Post Secrets and MY secrets!

Sunday, October 19, 2008

Ahhh, I love Saturday nights (Sunday mornings? Whatever it is at 2am...) After a lovely evening with my fiance, he goes home (sad) and I come upstairs to settle down and wrap things up before going to bed. Annnd check Post Secret. Duh!

Here's my faves from this week.....

It should NOT be this way!

I find this quite funny... seriously though, don't YOU always draw a blank on half of the local candidates?

I know the feeling... and I didn't even go AWAY! lol

True?

This is so precious. The colors, the little girl.... It's amazing how fast that beautiful innocence can be stripped away. This secret haunts me.

Annnnd...

Check this out....

Yep. My secret. Sent. Scary, right? It felt good though to put that in the mail. Odd, I know, but seriously... you should try it. I put my postcard in an envelope just because I didn't want it getting all messed up (I hate when the posted secrets have labels and postmarks in places where you can't read the words!) so I hope that's okay. Plus it's more secretive... you know, put it in an envelope, purposely leave out the return address.... very fun. And freeing.

I wonder if they'll post my secret. Part of me hopes so...

Would you know it was mine?

c*est moi!

I am 22 & currently spend my days nannying my itty bitties + going to college (working on my nursing degree, goal: pediatric oncology) & am honored to be a published writer in a nursing anthology & a contributor to many scrapbooking publications. i love hanging with my amazing friends, sister & family. i love my baby puppy haylie brooke and our silly doggie ri-ri. in my rare spare time, i read & get crafty. i thrive on organization, my mac repertoire, learning & absolute fabulosity. my favorite place in the world is paris. my favorite color is pink. i love being a nurse & i believe each one of my patients is precious. i'm a night owl & wish my lifestyle promoted such habits. i like lazy jammie days. i believe in god and am thankful for his hand on my life. i believe that life is too short to be anything but happy, & i’m thankful that a chronic liver disease + the effects of a car accident have taught me important values that most people learn far too late. i hope that the world will find hope, and my idea of a good day is one in which i made someone smile :)

The nitty gritty...

I do NOT advertise on my blog, nor do I receive any endorsements or compensation of any kind. All opinions stated here are my own and do not reflect the views of any associations or affiliations I may hold. As a nurse, all of my nursing stories are very carefully worded and painfully adapted/altered to ensure patient confidentiality is maintained. I do not use names of patients or coworkers, and I definitely will never name a healthcare facility. I'm a patient as well, so I take this very seriously. On a similar note, if you're here for medical advice, you've come to the wrong place. If you have concerns regarding a heath issue, contact your healthcare provider.

Bottom line, this is my personal blog about my personal life. I love to write, and I am a firm believer in the therapy of writing and the learning that comes from reflecting. If I'm passionate about something, I will write about it. I'm only here to celebrate the crazy miracle we call life. I am trying to do so with utmost honesty and integrity. Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns.

As for my pictures, writings, creations, and other fun things you'll find here? They're ALL original works of ME unless otherwise cited/linked. Just as I strive to cite accurately and with permission, I expect the same from you - you may link to any of my pages, but please be respectful and don't take my images/words as your own. If you'd like to share an image or questionable amount of material, please contact me for permission and cite my blog and I appropriately.

Lastly, as a mini "FAQ" yes - I do allow guest bloggers on my site, just let me know if you have something truly remarkable to share, and yes, if I am passionate about something, I am not opposed to a little guest blogging myself.

Thanks for stopping by.... let's be friends! :)
