This is apparently the Micro Edition of this post, because I only have four awesome things to share with you today. Damn. Slow week, I s’pose.

I learned that all the effort and time you can put into working on your self-image and learning to love yourself actually does pay off in amazingly real ways.

I learned that you can find more energy to be creative than you might think.

I learned this: do not minimize your existence.

I learned that the wall you keep hitting isn’t an obstacle – it’s the key to the next part of the journey.

It’s blizzarding again here, but since last Friday’s photo was a snowpic, I offer a refreshing change of scenery instead.
