Forgive and forget.

A very hard thing to do for some, and this bloggette is no different.  I’ll be the first one to tell you as a Virgo and a woman, once scorned it will take me light years a while to get over what you did to me… and let’s be serious, if you’re not apologetic for what you did, then don’t even bother!  Hey, just because I received the advice doesn’t mean I’m a pro at utilizing it yet.  Sheesh.  The forgiveness part is easier for me, we’re all human and we make mistakes.  Simple as that.  Once we do make amends, it's all water under the proverbial bridge. 

Live life like you were dying & have no regrets.

I don't consider this a "do as you please" with no consideration for anyone else, but a cry to remember that any day could be your last.  If your job makes you a miserable person- quit; if you have always wanted to go to China, go; if you have a passion for something- do it…  no excuses!  Be happy and spread your happiness to everyone you meet. 

Don't sweat the small stuff. 

My Mom is one of the smartest people I know and is constantly reminding me to not sweat the small stuff.  She always has a positive attitude and a smile on her face, which I think is genetic and I’m super thankful for!  The awesome gray shimmer in my hair will tell you that I am still working on mastering this lesson, but when you’re done learning you’re dead- right?  I’m slowly becoming a more mellow and bigger picture kind of person-which I’m sure my husband is thankful for!

These are just a couple awesome pieces of information I’ve gotten over the years.
