For all the single ladies ...

Because there will be times when EVERYTHING falls apart ...
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
— Marilyn Monroe
Let them talk!
“When it comes down to it. I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do. Them I’m already better than them.”
— Marilyn Monroe
Be careful with who you surround yourself.
“Dogs never bite me. Just humans.”
— Marilyn Monroe
Because sometimes it’s OK to bend the rules.
“If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have gotten anywhere.”

Because we should all be living in the moment.

All or nothing!
“Call a curse or just call me best. If you can’t handle my worst you ain’t getting my best.”
— Marilyn Monroe
Show them WHO'S boss.
“Sometimes you just have to throw on a crown and remind them who they’re dealing with.”
— Marilyn Monroe
Be yourself!
“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”
— Marilyn Monroe
Take pride in ALL you do!
“I used to say to myself, ‘What the devil have you got to be proud about, Marilyn Monroe?’ And I’d answer, ‘Everything, everything.’”
— Marilyn Monroe
