I've had so many thoughts rolling around in this head of mine all day week and so now that the world's LARGEST pile of laundry has been folded away and clean sheets are on the bed I can write them all out. It's a lot of good (I've been coming across the best stuff lately) and a healthy dose of random just because that's how we're rolling tonight. Speaking of random I literally just discovered that a cardigan I bought over a month ago is in reality a sweater!! I was hanging it up for the first time (yes since I bought it, can you tell I keep my closet soooo organized) and I was like "hey! why is the tag on the front???" and then my eyes got cartoonishly large as my mind began to process the facts that a) I just "bought" a sweater out of my own closet b) it's the most amazing sweater because it has buttons on the back c) double duty clothes rock. So yeah, expect this discovery to be featured in an outfit post soon because it's pretty much all I'm going to be wearing right through Christmas.

I actually started the year trying to have gratitude be my focus and cornerstone and so far it's worked out quite well.

Now that I'm thinking about it how fitting because m&m's have all the colors of the rainbow!!! Including brown... I almost had something going there (inserted that darling disappointed/sad/shy emoji face). I do have something brilliant for you on the topic of rainbows though. The December, or better known as "favorite things exorcism, crying, shaking, omgsoexcited," issue of Oprah came in the mail today and it was just so chock full of crazy goodness. Good Oprah issues always make me feel like my soul drank a big old mug full of sleepy time tea. On the last page (usually the best page in the whole issue) she shares something Maya Angelou once told her and it was just like a slap on the back of my head, in the best way possible:
