Pick Those Books Up And Own It

---

That T-Bird Twin…

Used two favorite phrases all the time…it was either…if you act like you own it…you own it…or it was…is a frog’s a** watertight…that second…not exactly the motto to use when raising three little girls…that first one tho…there just always seemed to be a time…where it was good advice…

Those girls of mine…like their mama…have always beat to their own drums…quirky…perky…witty…strong morals…strong convictions…not afraid to stand up for good…a difficult task even for an adult…but even harder…for youth…there was pain…heartache…loss of friends…but those ladies of mine…owned it…or at least acted like they owned it…until the heartache ceased…and they could truly…own it…

And so it is in life…own it…own who you are…take the risk of standing up for what you believe…even if you lose your place in the cool club…pick those books up…someone ruthlessly knocked to the floor…and gain respect…from yourself…from others…from those nerdy bookworms watching from the corner…because you never know…what the future…may hold…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
