Hi there! I am about to take you on a journey of my life. You won't be able to take your eyes away from the computer. My life truly is limitless. Some kids don't realize how much they have and how much they have to be thankful for. And they think things like: "What? I could never do that." Well, somebody's gotta do it, don't they? You just can't limit yourself. I don't ;)
After being PUBLISHED in a children's magazine at age 10, and invited to do it again, I feel like my life is limitless. I'm no longer afraid to reach for the sky when it comes to this sort of thing. I know that I will never fall, if I persevere, and even if I do get tempted to give up, I have my awesome family and friends there to keep me going. I really do have the most awesome friends and family in the world, and after losing a very close friend of mine I had my other friends and family to talk to. The lesson of that story was that not everybody will like you forever, or even like you at all. It's not your fault, that's just life.
I also learned that you can't stay down about something forever and let it ruin your life. You just have to try and forget about it, and for me, my crazy friends made it a lot easier then it probably ever would have been. When life gives you lemons, you just have to make lemonade. The point is, if I can get past losing one of my very best friends, AND I can get published, AND get an offer from the editor to submit again, my life is limitless. It's all because I have an amazing family, amazing friends, and most importantly, God's word. In the long run, those are the only things that truly matter. The possibilities in life are endless. Welcome to Lizzie's Limitless Life.
My darling daughter, your life IS truly limitless. When we were discussing names for your blog and this one hit me, I knew it was "you". Okay, and I like it because of the alliteration, you know your mama. But your possibilities in life really are limitless, unless you decide to limit them. It's up to you, and you have a great attitude and outlook. I'm so very proud of you, my girl. You rock, L :)
