Motivational Monday #24

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It took me a little while but here I am, finishing off my Motivational Monday series. What a series it has been! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have had great weekends and if you live in the UK, woohooo for it being a Bank Holiday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsH6cuJCm5JBLTVE8vrHpMGgp4c1_y0fLRYIQMZOyUDba4OaqCmIkmELWJqDHuZm7sK_50uC85qMbPOjfOwXHRsB8-MVHdDTWHC7wNS-qWj-nVph6RqZaGmqOAS-U85xLWb94LrtT6mWk/s1600/Life+Motivation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational Monday" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJsH6cuJCm5JBLTVE8vrHpMGgp4c1_y0fLRYIQMZOyUDba4OaqCmIkmELWJqDHuZm7sK_50uC85qMbPOjfOwXHRsB8-MVHdDTWHC7wNS-qWj-nVph6RqZaGmqOAS-U85xLWb94LrtT6mWk/s640/Life+Motivation.jpg" title="Motivational Monday" width="470" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Do feel free to pin this image. </span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a quote my Dad has said to be several times this Summer. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You may have seen THIS post where I talked about my trip to LA and all that it brought to me but I think what strikes me the most from that experience is that I took a leap of faith and left my comfort zone. It was scary and more than a few tears were shed before I did it but the point is, I did do it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">By moving away from what I feel at ease with, I put myself in a position to try new things, meet new people and grow as a person. I'm so glad I allowed myself to go on that adventure and didn't hold myself back like I have done in the past.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel like from now on, I will try not to let my comfort zone hold me back so much. I am a home bird at heart but I need to learn to fly off a bit sometimes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you are like me and relish the comfort zone, step out of it. Even if it's just for a day, step out of it and see what happens. It's exhilarating and liberating and in all honesty, quite addictive!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope this post inspires you to make a little exciting change, if you do, please tell me about it in the comments so I can be thrilled with you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">To find new ways to stalk me or learn about my disclosure policy, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/want-more-glitter.html" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Ultimate Advertiser - <a href="https://stickygram.com/?pid=761" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Stickygram</a><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a> Click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a> for more info. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">How do months go so quickly? Father Time has some serious answering to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As I'm sure you will have seen, I'm really excited to have jumped back into blogging after my well needed break and as always, I'm excited to share the lovely ladies (and occasionally men) who star in the side bar. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZ5f9MPUbztE0AlE8fWlKQx_U2iFY8tIghfuSJ0yqw-EerCcV2rnuxlA7QnVIkwPCDCguglzVzDcdv7MMpZEAg8UXmzfFXR70PhgzEGUZCq-Se20Bl3FAYYhyX_-2_Gdq9WRM5lLqQ-l_/s1600/lacam1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZ5f9MPUbztE0AlE8fWlKQx_U2iFY8tIghfuSJ0yqw-EerCcV2rnuxlA7QnVIkwPCDCguglzVzDcdv7MMpZEAg8UXmzfFXR70PhgzEGUZCq-Se20Bl3FAYYhyX_-2_Gdq9WRM5lLqQ-l_/s640/lacam1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh August. </span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://stickygram.com/?pid=761" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stickygram</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stickygram excites me. They are a super cool company that take your instagram photographs and turn them into magnets that you can adorn your home with. As a huge fan of the insta app, I am always looking for new ways to display my creations and I think these are a great option. I know quite a few people who have raved about this site so I'm really keen to see what it has to offer. Keep your eyes peeled for more of Stickygram on my blog, we are working on something special for you all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://helloiammariam.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hello I Am Mariam</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mariam's blog is an exciting mix of creative writing, beauty reviews, mini hauls and life experience. I was really interested to read about Mariam's experiences as a ChildLine Volunteer and how the whole process worked. If you are interested in making a difference, her's is a frank and open insight into it all. I was also so impressed by Mariam's creative writing. I was literally hooked after the first two lines and felt very invested in the story. This is a blog I want to read every single post ever on. Goodbye weekend!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://stacie-lifeisworththefight.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Life Is Worth The Fight</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stacie is a long term advertiser with Sprinkle of Glitter and every time I check in on her blog I am left inspired and humbled. Stacie suffers with Pulmonary Hypertension and is waiting patiently on the donor list for new, shiny organs. Stacie writes candidly of her fears and hopes but also demonstrates that with a positive and open attitude she can go about her life and experience so much without her illness holding her back. Go and have a read, you won't regret it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.charlotteswebblog.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte's Web</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Charlotte and her Web (see what I did there?) have been on my reading list for many moons now. Her blog is the perfect Saturday morning read with a mix of fun and 'oh I want to do that too'. She is honest in her descriptions (yep, being tipsy does make it easier to ignore pickled cucumbers) and her photographs are real, not overly tinkered with to the point where you feel embarrassed of your own efforts (we all know those blogs). In short, you will just love Charlotte's slice of the net. It's just what a blog should be. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sophiejanethorne.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sophie Jane</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sophie Jane is relatively new to the blogging world, having started in April but you can very clearly see how much she is enjoying it. With posts predominantly about food and beauty (a couple of my very favourite things in life!) Sophie Jane offers an array of meal inspiration and tips on how to be the hostess with the mostess. If you are looking for something to jazz up your next night in with friends, this might be the blog for you. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That's all for today Sprinklerinos. Anyone there that tickles your pickle?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you would like to advertise with Sprinkle of Glitter, head on over to the Sponsor tab at the top of the page (just under my header) to see all the details and price range. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">To find new ways to stalk me or learn about my disclosure policy, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/want-more-glitter.html" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Ultimate Advertiser - <a href="https://stickygram.com/?pid=761" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Stickygram</a><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a> Click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a> for more info. </span></div>

