Life? What is it? It is one hard journey. You live, you learn, you screw up, you learn. I don't know if anyone will actually see and really look at my little old school blog but I enjoy sharing. My mind squirrels at times so I love to just post random stuff that I like. I hope that something I post touches you or helps you in some way. We are in this road called "Life" together :-) Let's help one another and practice some kindness along the way! #justagirlwithadogandablog

Get Up Girl- It Does Not Hurt Anymore- Get Out There And Show Them What You Are Made Of Inspirational and Motivational Quote
Beautiful girl, when you are finished falling, after you hit rock bottom and watch yourself come apart into a million pieces, no one is staying to help you collect yourself, no one is sticking around to pick through your pieces to decide which parts of you are worth keeping.
Turn the page. The next part is much longer. It’s the healing. The rise. The comeback. It’s the birth of the new you. And it’s not easy. But you are strong and brave and worth it. You’ll have to leave a lot of yourself behind, you’ll have to let go of all the parts of you that you’ve outgrown.
We’re not making ourselves small anymore. We’re not bending to fit where we don’t belong anymore. Do you hear me? We’re going all in. Count your wounds, every scar ripped open, every drop of blood you bled like a promise, every tear you cried like a bet in the name of crossing your whole heart, your whole soul, was all for this moment. Right here. Right now.
You had to hurt like that to get here to this version of you who knows exactly who she is, who she’s not, who she will never be again. Drop the apologies, babe. We’re not sorry anymore for who we are, we’re not sorry for what we had to do to get here, and we’re not sorry for the time it took to learn our worth.
Step out of the box of all you were supposed to be, according to everyone who wasn’t you, and walk into the you, who’s comfortable in her own skin. It’s time. You earned it.
We no longer wear the expectations of anyone else and we no longer let anyone else decide what we’re worth. Because we know now. We finally know. And now it’s time to celebrate it.
Get up, babe. It does not hurt anymore. Now go show YOU what you’re made of

A Note To The Woman Who Has Lost Her Spark Inspirational Quote Share
TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...
To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go, has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself more quickly for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you, feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that… they are not your people. Your people will be glad to see that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend, this is the time to start saying yes to things that bring you joy and no to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.

Just Because I Don't Cry Doesn't Mean That It Doesn't Hurt- I Actually Feel Things Very Deeply- I Just Don't Always Show It On The Outside Deep Thinker Quote
When people look at me, they see what I want them to see.
I will always seem happy go lucky without a care in the world, but that’s not who I am at all.
I fight back all the feelings that the world would never approve of, because my happiness is more important to me.
I keep my walls high to keep others out and to see who cares enough to see past them..
The ones who actually put forth the effort to get to know me for my true self.
I’d rather have a handful of close friends than countless acquaintances.
My eyes say so much that most will never hear, and I’m okay with that-
I’m not for everyone and rightfully so.
I don’t wear my emotions on my sleeve, because I’ve done that and ended up with a broken heart.
I’m done sharing myself with the world and hoping they understand me, because most never will.
Those intimate parts of my heart and soul that mean most to me..those are the depths that I share only with my loved ones-
They’ve earned my trust and loyalty through who they are.
So, when you look at me and assume I don’t feel anything because of my steely facade, think again.
I’m one of the most passionate and emotional people most will ever meet..but I choose to share that part of myself with a select few because that side of me is precious and fragile.
Just because I don’t cry doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.
Just because I don’t say anything doesn’t mean I don’t feel deeply..
And just because I don’t always share my feelings doesn’t mean I don’t care.
I’m real, I’m authentic and most importantly, I’m passionately loyal.
It’s up to you if you have the patience and desire to look past my eyes and see my truths..
You’ll find that I’m one of the most extraordinary people you’ve ever met..
It’s all up to you if I’m worth the effort to you..
I know I’m worth everything..
And so much more.

Don't Challenge A Woman Who Has Been Through Hell and Kept On Going Strong Woman Inspirational Quote
If you thought you knew who she was when you met her, think again.
She might look like other women, but on the inside, she’s so very different that it would shock you.
She’ll smile, be courteous and always be warm as she engages you, but make no mistake, if you push her just a little too far,
You will see a side of her that you’ll never forget..
And you might just regret.
She didn’t want to struggle, fight and scrap just to survive her days..but that’s the road she’s travelled.
Broken and bruised, she wanted to give up so many times.
When you suffer long enough, eventually your soul grows weary..
And that’s where she was for so long- tired and lost.
She didn’t know how to pick herself back up and couldn’t find the light for the darkness that surrounded her.
But it wasn’t those moments of struggle that defined her- just the opposite.
No, she dug herself out of the hole and clawed her way back out of the abyss..
That’s what defined her- her incessant drive to keep going, growing and eventually, thrive.
She faced the fires of her tragedies and decided she was more.
More than capable, more than the things that brought her down and most of all, more than the fire that had threatened to tear her apart.
Her courage was forged in the flames of those defining moments..
She wasn’t brave because she wanted to be but because she had to be.
Sometimes, you don’t choose what you become..it chooses you.
She’s not a survivor or a victim, she’s a warrior with an iron will and a passionate spirit.
So, when you cross paths with this amazing woman, don’t assume you know her or what she’s been through..
Appreciate who she is and where she has been.
You may never understand her, but you don’t have to.
She is who she is, unapologetically and without regret.
She celebrates her flaws and her scars tell her story ..and it’s an amazing tale of beautiful survival and immeasurable courage.
She is more than the fire that once consumed her and her wings are meant for more than to simply fly.
Wonderful creatures like her can’t be contained, defined or tamed..
We can only hope to enjoy them, just the way they are.
For she was never truly broken..
Just a breathtaking soulful mosaic of the battles she won along the way.
She would always be what others never understood..
Strong, beautiful and brave.

I Could've Have Grown Cold But Instead- I Found My Courage And Become Stronger Inspirational Quote
Through each failure, every disappointment and through all the heartaches, I still found a way to keep my head up and my heart open.
There were so many times when I wanted to shut down, build high walls and disappear behind them..
But I knew that would never make me happy.
I stopped blaming everyone else for what went wrong and started trying to learn from the setbacks..
And it’s a hard thing to do to understand why some things don’t work out and why some things do.
I used to spend so much time staring at the closed doors that I wanted so badly to walk through that I didn’t see the new doors opening right beside them.
But when I finally started embracing change and trying to understand my journey better…
That’s when everything started to change.
Maybe I didn’t always immediately get why things happened or the lessons that I was meant to learn, but with patience and grace, k began to make peace with the bad stuff.
I didn’t let it make me bitter or resentful anymore, because the only person that hurt was me..
And I was done with being hurt.
I knew that if I wanted to be happy- truly happy, I would have to grow stronger, wiser and happier with each passing day…
No matter how hard that was.
Do I still have bad days that make me want to curl up in bed and cry?
Of course I do.
Do I still get my feelings hurt by people that I love?
Absolutely.
But now, I don’t take everything personally and I try to learn from the experiences that life gives me.
I know now that life will never be perfect and that there will still be storms and gross people, but I’ve learned to take it all in stride.
Enjoy the victories when I can, no matter how small..
I could have grown cold and angry from all the things and people that hurt me,
But I’m better than that.
I dug deep, found out who I was and grew courageous instead-
Brave enough to face my shortcomings, strong enough to endure the hard days and determined enough to never quit.
I still make mistakes and things still go wrong, but now, I never let it bring me down.
After all, it’s me versus me, and no matter what, I’m coming out ahead every time.
I may be many things, but most of all, I’ll always be happy, proud and resilient…
Like the strong person I was always meant to become.
