I Love Authentic People

I love people that include everyone. I think feeling left out is one of the most heart breaking feelings in the world. This one really hurts me to the core. Whether it's in a family, a neighborhood, a group of friends, a team of co-workers, a group of parents...

I love people that have a strong understanding of the why behind their values...can back up their actions and voice with strong foundation for their beliefs, not just a loud opinion.

I love people that go out of their way to help others. Even if their plate is already full.

I love people that aren't afraid to let others know their flaws. Perfect people are not real, and it has to be exhausting to put up such a front.

I love people that tackle life with a confident attitude and roll with the punches. Or seek their support network when they can't...because everyone has down times. That's real. That's authentic. And that's ok.

I love people that put themselves out there without fear of judgement.

I love people that wave every time they drive by.

I love people that take the time to respond (to a text, an email, an RSVP).

I love people that are not homebodies. Sometimes I think what's wrong with this world is that we got away from the "It takes a village" philosophy. Peeps that prioritize their own little family all the time isolate themselves.

I love people that go the extra mile. When they make a commitment. When they see someone in need. When they don't think they have in them to give anymore. They rise to the occasion.

I love people that are real. People that leave the house without perfect hair or make-up or clothes. Or aren't always perfectly coordinated in everything they do. Don't get me wrong...I love a good theme. But no one is on top of it all the time.

I love people that never see themselves as better than others. Because once you put yourself up on that pedestal, you go down multiple leagues in my book.

I love people that live out what they take in at church/bible study etc. Seriously, nothing annoys me more than to see someone at bible study that snubs their nose at me later. Not cool on so many levels. Being a Christian is not playing a part-time role.

I love people that include your family as their own. Even if it's just eating chicken nuggets for dinner or PB&J'S for lunch. Just chillin'. Not a fancy premeditated themed event.

I love people that that don't over do extracurricular activities. Everyone needs some down time. Why do we frazzle ourselves and our kids by over-doing it?

I love people that are down to earth enough to say an occasional curse word.

I love real people.

Don't get me started on the posers.
