Spring Sing-Along

Free to Be!

I love you all, friends, just the way you are! (And now I'm singing!)

You are the expert at being you!

Sometimes the hardest thing to let go of is worrying about what others think about you.

I say, "To heck with them!"

In the words of Cat Stevens . . .

If you want to sing out, sing out . . . .

Have a day filled with peace, love and rock n' roll my friends!!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Don't Let ANYONE

I learned a looooong time ago that haters are gonna hate.

If 100 people tell you you're a great roller-skater and the 101st person tells you that you're a terrible roller-skater, chances are, you're going to listen to the voice of that ONE person over the voice of the 100.

Right? Of course I'm right, 'cause I do it myself!!

So, now I've got this little picture to remind me to listen to the loving crowd, not the hating minority.

Sending you lots of peace, love and rock n' roll today!!

Love Means . . .

I love everybody. Honestly.

But, I don't always love their behavior.

That's the tricky part of love. Loving the person, loving their human-ness but not loving some of things they do.

I've found in my life that sometimes I have to remove myself from a person or a situation they've created.

I do it with love. Saying, "I love you but I cannot tolerate this behavior so I have to stay away from you right now."

It's as easy -and as difficult- as that.

But, sometimes in order to LOVE YOURSELF it is necessary.

Be well, friends!

A Hero Is . . .

We all have challenges, we all have obstacles. The choice is YOURS. Are
you going to RISE above your challenges or, are you going to use them to
prevent you from reaching your full potential! Love you, Aunt Dottie.

What the World Needs . . .

And, since the world needs love, I hope YOU are doing your PART each

and every day to add some LOVE to the WORLD! It is our job as human

beings to add love and kindness wherever we go!

Love, Aunt Dottie

All You Need . . .

It's a BEATLES kind of week! Their songs have been on my mind! What

songs get stuck in YOUR head? Do tell!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Drive my Car

'Cause Leonard would NEVER let me drive something so very nice! I am

practicing. Driving is NOT one of my super-powers but I'm getting a little

bit better every day. I only hit ONE mailbox today.

Love, Aunt Dottie

My Super Power

What is YOUR super-power? Are you working your super-power every day?

Are you LIVING your super-power in every way? I hope so! I hope so!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Happy Halloween!

I wish you a very PINK and Happy Halloween today! Stay safe! Enjoy your-
selves! Eat lots of candy! Send any Junior Mints MY way! Love, Aunt Dottie.

Love is in the Air

Do YOU see it? It is just EVERYWHERE, though if you read the news-

paper some days, it doesn't FEEL like it. But, believe me, it is THERE, you

just have to look a little harder for it some days . . . Don't despair my friends,

trust me, the love IS there! All around!

Love, Aunt Dotte

My Glass is Half Full

What can I say? I enjoy my clear liquid!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Truth

I'm sure I have other friends out there to which this applies!  Love, Aunt Dottie

Bring Snacks

If you're NOT prepared with snacks (or anything else the journey requires)

you'll end up hungry and grumpy and unable to see all the wonder around

you. So make sure you have what you need to ENJOY the journey!

Love, Aunt Dottie

You are Unique

I will NEVER, ever ever ever ever STOP telling you this, my friends, for I

believe it in my soul and I know some of you need some REMINDING from

time to time on just how awesomely awesome you ARE! Shine on!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Opportunity

What are you WAITING for? Go out and knock on those doors, my friend!

If you want something, work for it, prepare for it and knock on a door or

two . . . however MANY it takes!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Make Your Own Kind of Music

To me, this means: BE YOURSELF! Live your best life. Live YOUR spe-

cialness EVERY day! Even if nobody else sings along!

Love, Aunt Dottie

Pink Flamingo

Any yard without a pink flamingo looks NAKED to me, naked I tell you

I got MINE at McLendon Hardware in Renton. Just about the best place

in the world to buy a pink flamingo. Or two. Hundred.

Love, Aunt Dottie
