Love Changes Everything

So today my roommates and I were talking about songs we HATE, and  all three of us could agree that we hate the Andrew Lloyd Weber song "Love Changes Everything" from the musical Aspects of Love. In case you don't know it here is a snippet of the lyrics to give you an idea: 
(You have to read it in a very breathy over OVER dramatic voice...and British accent)

Love,
Love changes everything:
Hands and faces,
Earth and sky,
Love,
Love changes everything:
How you live and
How you die

^^ A poetic gem ladies and gentleman.^^

Now, as corny as those lyrics are, there is some truth to that. Love does change everything. I don't mean love as in being in a relationship, but self love. When you take a step back from everything that surrounds us on a daily basis telling us what we should be or look like, and look at who you are. WOW! I'm blown away just thinking about it.

You are: 
A Student working your way through college, 
Mother working hard to be both and amazing woman and amazing mommy,
Friend in crisis,
Role Model,
Boss, 
Worker Bee,
Musician, 
Scientist, 
Thinker,
Dreamer,
Companion, 
Lover, 
Fighter,
................,
and not to mention Beautiful!
You are more precious than diamonds and gold! Don't ever forget that or belittle the things you do in life. You are making a difference. That is why you deserve to do something for you. Not because someone told you, not because society says you need to, but because you are a strong and ferocious woman who is only getting stronger by the day! 

Make exercise your "Me Time". Think of it as your "Booty Call". haha Give your self 30 minutes of loving where nothing else matters but you and your body. I try and get my "Booty Call" in before I start my day. 

Here's what you do; 
Wake up. 
Go outside and walk/run/skip, jog, dance, hula, MOVE 15 mins in one direction. 
Then turn around and come back. 
*BAM* 
Morning Booty Call. 
You will be refreshed and ready to take on what ever the world wants to throw at you. 
Plus you just jump started your metabolism for the day. 
...and should the world throw you a curve ball and a half, and you don't have time to go to the gym or do a full workout, at least you already worked your booty right outta the gate!

Give the Morning Booty Call a shot, if you hate it make it a Sunset Booty Call just get out there and do it!



Reward your body for being so amazing and beautiful by treating it to some morning loving in the form of an A. M. stroll around your neighborhood. Show it off! Kiss and tell if you will! Walk tall and confidant knowing that you are Lovely. As soon as you recognize how beautiful you are others won't be able to ignore it!


Now, get out and let your light shine bright for all to see!!!


Getting blinded by your radiance, 
Cassi
