Just A Reminder...

I needed a little midweek inspiration and I really loved this. I think it's a great reminder that today, August 22, 2012, is the only August 22, 2012 we will get for the rest of our lives. So my goal is to make today a good one despite whatever may have happened yesterday or the day before that! Love it. Hope this inspires you, too!

A New Favorite...

I thought I would start this new month off with a few gorgeous images. I found them on my new favorite tumblr, Maisons Blanches. I about died when I found it. All of the images are so incredibly beautiful and are of mostly white decor, food and fashion - my faves. Bookmarking the site is highly recommended. :)

Wise Words...

************************

A little diversion from the usual topics today to bring you some wise words... These are all easier said than done, but thought provoking for those who might be fretting about the past, afraid of taking that next big step or feeling a bit down. If that's you, I hope these make you feel a little better...

Great Advice

Hi friends... I wasn't feeling so great last night, so I didn't get around to editing my photos and copy for the recipe I planned to share today. Hopefully I can post it later this week or next. In the meantime, I thought I would share a great piece of advice that I found...

And don't let anyone try to drown you on the way out!

Sorry, I just had to add my two cents...

The Best Things In The World

I found this on Lauren Conrad's new blog (which I highly recommend you check out). This list is a great way of making one realize that it's the little things in life that are perhaps the best. I really love singing in the car. It's the only moment that I'm convinced that just maybe I can sing. I really can't sing... After I finish this post, I am going to get up and start preparing for a girls night in. There will be lots of sangria, Mexican food, carrot cake cupcakes, and laughter. The little things... Can't wait. 

Happy weekend.

Just Some Thoughts...

Hi there! Well, I thought I wasn't going to be back tomorrow, but I had some downtime over the weekend. My mind is clear and I am rested. I spent some of my downtime thinking about my past, my present, and certainly my future. I thought about the things I like, things I need to work on and change, and things I want to achieve. Some things are big and some things are small. Some things are serious and some are not. I found these quotes on Pinterest. They captured some of my thoughts to a "t"...

I stress myself out sometimes trying to make sure everything is perfect. Grace is way more important.

My thought here is that sometimes I need to step out of my comfort zone and not worry about what will happen if stepping out turns out to be a disaster. As long as I am being true to myself , then the rest will take care of itself.  



 I need to go to iPhone rehab! If there were such thing as one, I would consider signing up. I spend  WAY too much time on it. I don't think that is a good thing... I need to work on that. Can any of you relate?



  

Today I have my health. Today I have my family and friends. Today I have a job. Today I am happy. Today I am thankful.

I'll be back to my regular scheduled programming tomorrow, but today I wanted to get these thoughts down on "paper."  Happy Monday!
