Happy Hump Day

I added this other picture of the inspirational Demi Lovato because she is such a great role model. Her message is amazing. It's great to have support from someone who has taken a stand and shared their journey. We are BEAUTIFUL.

A song for the heart.

Our Inspiration #2

Demi Lovato:

First, this girl is absolutely gorgeous! She came up a lot in response to the inspiration question. I love her. I used to listen to her song 'Gift of a Friend' every morning before school. It was part of my very inspiring "get up and go, you can make it through this day" playlist that my senior year so badly needed. She is so special. I think she came up a lot in the answers because we can relate to her. She's just like me. She's just like us. She goes through the battles that we've gone through or are going through and she turns around and shows the world how strong she is.

Her voice is so very powerful and so very beautiful. I remember hearing it from the last row of the Ford amphitheater in Tampa on September 4 2008. We were so far back and she looked so tiny and the sound was malfunctioning a little bit but we heard her and we felt her voice. I was getting goosebumps! All I could think about was how talented this girl is and look how far she's come since then.

I know how hard things get but I know that making it through it is possible. I don't know her personally but I'd like to think that whatever I'm going through, she's got my back. She's fighting for us.

I'll be starting my senior year in 4 days so I think that it's time I start my reasons to smile list. I'm going to take it to school with me everyday so I can look at it when I need a little pick up. I'll post a small portion of it here. (:

this is such a powerful song with the most adorable video. We do have the power to change. It's all possible if we believe.(:
I also want to say that if I was in danger and a disney star had to run a help me, I want that to be Kevin. He seems to run the fastest. I doubt that it will ever come down to a disney star saving me but it was just a thought. (:
