having a bad day?

Found this gem while hopping around the internets today.

It might be my new favorite thing.

Enjoy on those days when you're not feeling so hot.
Or even on those days when you are.

my daily reminder


I have been waiting for the perfect place to put this beautiful print -- made for me by the one and only ellolovey!  It found its home right next to my mirror in the bathroom for an uplifting reminder every morning.  Life is good.

instant comfort

I saw this and giggled with glee.  Then, I realized it might be exactly what I need someday.  
Or everyday.

fitting for today.


A reminder from Rhi, one of my favorite freelance illustrators 
(make sure you check out her ellolovey collection on Etsy). 

We are so afraid of risk-taking -- choosing to stick with the commonplace and known instead of free-falling into adventure.  In a lot of ways, it's easier to know what you can expect, even if it's painful, than to dive into something different and not know the outcome, not know the kind of pain that you might endure.

It seems that someone out there is set on reminding me to continue taking risks -- but those risks don't need to be big ones.  My risk today?  Choosing to trust in my own decisions instead of letting what others might think determine my own worth.  It took a total of 30 minutes (for those who aren't eternal ruminators, it would probably take a lot less time) -- and a whole lot of internal reminders.  But, for me, it was a risk, something out of the ordinary -- and, oddly, it gave me a boost of energy and a depth of confidence that calmed me.  

What risks are you taking?  What risks do you wish you could take?
