fad or legit?
I was watching Dr.Oz the other day & he had an interesting segment on "Paleo". I'd heard of it before and noticed a lot of my "friends" on pintrest were re-pinning "Paleo" recipes and info. I started looking into it. If it does what everyone is saying, my body will feel amazing and my kiddo will feel better. The great question is, "is it a fad or, is it legit?" I guess we're about to be the suckers that find out. I've heard it helps with arthritis, celiac, lupus and other auto-immune issues. I've been doing some more ADHD research, and have come across several professionals that thing ADHD is a link to auto-immune & gastro issues. If this is the case, and eating Paleo works, I'm ready! We shall see & keep you posted on our findings!

17...
If you could go back and tell your 17 year old self something, what would it be?
Mine:
You're a senior. It'll be a tough year, you'll graduate in June and leave the safety of home in August. Avoid that boy. You can do better. You'll go home, you'll be sad but don't shut down or shut people out. Just because you didn't graduate Caz doesn't mean you failed. There's a reason you weren't meant to be there. Be grateful for the girls you met there but, don't feel bad if you don't stay in touch.
Your life plan will not work out but, it's okay, there are better things in store for you. Your dreams were big but, God's plan was bigger. Embrace it. That guy you think is a creeper will turn out to be your best friend and the love of your life. It'll take a while but, you'll marry him someday.
You'll get pregnant. You will be terrified of telling Mom & Dad. Just breathe, they love you and, they know. You'll do the right thing even when you're being told not to. You're brave. You're loved. That baby will be the best thing that ever happened to you. He will save your life and he will be perfect. He will be so very loved. He will make life better.
You'll have a daughter someday. She will march to the beat of her own drum. She will try your patience. Love her! Someday, she will be just as scared & insecure. Tell her she's beautiful, every day. Make sure she knows it. Set her standards for her prince charming and set them high.
You'll have women in your life that will be your sanity when you have none and that will be there through the worst of things. You'll be surprised who they end up being. Count yourself blessed. Because, you are.
