hello lovelies!
you know i like to keep it light and fun around here.
in the spirit of light and motivational...
for the life of me, i could not figure out the name of it's author.
the cursive signature...
(my minds eye just could not translate it.)
until this morning...
i googled...and... i found some more of Jamie's words.
"If you feel too much, there’s still a place for you here.
If you feel too much, don’t go.
If this world is too painful, stop and rest.
It’s okay to stop and rest.
If you need a break, it’s okay to say you need a break.
This life - it’s not a contest, not a race, not a performance, not a thing that you win.
It’s okay to slow down.
You are here for more than grades, more than a job, more than a promotion, more than keeping up, more than getting by.
This life is not about status or opinion or appearance.
You don’t have to fake it.
You do not have to fake it.
Other people feel this way too.
If your heart is broken, it’s okay to say your heart is broken.
If you feel stuck, it’s okay to say you feel stuck.
If you can’t let go, it’s okay to say you can’t let go.
You are not alone in these places.
Other people feel how you feel.
You are more than just your pain. You are more than wounds, more than drugs,
more than death and silence.
There is still some time to be surprised.
There is still some time to ask for help.
There is still some time to start again.
There is still some time for love to find you.
It’s not too late.
You’re not alone.
It’s okay - whatever you need and however long it takes - it’s okay.
It’s okay.
If you feel too much, there’s still a place for you here.
If you feel too much, don’t go.
There is still some time."
- Jamie Tworkowski
Jamie's vision is to help young people.
finding Jamie...perfectly timed to meet the recent news of the day!
OH!
* < back to light hearted Lynne! > *
i also found the source of the black bucket bag here...
just a tad out of my league at the present, but definitely not out of my dreams!
i have had moments in my life when hope flies away.
that other person always returns my hope and dreams in a heartbeat!
Jamie's quote hit it out of the park for me.
and...speaking of dreams and plans...
i will be driving to Gray Lumber this morning to pay for the deck materials!
they brew the best coffee there.
ahhh...the smell of fresh cut timber and coffee in the morning!
the truck will arrive at 34th street on Friday afternoon!
the project starts on Saturday morning!
(September Sunday morning coffees and dinners on the new deck...i'm already there!)
withLove!
