The list of beliefs? Here it is in column form.
I woke up in the middle of the night last night worried about this one for some reason. Really. AS IF ANYBODY CARES. But I worried about sounding facile and precious and full of myself. Ugh. But it's too late now. Column's already up and at 'em.
I will say this. It was a fun column to write. And I'd love to hear a few of your core beliefs, too.

Now, I'm going to have to revise mine, but I really like the one on having low expectations (Isn't that Buddah?).
Here's a few more: I believe you can't have enough bright red coats.
I believe that what first world people think of as happiness is way overrated.
I believe (deeply) that beauty is more important than truth or goodness.
I believe I could live with an outhouse but not without hot water.
I believe that everybody needs an Ann and a Louise in their life.
Oh, I completely loved your list. Entirely. To add to yours and Louise's:
apparently, I believe that you can't have enough bright red lipstick!
and I believe that finding what you want to do and doing it is a sacred thing. you know, excluding harm to others.
I believe in living--really living--your own life, with all its complications and obligations and joys, little, medium-sized, and big.
I believe that flip-flops should be worn exclusively in summer.
I believe that bedtime should be aggressively enforced.
I believe that sleeping outside is good for the soul.
I believe that a good book is grossly underrated.
I believe that road trips are freeing.
I believe in writing.
I believe in good friends, who brought me chocolate cake and lemon raspberry cupcakes today.
I believe that there aren't a lot of easy answers to the big struggles.
I believe that life is hard, and funny, and sweet. In that order.
I loved your column so much!!! It was perfect
