A collection of thoughts …

1. When life hits a rough patch, laughter becomes your greatest ally.
2. If you find a pair of shoes that fits perfectly, don’t hesitate—grab them in every available color.
3. Savor every moment; they vanish in the blink of an eye.
4. Need a support system? A girls’ night with cocktails is a surefire remedy.
5. Life unfolds in fascinating ways when you embrace the unexpected.
6. Your authenticity shouldn’t be sacrificed for love.
7. Every challenge has a solution. Just put on your big girl panties and tackle it head-on.
8. Fear not the idea of PMS; perhaps it’s just your personality undergoing a makeover.
9. Show respect to your elders, because someday, sweetheart, you’ll be in their shoes!
10. When gazing into the mirror, appreciate the person staring back.
11. We’re all on a shared journey, seeking similar things, just taking different routes.
12. Forget about the ideal partner; they’re probably in San Francisco with someone else. (The perfect one doesn’t exist.)
13. Many spend their lives chasing happiness in external sources. In reality, it’s often much closer to home than you realize.
14. If it has wheels or testicles, it’s likely to cause you trouble.
15. By the time a woman comprehends her mother’s wisdom, she often has a daughter who believes the opposite.
16. Keep your chin up; the first 40 years of parenting are merely the beginning.
17. As you notice signs of aging, skip the Botox and cosmetic procedures. Each wrinkle and grey hair tells a story—one of laughter, love, and life. Wear them proudly and save your money!
18. It’s in our darkest moments that we often discover grace.
19. Never settle for the first dress you try on.
20. Nothing happens without reason. Everyone you meet and every experience you have is beshert, or “meant to be.”
21. Kindness is free and always worthwhile.
22. Only you have the power to set the limits of what is possible.
