with people who say they will show up for something, or participate in something, and then, at the last minute, after all the bows have been tied, money has exchanged hands, and places have been reserved, do people call to cancel, or, even worse, just not show up and not even call???!!!
I feel that is one of the most disrespectful things to do, and it shows something of your character. I understand that things happen at the "last minute" that are pressing and require immediate attention, but those rarities are few and far between. It's those jokers who RSVP and who promise over and over that they will be there, the ones that you count for, even if you feel like maybe you shouldn't, but you want to be safe, so you do anyway, that mess it all up.
That is the only thing that gives me pause about planning events or get-togethers because people flake out on you at the "last minute", with no good excuse, or even so much as a courtesy call.
Even if you don't have that much respect for yourself, try to have some for your reputation and either call if you truly have had a situation or circumstance that prevents you from attending an engagement you have given your word to attend, OR, at the very most, keep your word and show up for the event, even if only for a few minutes, to show that you are a person of integrity.
Yes, people, it is the little things. Really, it is.

I am just now seeing this, but I am SOOOO proud of you! You have definitely accomplished some major things in your life thus far, and the great news is that you have so much more to do, so much farther to go, and I can't wait to see the totality of God's plan unfold in your life.
And thanks for my shout out boo, love you!