Friday Fess-Up

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm writing this post with no plan or notes or agenda. I'm just writing. Matt is watching a french DVD on his laptop, the baby is in bed and the fairy lights are lit. Perfect blogging conditions. It's like the olden days. Blogging for the sake of sharing thoughts and letting my brain spill out in a mess of things I like, things I don't, ideas, images, the lot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNJeDy2rNY47f0yk17mUjxBER8i0pAArjM99Qp6IBCLyCX0CCRfQBzDnmQGcrBjnHq-521lHYirbr-7hosWep4Lu_S2u4ahvCSe7fTWhJXBBtnqoAv4LhBubGR999GNfkATqFyksnqYR1/s1600/SpecS1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNJeDy2rNY47f0yk17mUjxBER8i0pAArjM99Qp6IBCLyCX0CCRfQBzDnmQGcrBjnHq-521lHYirbr-7hosWep4Lu_S2u4ahvCSe7fTWhJXBBtnqoAv4LhBubGR999GNfkATqFyksnqYR1/s640/SpecS1.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Excited to be home in blogland!</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you are an avid reader, you might have noticed my absence. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I haven't provided something for you to read each day but I'm not sorry that I took a break. I feel refreshed. I feel ready. I feel like I have a new and happy direction to walk in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The problem I have (and prepare for this post to get rambly) is that I am a sponge that reads too much. I read beauty blogs, lifestyle blogs, DIY blogs, interior blogs, money saving blogs, haul blogs, funny blogs, mummy blogs, A LOT OF BLOGS. I see things I like and think, 'Oh yes, I could do something along those lines' and so I do. I get addicted to a blog or writer and read EVERYTHING they have ever written and wish I could be a bit like them. I felt like I was loosing myself in a see of brilliant blogs and that I could firmly grasp an identity for this place. It was a good problem to have- I wanted to do TOO MANY things. I once was a craft blog, and then a beauty blog, and then an everything blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">From now on, this is a Louise Blog. That's the category. Louise. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am giving myself permission to write about anything that brings me joy. If it is a beauty product that I have adored then I'll tell you, if I have had a good flurry of instapics then I'll share, if Baby Glitter did something precious then I'll document it. I want to document my life. I want to photograph my home and cherish the things I purchase and share my loves and dreams and hopes and thoughts. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI14duWgY1bbcet3HGRPU7hvjaG20Q6IZbcTh_rxq143R868td-huMeF1sXXREkgMK-MAHbr1N_i87esKoiYw2BQ2fJwGwghF-zbW56BXQzoLnQoqf1IpQWouAkJ-ci3TE17Bd40RdXtL9/s1600/SpecS3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI14duWgY1bbcet3HGRPU7hvjaG20Q6IZbcTh_rxq143R868td-huMeF1sXXREkgMK-MAHbr1N_i87esKoiYw2BQ2fJwGwghF-zbW56BXQzoLnQoqf1IpQWouAkJ-ci3TE17Bd40RdXtL9/s640/SpecS3.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Jersey top || ASOS</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm still going to read all those blogs because they enrich my mind. But I'm going to be healthy about it. I'm going to read them and congratulate them on being so brilliant. And then I'm going to settle down and be myself. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I almost feel embarrassed that it's taken me this many months and weeks to realise this, especially as I had so many blog friends (thank you El) tell me the same, but I guess I just had to <i>feel</i> it, rather than know it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know it now. I don't want to quit, I want to do quite the opposite. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to incorporate all my worlds on here. I want to share all the amazing YouTube things I do, all the places I go and all the glamour, as well as my home life. For the longest time I have shielded my blog from the glitz of YouTube land because I felt it would be un-humble to talk too much about it. I was afraid you would think I've changed or that I am becoming someone above her station. After quite a lot of thought it dawned on me that you would most likely just be happy for me (as I would for you) and that it would be really exciting to have you along for the ride. I'm not silly, I know these experiences (trips to America, premieres, swish hotels etc) won't last forever so I am savouring it all and would love to have you all involved. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On top of that, I am FINALLY finishing off my home, room by room. We moved in over four years ago! I had a year to arrange the major things (rewiring and kitchen fitting) and then I fell pregnant. I lost my job, was tired all the time, had a bambino, Sprinkle of Glitter took off and the house was left by the wayside. With the help of ideas from across the web (God bless pinterest), I have started styling my home into a space I am really proud of.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Being at home is my most happy place. I would choose it over ANYWHERE. I look forward to weeks where I know I don't have to leave and I yearn to be here when I'm away. Since it's so special to me, it makes sense to show a bit more of it on this blog. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oooooeeeeee I've written a lot very quickly. That all just fell out in about 30 seconds. With that off my chest, I feel pretty confident in saying that I'm back. I have a huge list of posts I want to write and new vigour to write them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stick around, things are about to get fun!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have anything particular you would like to read on this blog, now is your chance to tell me.

