Why do I love blogging? The friendships. The love. Please read, and watch…and LOVE HARDER.

Love harder. Life is short, love is unbending, and no one knows what could happen next. Tell someone you love them today.

Brandy’s Story-(Some of you may have read this before.)
My name is Brandy. And I have a blog.

And a plea.

I use my blog to showcase the crazy I meet everyday, share the stories of the kids I teach, and document my love for tequila, dairy products and the abdominal muscles of Ryan Reynolds.

Rarely do I talk about personal issues on my blog– as personal as the dude that I adore. But I need your help. And it involves my dude.

He’s a guy who made math comics for my class, so they would love learning about addition. He’s the guy who sends my friends gift cards when they are having hard times, who remembers every story I ever told him, who was the first person I celebrated with when I got a teaching job.

He’s the guy who sent flowers to me at school– dozens of my favourite pink roses just because he loves me. He’s a guy who has spent a year patiently explaining (and re-explaining) everything there is to know about football during the important games when silence is preferred.

He’s made me word puzzles and comics and stayed up late playing Scrabble with me (even though I beat him almost every time). He’s listened to me cry about school and family and jobs. He is everything I never knew I needed and everything I always knew I wanted.

I realize this all sounds dramatic, a Lifetime movie in the making– but this is life. Right now. And I’m throwing away any hint of ego and am humbly asking for you to pray or think kind thoughts. If you are able to pass this on, thank you.

This isn’t a call for sympathy or a plea for pity. It’s just one girl hoping you can think positive thoughts for the person she adores. If my current heartache provides you with anything, let it be the reminder that life is short, love is unbending and no one knows what could happen next.

Thank you for reading this, and if you haven’t already? Please tell someone you love them today.

I did.

Hi Dolls!!! I hope you’re all having a great week!

Recently, my life has been touched by HIV/AIDS, as I’m sure many of yours have. When I saw the amazing work H&M is doing to support youth HIV and Aids Awareness, it hit close to home and I wanted to share the campaign preview, if you haven’t seen it yet!

The campaign is so fabulously 80′s…radically 80′s, I mean. Katy Perry, Estelle, Dita Von Teese, Roisin Murphy and Cyndi Lauper have all designed special T-Shirts, of which 25% of sales will go to support the cause. Could they have picked any cooler women? Roisin Murphy is my FAVE. And Katy Perry’s bodysuit? So cute!

Which one is your fav?
The tees hit H&M’s DIVIDED department May 28.
XOXO, Liz
