“Where you live shouldn’t determine if you live.”
(psst…sneak peek…)
This is going to be a great week.
Time really does go by so quickly.
In less than two months, I’ll be done University.
DONE. UNIVERSITY. How did that happen?!
Have a minute? Thank me later.

Meanwhile, on Pinterest…
I’ve been trying to mythbuster my way through this one, but ladies & gentlemen the rumours are true. Pinterest is super addictive & possibly the best thing that’s happened to the internet and my creativity.
Let’s jam together. Here?
Imagine this. I’m a rock that’s been being pushed up a hill for 21 years, and suddenly I reach the top. I imagine myself as this rock who looks back one last time at all the shit she’s been rolled through - although, the shit isn’t shit at all, it’s more like.. schools and dance lessons and plane rides - and I slowly start to roll down the other side. The people who have been pushing me and teaching me along the way about all the things we’ve passed - they’re at the top of the hill, just watchin’ me roll all by myself. And the whole way down, as I gain speed and momentum, I’m just laughing and squealing “Look! No hands!”
And they just clap their hands together and say “Well, that was easy”.
5. Take refuge in yourself. The most incredible practice I’ve found is free-writing for 30 minutes each morning. I learned this from The Artist’s Way (another great tool for tapping into your creative talents). I’ve done “morning pages” as consistently for over two years, and they have made such a big difference in my attitude about life. I grew up in a family where I was discouraged from talking too much about myself, especially when I was complaining. To me, there is no comfort that can compare to the privilege of being able to sit down for 30 minutes to write about whatever is going on inside. This writing practice has made me my own best friend. It has shown me that I have infinite amounts of strength and humor if I look for it, and that I deserve all of all of good things that happen to me once I make the decision to get out of my own way. So I just do it. I wake up and write until I feel clear. Then I close my notebook and make a bowl of oatmeal and enjoy my day.
Ah, the power of journaling.
There is so much good going on in my life right now.
I think that it’s a bit of a Universal consensus that your twenties are the up there in the best years of your life, and while I’m only a couple of years into my twenties, I couldn’t agree more. I don’t specifically know if it’s been the education I’ve received away at University that has been such a positive thing for me, or just all the other things that have happened to fall during these past four years that I’ve been here. Without sounding to sentimental or mushy… I am so dang proud of the relationships I’ve formed. I’ve found my best friends. I’ve held on to those people who are far away, but matter no less. But (and here comes the mush…), I’ve found myself. And it’s the best relationship I’ve ever been in! I love the things I’ve done, the things I’m doing, and the things I’m planning for. Every day, I just feel like waking up and going “YES! I’M ME! LIFE IS AWESOME! GO LYNNE GO!” - but that tends to sound totally narcissitc, right?
WRONG.
Dudes, love who you are! It’s way better than picking apart all those things that we don’t particularly love about ourselves. Gosh, life is amazing. And you know what? Tomorrow’s not guaranteed. So trust your gut, say what you’re thinking & do what feels right! And love it!
Shit, happy Friday guys. Let’s all hug.
