouldn't go that far I have actually had dreams that predicted several pregnancies before I knew they were trying, and dreams that told me the sex of several pregnancies before the parents even knew, and I even had a 2 dreams and told my best friend what her son would look like before he was born and I was spot on.  With that being said, I don't know if this is my mind trying to comfort me or if it is you Shadow.  I want to believe it is you.  Even if it is my mind, at least it is giving me some small comfort in my time of need.  The following is a list of times that I've distinctly felt you or dreamed about you since you've been gone.  It's
