Just keep swimming.

Sometimes you need a friendly reminder from yourself to just keep pushing forward. Whether it's a quick jotted note with a splash of color (i.e. photo above) or a mental note- it needs to be said (err.. or written) We get so caught up sometimes and feel like we are drowning, when in all reality we can change our sails and go in whichever direction we choose. So dig deep and find that determination you have stashed away or forgotten about, and do what you want to do. Make it happen. Happy friday! I'm off for the next two days (whaaaaat) so I'll be making my own things happen. What's your plans for this weekend?

Change.

Change can be scary. Going from your every day norm and schedule - to something totally different and new. It's pretty intimidating. I am going to be starting a new job Monday (eeee!), and even though I am totally over the moon excited; I'm really nervous/scared/intimidated/worried. What if I can't do it, what if it's not my thing, what if they don't like me? What if, what if, what if. Forget them. Forget the what if's. So often we bog ourselves down with negative thoughts and comments, so much so that we totally forget that WE ROCK! We forget all of our positive attributes, how we owned that interview, how happy we were when we found/interviewed/got this job (or whatever you are pertaining this to), how hard you worked, and that this is where you are meant to be. Things happen for a reason and where you are and what you are doing is where you are meant to be. There is a plan for you and this is it.; and if you are not happy with it C H A N G E- you will eventually be where you are supposed to be. God/fate/whatever you believe in believes in you and knows you can do it, so why shouldn't you? You are wonderful, you are strong, you are great, you are you, and people love you for it. Love yourself and believe in yourself because you can do it! So, stop the what if's and negativity and go for it. Take a deep breath, take one step at a time, and dive right in. GO. DREAM. LIVE. BE. xo.

365 Project: FAIL.

Okay so, sometimes we fail and we just have to admit it. So here I am: I FAILED. But that's okay, because we do fail, the key is to get up and prevail. So prevail I will. Obviously I cannot keep up with posting everyday (see last post date was like a week ago or more) so I am just going to skip the 365 this year and maybe try for next. I'm still going to try to post A Daily Dose of Inspiration, but just not daily because of insert excuse: life. Work, school, moving into a new place, planning a wedding; you know.. the usual. Thanks for understanding because well, you have no other choice ;]

Changing it up- 365: A daily dose of inspiration

SO,

I decided that 365: Things that make me happy was just not going to happen a little too ambitious. I have class T/W/TH and work all day, so it just wasn't feasible to take my camera and get pictures of things (and a lot of what makes me happy recently due to my crazy schedule is sleep). I have a lot of doodle time in my day and that's what sparked my new idea. I LOVE typography. Fonts/handwriting/doodles you name it- iloveit. I am constantly writing quotes, words, sayings, etc. and doodling all around them, just for fun. So, I decided I am going to do 365: A dose of daily inspiration I am going to hand write and doodle quotes/words/madeup/etc. inspiration. I am kind of excited about this and I think I will really enjoy it. I am going to keep up with the Things that make me happy bit, but it will only be every so often. I am also still going to keep my number count, which makes today: day 10 ( I totally skipped 9, but who likes 9 anyway ;] )
