8 days!!!!!!!!! Soak it up, laugh it off, scream into your pillow, hold Brad’s hand, throw an egg against the wall, gaze at your dress, and so enjoy this magical time!

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Brene Brown is my homegirl. I’m in the middle of reading her book “The Gifts of Imperfection” and it makes my heart feel so quiet and happy—like it’s sedated or something. Last night I started the book, cuddled up under my blanket with Puck under my arm and Brad  cooking Kale and Turkey Meatball soup on the stove. I have a feeling this is going to be an attitude-changing, LIFE changing experience. Check out (one of) her TED talk(s) and I guarantee you’ll love her, her research and her outlook on living wholeheartedly. Love.
