Liv. Love. Rock.

Olivia told me in light of all the presidential election buzz that she has a slogan for herself- Liv, Love, Rock. "It's what I am all about," she informed me.

Liv

She's a third grade drama queen. Olivia is all about never ending bursts of exuberant energy, dance moves, and all things Disney Channel (young talent, a lot of sass, and a marketer's dream). She spends her days tumbling, hip hopping, cheerleading, dancing, and composing songs. She embraces a challenge and maneuvers through life soaring brilliantly to the highest mountaintops and crashing hard in the deep valleys. Liv lives.

Love

When the day is done and Olivia finally allows her body and mind to rest-- her heart swells. Each night Eric or I (and often times both of us) massage her tired and sore little hands and feet. It is there in the dark when we hear her heartbeat as she tells us how happy she is, how much she loves us and God, how much fun her friends are, how cool her coaches are, how nice her teacher is, how much she misses her grandparents and cousins and her dear friend, Amanda. And how grateful she is for her little sister, Audrey. Liv loves.

Rock

Music fuels Olivia. If Jonas Brothers are not on her CD player or Disney radio is not coming from the car stereo or Nirvana or Frank Zappa is not playing out of iTunes on the computer then she is making her own music- either crooning the latest Demi Lovato song or composing one of her own in her journal. Liv rocks.

I agree with Olivia; her slogan is perfect for her.

She gets my vote.
