1. The older I get, fewer things matter & more people do.
2. I'm actually quite pretty without makeup.
3. You don't get to change the past, but you can change your future thoughts and deeds.
4. You can make real, true-blue friends later in life.
5. There are no absolutes; everyone and everything is a shade of gray.
6. Time does NOT heal all wounds, but that is alright; some wounds are meant to serve as a reminder.
7. True love is absolutely magical and really can & does happen at first sight.
8. Some people are blessings, others are toxic. Often, one masquerades as the other and it takes intelligence, strength and faith to know the difference betwixt the two.
9. Wonderful men really do exist and some of them are single and childless & want to be good husbands & fathers.
10. The little things make the biggest difference.
