Chin Up Princess, Your Tiara is Falling


Lets face it, not everyday is going to be a good day. Sometimes, every once in a while, sometimes more often then we like, you just have a bummer day. Showing up on a Monday morning for a very important meeting (first one at that) late because of horrible traffic? Yeah, not my shining moment.

Not everyday will be a good day, sometimes.....
-Your shirt won't stay tucked in
-You will be late for a very important meeting
-You will have blisters on your feet
-You'll have food poisoning
-You'll trip in front of important people
-You will have a fear of recording your voicemail in front of everyone
-You will forget to put on deodorant
-You will open your lunch to find mushy grapes
-You will hate your outfit
-You will sneeze on your shirt
-You will wake up late and not have time to shower
-You'll drink too much water
-You won't drink enough water
-You'll eat lunch in your car
-You will get startled by someone walking up behind you
-You will forget a sweater for your office that happens to be the Polar Arctic
-You will wish you had a toothbrush
-You wonder how to tell business people that you hate coffee
-You will wonder if you blew it already

(Hey just speaking from experience here!)

But guess what? The end of the day comes and tomorrow you will get up and do it all over again. Being late one time isn't going to get you fired, just don't make a habit of it. Easier said then done huh? Yeah. If you are anything like me, you are VERY EXTREMELY hard on yourself. Being late by 5 minutes feels like the the worst thing that could happen. But sometimes you have to "pull yourself up by your boot straps". Smile, take a deep breath, apologize, text your Mom on your break, and keep on keepin' on. It WILL be okay, I pinky promise!


"Chin up Princess, your tiara is falling!"

**If you are wondering what the top picture has to do with anything, it is from when I joined in doing the high ropes course as a high school youth leader this past fall per the request of some of my favorite high school girls. What they don't know is that I am terribly afraid of heights, but I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I barely kept myself together, but I did. Sometimes things happen and we have to chin up and JUST DO IT!**

  1. So true! I hate the moments when I run into someone around a corner and it definitely startles me!
