Jamie is a complex individual. She is serious, but she has a sense of humor. Jamie is assertive, but also a little insecure. She has these amazing moments of tenderness, but will remind you she is someone not to mess with! Jamie remembers everything, she is also not one to forget. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind. And she is always doing the unexpected.
One of the things, well one of the many, I appreciate about Jamie is her decisiveness. Jamie is a person who knows what she likes. I personally, like to surround myself with assertive, bold, and unapologetic female figures. Jamie is all of those. So as a person who is never sure if they are making the right decision and not very assertive, you could see why I admire her so much.
I thought I would write up an easy 5 ways to be cool like Jamie.
1.) Find your passion!
Jamie, as we all know, loves boots, construction, walking on Young’s Hill, and flipping through her books!
2.) Never apologize.
Jamie isn’t afraid to tell someone they have stepped out of line. Don’t be afraid to share how you are feeling, but maybe out of for respect social norms, use words instead of projectiles ;). Also never apologize for being yourself, Jamie wouldn’t.
3.) Face you fears.
Jamie is always finding ways to push herself!
4.) Don’t forget to do your cardio.
Jamie is probably the toughest fitness instructor I have ever had. No excuses in her gym! If you want to be Jamie’s friend, you got to keep up!
5.) Always do what people won’t expect.
Jamie loves to surprise us. If you feel like wearing a scarf, do it! If you feel like randomly flipping upside down like a bat, do it! If you feel like putting your head in a box, why not! Or in today’s case if you just feel like being silly and laying on some firehose while your caregiver jumps up at you, she says do it!
Here is Jamie laying on some firehose!
She would lay on it and then have me jump as high as I could to reach her.
Jamie doesn’t let anything hold her back in life and you shouldn’t either.
