another reason to love Zooey.

Thank you, Anna, for posting this quote!  This is just another reason why I love and adore Zooey.

"Being tender and open is beautiful.  As a woman, I feel continually shhh'ed.

Too sensitive.  Too mushy.  Too wishy washy.  Blah blah.  Don't let someone

steal your tenderness.  Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish

your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.  Nothing is more powerful than

allowing yourself to truly be affected by things.  Whether it's a song, a stranger,

a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all -

look around you.  All of this is for you.  Take it and have gratitude. 

Give it and feel love."

(-Zooey Deschanel)

And thank you, Zooey, for this.
