Project Life Week Four--Finally.

This has taken way too damn long to get up. I've been working mostly on the blog and letting everything else fall to the wayside. Of course that's not my only excuse. To be perfectly honest I've been flat out lazy.

I dedicated half of week four to Talia Joy Castellano who I mentioned in an earlier post. It is all too rare that the world gets to have a person like her in it.  And so, in honor of her memory, I did three things on her bucket list. I gave flowers to strangers, got a tattoo, and covered my sister's car in sticky notes. And I'm thinking of doing a new one each week. Life is already too short. Let alone to die at just fourteen.
Her passing, and even more so her outlook while she was still alive, have reminded me to celebrate even the littlelest things in life, which is of course the intention of this whole project. It's so important not to lose sight of everything life has to offer, the people you love, and how little time each of us really has. So thank you, beautiful girl, for reminding me of these things and for renewing my inspiration for this project.

So here it is. Week four...

For Talia

A bright, brave, truly beautiful young woman was taken from our world today. What she accomplished in the small time she was here should serve as an inspiration to us all. I only wish I had known her story before it was too late to help her dreams come true while she was alive. But I will aspire to live my life with her spirit and determination. Rest peacefully sweet girl. You give me hope.
