i believe in...

I saw this post on Sami's blog last night and thought I'd do my own version for the post link-up on the Living in Yellow blog. You may not agree with some of my beliefs, but I hope you'll still read.

I believe in love at first sight.

I believe in rescuing animals and not buying them from breeders.

I believe hard work pays off.

I believe in eating chocolate daily.

I believe that popcorn is best eaten with M&Ms.

I believe that my love language is acts of service.

I believe that people are genuinely good.

I believe that you can really be anything you want to be.

I believe in the life, death and miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I believe in the power of the Bible.

I believe that satin sheets are not just for trashy women.

I believe that dogs can understand English.

I believe in having a glass of wine every once in awhile.

I believe that a smile has transformative powers.

I believe that a cycle of abuse, neglect and mistreatment can be broken.

I believe that words can both harm and heal.

I believe that Hewitt is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen.

I believe that greek yogurt is disgusting.

I believe that humility can get you very far in life.

Oh, and one more thing...

I believe that having a wonderful, caring, loving, generous, thoughtful and wise mother prepares you to be a wonderful, caring, loving, generous, thoughtful and wise adult. I believe that my mom is THE BEST mom in the world. And, yes, I'm slightly biased. 

So boom.

Happy Birthday mom! I love you!!
