== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies, I hope the end of your weekend treated you well. We've got some exciting stuff out there tonight. I hope you spend lots of hours pouring through the new/old press material. It's brought me and so many others a lot of joy-- I hope you feel it too!
I'm going to make it a quick one tonight because I am very very tired.
I just wanted to send out a quick reminder lovelies that nothing is static, permanent or set in stone. One of the things that OFMD taught us is that we can change our circumstances for the better. We can change, and we can grow, and we can better ourselves in the situations we deal with every day . Sometimes it's not easy, and sometimes it's not possible right away, but we can find ways to better ourselves and our lives in different ways, no matter how big or how small.
Don't give up lovelies. There's always a chance at a better tomorrow. Even if that tomorrow is a month or a year from now. I'm rooting for you, so is the rest of your crew. You got this <3
