31. Be where your feet are.
32. Write thank you notes. Buy the blanks and fill them up with your own words, don't let Hallmark speak for you. I haven't always been great with this, but I'm really trying.
33. Count blessings. Name gifts. Gratitude is the only way back to your true self.
34. If it's not a HELL YES, then it's a no. So that medium yes, that I-feel-like-should yes, that guilty yes, that coerced yes, that I-actually-hate-this-thing yes, that I-guess-so yes, that who-else-will-do-it yes, that careless yes, that default yes, that resentful yes, that I-probably-shouldn't-but-struggle-with-boundaries yes? NO. Nope. {Jen Hatmaker}

You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single second of every day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and the colors fill your mind until there is nothing left to do but explode, There are no wrong answers . Inspiration is everything. Sit back, relax, and take it all in. {Jan Vanek}
