@taylorswift @taylornation @tree-paine

l've loved Taylor since 2006 & my

daughter has loved Taylor Swift since

before she was born. She doesn't know

life without Taylor. Taylor and her music

have been a huge part of our lives.

When Shelby was 3, Taylor followed me

on tumblr and over the past ten years

has interacted with us over 50 times.

She even reblogged a video and gave

ner the hashtag #Shelbyismygurl . Her

first concert was rep tour St. Louis and

we met Andrea. Shelby watches EVERY

ive stream and wanted to experience

TSTheErasTour . Even with being verified

& having a code, we couldn't get tickets.

I was waitlisted for IndyTSTheErasTour

We can't afford resell tickets.

She just turned 13 (Taylor's number!) and

is dressing up as TTPD Eras Tour Taylor.

She would love to wear this to Indy. Her

13th birthday wish is that Taylornation

could see how big of a fan she is & help

today I CHOOSE joy

Today I choose joy. I wake up with a smile on my face and a determination in my heart to find joy in every moment. Even when faced with challenges and obstacles, I will not let them dim my joy. I will embrace each experience, whether good or bad, as an opportunity to grow and learn. I will not let negativity or outside influences steal my joy. I am in control of my emotions and I choose to fill my day with happiness and positivity.

As I go about my day, I make a conscious effort to focus on the things that bring me joy. It could be something as simple as sipping my favorite cup of coffee or taking a walk in nature. I also make an effort to spread joy to those around me. A simple act of kindness or a genuine smile can make someone's day a little brighter.

I refuse to let past mistakes or regrets rob me of my joy. I will learn from them and move forward with a positive mindset. I will not let fear or worries consume me, for I know that joy and peace are my choices. I choose to live in the present and savor every moment, for that is where true joy resides.

As the day goes on, I encounter moments of frustration or disappointment, but I choose to see them as opportunities to find joy in unexpected places. I remind myself that life is not perfect, and it is okay to experience a range of emotions. But ultimately, I have the power to choose joy in every situation.
