I'd like to send a big thanks to Ashley for guest posting for me today. You should definitely check out her blog, Oh Wells Instead of What Ifs. She's an awesome chic.
Hello to all of Danielle’s friends and followers! I was so
honored when she asked me to do a guest post for her while she is gone on
vacation! I thought long and hard about what to write (then thought about it
some more, because I am really new at the whole guest blogging thing- please
don’t judge me to harshly) and finally decided to give you all five tips to
living awesomely. After all with a blog title like Oh Wells Instead Of What
Ifs, I must be an expert right? Right! Get ready to have some serious knowledge
dropped on you! (Who talks like that? Apparently today I do!)
1. Have fun. For me that can mean anything. Today it meant
trying to decipher what the boyfriend was saying while he spoke Spanish in a
tone similar to that of Cartmen when Jenifer Lopez lived in his hand. (“Taco
flavored kisses for my Ben”) He likes to make our phone calls interesting.
That’s why I love him.
2. When you get in a funk, find a way to give back. It’s so much
easier to recognize how awesome your life really is, when you make a difference
in someone else's.
3. Figure out your happy place and go there as often as
possible. Oh and you can totally have more than one. Mine include a certain
spot in my childhood backyard, a gorgeous waterfall in the woods, the beach,
and the shower. Yes, I love the shower that much. Well, I only like long
relaxing showers with good water pressure and a delicious smelling body wash.
I’m picky.
4. Make your own rules. You don’t have to be what anyone else
wants you to be. Even if things don’t work out, “oh wells” weigh a lot less on
your soul than “what if’s”. Be inspired. Challenge yourself. Be a little
selfish. Don’t forget about what you wanted out of life back when you couldn’t
wait to grow up.
Whew, that was actually really hard. This guest blogging
business is no joke! Need more tips? Well, I had to work really hard on these
ones, so I can’t guarantee any more, but you might find something interesting
or inspiring over at my blog Oh Wells Instead Of What Ifs. Come on
over, check it out and maybe stay a while.