When SpecSavers contacted me and asked if I wanted to be involved in their new Osiris campaign, I was really interested to learn more about the range.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqdGAjlQMbv9NI36C7fQnFG8gNIHrsWk_FbtL65KRaZCnFaL1bUAKFGviKhzWVYOvuvVPVDkTU48UQZBLbqM5umLQElY-ZQ5k64-TyD7CLyEYUtg3GWPDZi3YtrKMy8fnQ0tfyfSm9tHCS/s1600/SpecSaversAGAIN3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of glitter glasses" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqdGAjlQMbv9NI36C7fQnFG8gNIHrsWk_FbtL65KRaZCnFaL1bUAKFGviKhzWVYOvuvVPVDkTU48UQZBLbqM5umLQElY-ZQ5k64-TyD7CLyEYUtg3GWPDZi3YtrKMy8fnQ0tfyfSm9tHCS/s640/SpecSaversAGAIN3.jpg" title="Sprinkle of glitter glasses" width="496" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With over 60 frames to choose from in an array of colours, patterns and sizes, there is definitely going to be something in the Osiris Collection that suits you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When selecting my pairs (I was sent lenless frames to style and play with), I opted for bold colours and larger frames to balance my face and vibrant hair out. I think the key to choosing frames is to first select a size and shape that suits you and then stick to those guidelines. Much like choosing a dress, if you know what cut flatters your figure, the task is much less daunting and you have more chance of finding the perfect fit.<br /><br />To go with my slightly cat-eyed shaped frames I opted for a 1950's style dress, a pastel (oh pastels, why are you so brilliant?) cardi and to give the whole ensemble a little bit of an edge and compliment the frames, black slingbacks and city bag. I travelled down to London in this (including the lensless glasses!) and felt very ladylike. I have also worn these frames with jeans and tomboy chic sweater tops so they are seriously versatile. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love how all the frames accentuate rather than hide my eyes (a common misconception about glasses) and allow me to still feel confident and attractive. Geek is the new chic after all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I want women (and men) to never feel like wearing glasses is a set back or something 'bad' about their appearance. My Mum used to insist on taking her glasses off before she had her photo taken! I would love glasses wearers to feel excited about the options they have available to them and the styling possibilities that they create. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/142cMRV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img alt="http://bit.ly/142cMRV " border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrPOil_70EWE9mvhw60QOkSk66pauxVcGqqbwIyZOi2hA_Mu-CaKBXIeu_U20S-RVEYMOYN_aMqSwajbiwL3CUFsXJkGqK4ULbfE_QScEF1fdp9tBoVnd7C6kKyQ_RtWm4mWnVdA9SaCDI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-08-22+at+21.01.11.png" title="" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Search </span><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">for #Osiris to vote for my look as the best! </span><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10pt;">And don’t forget, you can win the whole look including the glasses </span><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10pt;">on the Specsavers Facebook page.</span></span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span></b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10pt;">The 2013 Osiris eyewear collection by Jørgen Simonsen is only available at Specsavers and is included in their 2 for 1 offer where two complete pairs are available for £125.</span><span style="font-family: 'Verdana,BoldItalic'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">    </span></span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think?

I learnt that whilst stepping out of your comfort zone is incredibly frightening (and can lead to secret sobbing in airport toilets) it usually results in good things. I learnt that going with the flow allows adventures to happen. I learnt that having no wifi can be extremely liberating and I learnt that I am stronger than I thought I was. I also learnt that the most interesting things in the world, no matter where you go are people. No matter what they do or where they come from they all have stories to share and they are worth listening to. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">LA, you were great.
