You are such a strong woman. You have been through a lot but came through it with style and grace. I'm glad to hear you inspire yourself because you should! You are a big inspiration. :)

Hehe, I love this! Brought back so many memories. :) I could add Clarissa from Clarissa Explains It All because I always wanted a friend who used a ladder to come up to my room. ;)

Also? Dominique Moceanu made me want to be a gymnast SO BADLY. I bought books on it and told everyone I was going t...

You are so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing, inspirational people. I know all about the jealousy monster but I love how you can put it aside for the most part to support & be excited for their accomplishments. And I just know you'll figure it all out soon. :)

I love the honesty in this video! Honestly, I only have one dream job and it feels so out of reach that I don't even attempt it. So I don't know if that's better or worse. ;)

Your videos make me crack up. I think I've already mentioned it, but it bears repeating. Hehe.

That's something I've found out, too, is how similar we really are and we have a lot of the same goals. You didn't make your 3-minute mark but that's OK. I love your face. :)

OMG. If you teach a Harry Potter high school class, would it be totally weird if I sat in? Yes? I still would do that. That sounds AWESOME.

Hehe, I'm starting a 9-5 on Wednesday and I am SO excited about those hours. Of course, for the past 2.5 years I've been working 6:30-1 so I'm just happy to get some extra hours of sleep. :)

I love this. Best. Ever.

I love that idea, omg. It's kinda genius. I was an education major for 2 years before I was put in an internship and realized I didn't have what it takes. Aced all the classes, did NOT do well in the internships. Then I did a marketing internship a few years later and LOVED everything about it. I...

I definitely think everyone needs to have their beliefs "poked" at and questioned. It's the only way to truly know what you believe!

I can totally, totally see you as a professional writer. Your blog is proof of that.

It's a sickness, really. But not a sickness I'm willing to give up just yet. ;)

A candy shop, a cookie shop, a cupcake shop... they all sound divine! I will work for you. Thanks. :)

Being with my almost 3-year-old stubborn-as-all-get-out nephew almost cures me of any baby notions I have. ;) But I do think it's a job I'd love to have some day. Just... not for a very long time. It's a very worthwhile thing and the best job in the world, as I'm told. I think you'd be such a ter...

I really, really love this goal of yours. Counseling is something I've really wanted to do for a while (the client aspect) but don't really have the funds to do so. I think you would be so good at it, too - very easy to talk to!

Hehe. Happy anniversary! Love the vlog. A very good goal. :)

I totally forgot about #winetoreach until this announcement. Ha. Wow. But nice suit, man!

It's been over 4 years and I'm still trying to figure it out. It has to all connect soon, right? Geez.

"Sucky on the inside"? No way! You're awesome. :) We need to meet up, two socially awkward shy people. I wonder what we would talk about. Hehehe. I shut down in social situations, too. And then blame others for not talking to ME when I know I'm giving off "DANGER DANGER" vibes. We are so alike.

Yay for pants and a bra! Impressive. :) Your vlogs never fail to make me laugh.

I have to add up simple numbers on my phone's calculator now. It's really, really bad.

If it means anything, my mom can never use my Blackberry now that she has a touchscreen phone because she's always touching the screen to make it work. ;)

Technology shy is not a bad thing, but I am very happy you have joined the smart phone revolution!

I think I do have that unhealthy/healthy thing going on, too. I'm almost never disconnected, even while asleep. I'll still wake up at least once to check my phone & see what e-mails I've gotten, hehe. It's a sickness, really!

As a sidenote, thanks to VEDA, I now know stratejoy is pronounced str...

I think I will always find ways to procrastinate so technology just gives me another avenue for that. :) But I will admit that sometimes I'll forget to check my phone if I'm at home and on my computer and will go hours before seeing texts or phone calls. Whoops?

VEDA does not take weekends off! ...

Thank you so much for sharing this. I know it couldn't have been easy. Hugs.

I have to agree with everyone. Dorky > trendy. I was never and will never be trendy. I've embraced it! :)

I think it's interesting how it's more of the stigma of living with your parents that causes insecurities. I know I've felt that way a lot and I'm only 23! But I see other people my age moving out and living with their significant others/friends and it makes me feel like I should move out as well...

And to think the influence Justin Bieber is having right now. Oh, goodness gracious.

You know, I've never really thought about it but I think I have that same "Am I just being tolerated?" insecurity as well. It can drive you nuts if you think about it too long! But I don't think you have to worry about this, girl. :)
