Making excuses takes the same amount of time as making progress
I found this new website ‘strikingtruths.com’, that is almost too good to tell everyone about. Because, selfishly, I want to keep it hidden and novel and protect it from the “Pinterest effect”. (which is where great work is often cheapened because we see so much at once, if that makes sense). Anyway, I love these […]
A Word From The Wise (aka Mom)
My mom has been saying this for as long as I can remember. Anytime I doubt myself or am negative in some way, its safe to say that mom will soon respond with none other than (one of her famous lines), “well, what you think about, you bring about.” In other words, she’s not going […]
Gratitude is Good For You
While spending time at home over the short-but-sweet thanksgiving holiday, I was able to slow down a bit and enjoy some great quality time with my family. Sometimes I forget how refreshing a little time at home can be! It was so nice to be able to take a step back from my daily routine […]
Excellence Is a Habit
Depending on which day you ask me, I might have a different “meaning” or understanding of what this little quote means…or how it applies to my life. On one hand, I could associate this quote with character. And as such, it might mean that consistency and reliability trump grandiose and/or intenseness. In other words, one […]
The More You Love Your Decisions
The More You Love Your Decisions The Less You Need Others to Love Them. I’ve been trying to write something meaningful about this quote for 20 minutes now. And I keep typing things and then frantically backspacing/deleting it because I decide I want to go in “another direction.” There are just SO many things I […]
Find Balance
I should print this out. 100 times. and hide a copy anywhere and everywhere I can think of because I constantly need reminding. For some reason, no matter how hard I try, I just can’t do it. Maybe I’ll be “good” for a week or so, but it’s just not in my DNA or something. […]
The Things We Want
Words to live by: Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have. Powerful, right? Sometimes it’s easy to get sucked into the materialistic world that surrounds us, thinking that “more” will make us happier. The truth is that it won’t. And it’s our decision whether or not we want to be […]
Type: Being Happy is Productive
Image Credit: Inspired to Share So today is the day…TEST day! I just wanted to pop in and give you a little reminder about being happy. Be back tomorrow…probably around noon! Have a fabulous Tuesday!
bring your own sunshine
As I mentioned a few days ago, things have been quite chaotic and raining in Louisiana. I am heading back to Louisiana today after escaping from Isaac to Houston. I am hoping to return to sunny skies! Hope you have a lovely Thursday with lots of sunshine!
I’d rather be honest than impressive
and quite frankly, it’s much easier that way. Pretending to be perfect or have it all together is LAME. Not only does it make you unapproachable and intimidating, but it’s exhausting! Letting people “see” your flaws and weaknesses, although scary, can also be refreshing and sometimes even cathartic. And, in my opinion, it is the only way […]
