Keeping It Real: 5 Random Amber Facts

I thought I’d try something new on the blog today! I participated in #FridayIntroductions over on Instagram today and it got me to thinking that the bloggity would be a great place to share fun & random things about myself too. For goodness sakes if I want everyone else to share their lives with me then I should share back!! So I’m starting a new blog category called “Keeping It Real”. Here goes nothing…..5 things that make Amber, Amber.

1) I laugh way too loud and my smile is HUGE. I think it’s too big…I mean who wants to see my molars? (Perhaps my dentist? Hi Dr. Misto!!)

2) I have a slight obsession with anything orange or gold. Perhaps “slight” is an understatement?!

3) I may very well end up being a crazy cat lady. Archibald the Cat and Agamemnon the Cat are my over indulged and over photographed fur babies. I love kitties so much!!! My daughter is graduating from high school this year and well…who knows how many new kitties it will take to replace her. (she’s going to be leaving a very very big empty place…probably equal to at least 10 kitties).

4) I crave authenticity & connection over anything else. Just be real with me! Like real, real. I am over surface relationships, “friendships” for the sake of having more, and I refuse to pretend to be anything I”m not. I’m not always the popular girl on the block because of this…I can make good use of the “f” work, will discuss controversial subjects, and sarcasm is my middle name. (Side note…I’m totally good with not being the popular girl. I’d much rather be the real girl. The girl that you always know how you stand with her. The girl you can come to and discuss ANYTHING and never fear judgment.)

5) I don’t make New Year’s resolutions but this year I did take on the mantra “Be Present”/”Live In The Moment”. I work every day to be present in my life. Be present in every moment. Find the beauty and let myself feel it. Stay connected. Feel everything and don’t dodge the hard stuff. Enjoy the fleeting moments. Soak up the love. Laugh way too loud. Cry big ugly tears. Say I love you…even if you’re the first one…even if you feel like it makes you look like a fool. Speak my truth. Live!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you have a wonderful summer weekend.
