Totally Rad

 
The 80's.  Like totally cool.  Remember when the hair was big, the oversized neon sweatshirt hanging off one shoulder, over a pair of stirrup pants with leg warmers.  And let us not forget acid washed jeans, shoulder pads, MTV,  boom boxes, Atari, self made tapes for your Walkman.  Playing music like, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Journey, Def Leopard, The Boss.  Watching movies, Top Gun, ET, The Goonies, and my 2 favorites....Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club!  AHHHH, I've been walking down memory lane this past week.  Wishing the calendar read 1987.  The summer I was a graduate entering the "real" world.  Ohhhh, looking back at that young big eyed girl.  Full of lots of dreams but no direction.  The road was ahead but I had no idea which way to go.  (at that age who really does???)
       I've come up with 3 things I would tell my young self at that time....
            1.  Go for IT!  BUT have a PLAN! What ever you dream write it down and make a plan.  Then GET BUSY & DO IT!
            2.  SAVE $$$$$$!  You do not need those shoes or that sweater.  Put them back and get yourself to the bank!
            3. LOVE & LAUGH!  Do not worry about what others may think or say.  LOVE who you are.  You are worthy.  You are enough.  Now GO and LOVE all of LIFE.  LAUGH a lot!  Do not be so serious.  Giggle often.  Belly Laugh lots.  Surround yourself with what and who makes you happy and brings you joy.
               footnote.....You'll be fine- just chill.  You're not a dweeb-you're really gnarly & rad.
                                 And life has been WICKED TUBULAR!
