Sadly, they haven’t created the bad-ass jeans that could make my bum look smokin’, but I love the rest!
And those pink cowboy boots are just adorable!

This year I am going to invest in red cowboy boots AND sexy jeans… but it’s quite difficult to find cowboy boots in Devon! I’m off to a big city today! I’ll let you know if I am successful!!

on my list of 101 things is a skinny-dip, i hope to accomplish that in 2008.

now is the time for me to look at my naked self in the mirror and say YES.

i made my list … http://gngbenson.blogspot.com/2008/02/writing-prompt-from-dancing-mermaid-now.html

oh how I love this! I am so enjoying visiting your space…and today, this post is speaking so clearly to me! I am going to make my own list because, well, now is the time!

Love it!
Love you!

You have been a busy little bee. I’ve spent the last hour reading your entries and catching up on all things McCabe =)

love this and think i may have to make my own list soon … smooches!

now is the time to stop hiding behind your fears of being wrong and for your voice to be heard
*

now is the time for allowing yourself to feel, even just for a moment, absolute joy (because once you know what it feels like, you’ll want to experience it over and over again)
*

now is the time to wear the glittery eyeshadow and matching tights that you so admired seeing on someone else and thought “no, that’s not for me, i’d just look silly
*

Now is the time to stop thinking and start living! xx

did it…come and visit

thanks for that {voice} of inspiration x

i love this. and am also in the market for a vintage typewriter {wink}

xoxo

Love this.

*now is the time

Hi McCabe,
This little girl is soo precious!!
I may continue with this theme on my blog as well- I’ve been thinking about the idea of affirmations and plans a lot lately.
My addition would be
now is the time to be open to the ways life unfolds as you accept your path

now is the time to embrace new friends

now is the time to dance with childish glee

now is the time for sparkles in your hair.

Now I’m getting carried away in my response…:D

This is a wonderful idea, McCabe.

now is the time to cast all worries away and live free!

now is the time to love with all you have in you even if they dont know how to receive it…. love anyway cause the time is now.

Love this and I think I will begin my list as well.
xoxo

now is the time to make sure everyone I love knows just how I feel…

I will start with a very special mermaid –

I love you
I love the magic you sprinkle with your words
I love the beauty you gift us with
I love that you can make list from your heart and mean every single word
I love that you are in our universe
I love YOU

Yippee – I tried the surfboard – fabulous! Hope you’ll take a look – http://dwmindsieve.blogspot.com OR

I love your list making – your romance tips are infectious or maybe I find it so because I agree with you

[...] Ever since, I find that I am repeatedly asking myself what do you want, Jeanine? What do YOU want? I didn’t think it would be such a hard question to answer but when you share a life with someone for 12 years… things can get blurry. So when a lovely mermaid inspired me to write a NOW post, I thought how very appropriate for this time in my life. This list is only the beginning. [...]

beautiful list, beautiful you … now is the time to do exactly what i am doing, living my life fully and it feels so incredibly wonderful xoxox

What a fabulous list. I love it. I’m going to have to ponder on my own for a bit.

now just might be the time to kiss even though his lips are chapped.
