The Adventures of Lesalina

I believe that it’s a lot easier to be nice than it is to be mean. It may not be as instantly gratifying but it feels much better down the road. I believe in the power of words, bubble baths, and laughter – which yes, is the best medicine. I believe that honesty is the best policy but there’s also a right way to do things and a wrong way. I believe in manners, eating well, and using the good dishes.

I believe in the thumper rule. I believe in adopting pets. I believe in moderation and talking things out. And at times I believe in silence, it’s golden, you know. I believe in acting your age and nurturing a childlike spirit. I believe in celebrating birthdays. Big. I believe in the importance of calling your mother, she knows more than you think. I believe in the power of positive thinking – or really any thinking for that matter. I believe in creativity, physical activity, and having a good, snotty, sobbing until you can’t hardly breathe cry.

I believe in forgiveness and I believe in love. I believe that people can change but that it doesn’t happen often enough. I believe in the value of traveling the world as well as a good night at home on the couch. I believe that everyone matters to someone. I believe I can make a difference. I believe in the supernatural, the spiritual, and the practical. I believe the ocean can soothe; so can a good glass of wine. I believe in karma. I believe letting go. I believe in leaving the world a better place than I found it.
