Thanks for sharing you flaws and all, last week! 😉 This week’s quote was suggested to us by our friend MultitaskMomma. Thank you! Do you have a quote by a woman you’d like to share? Oh Reba… you’re a genius! I love this quote, because it makes complete an utter sense to me, as I’m sure it does to you, right? Can someone use this quote in their commencement speech? If I were speaking at my high school graduation, I think I would use it. Considering I grew up in Texas, if I referenced Reba McEntire, the crowd would probably go crazy. 🙂 My nephew and niece are both graduating next month (in Texas too), I think I shall write this in their cards. A wishbone: to make all the wishes you want. Wishes do come true, you just have to work toward them. They are yours to have- take ’em! A backbone: because you cannot achieve your dreams {wish} without a little hard work. Sometimes getting to where you want to be means you have to do a job you did not wish to do, but all good things do come with time and hard work. Put a smile on your face and the days do not seem as long. Also, that backbone will anchor you when people try to tear you down. Don’t let them bring you down. Remember who you are, where you came from, and the fan club you have at home. That backbone will carry you to where you want to be, use it. A funny bone: I know you have this one! A funny bone is needed in life, because life isn’t perfect. Life will take you on all sorts of magical and not-so-magical twists and turns, laugh it off. I truly believe laughter is the best medicine. Enjoy your summer! Love, Tia Dean 🙂 And because you know I’m a sucker for a good YouTube clip…. you’re welcome!

May 19, 2015 at 10:01 amThis is a great quote! I am so glad Multitasking Momma suggested it to us 🙂 And it is PERFECT for graduation, as it is a great reminder of what is important in life. Your dreams, your confidence, and your ability to laugh. I also seriously love that song from The Breakfast club. It makes me want to watch both the Breakfast Club and Pitch Perfect. XO
MrsA0K2001
May 20, 2015 at 11:06 amYes, I’m glad Multitasking Momma share this brilliant quote with us.
I need to pull out my Breakfast Club DVD! My mom watched Pitch Perfect (1) on TV a couple weekends ago and text(ed) me, “You have to watch this funny movie.” I died! My mom. That woman cracks me up.

I hate to admit it… but I was a Carlos Estevez gal. Then he went all rogue.

May 20, 2015 at 2:59 pmYes, a great quote! Would be perfect for commencement. Note to self, if I’m ever asked to give a speech, use this quote. And good point about the backbone grounding you to good people.

May 21, 2015 at 10:29 amI’m glad to hear you will use this quote in your future speech 🙂

May 21, 2015 at 12:01 amYup, you and Reba said it perfectly. So when will you two team up to give a commencement speech? If I ever own a school, you are so hired.
MrsA0K2001
May 21, 2015 at 10:35 amHA HA! Thanks! I think Reba and I will start a commencement tour next Spring. 🙂

May 23, 2015 at 3:31 pmHaha, yes Texas loves Reba McEntire. One of the first songs of hers that I heard (when I lived in Texas) was “Fancy.” Still like that song.
That’s a great quote – and perfect message for a grad; I like Reba, she seems like good people.
MrsA0K2001
May 26, 2015 at 6:08 pmI agree, Reba does seem like good people. A few months ago people got all upset because she supported the song “Girl Crush”, which had nothing to do with being homosexual, you know how some people like to open their minds…
And if it did have something to do with being homosexual SO WHAT!
I hope you had a nice weekend!
XOXO
