I saw this poster on Kelly’s facebook page and I just immediately loved it. Some parts are a little raw but the overall feeling // message is inspiration and taking care of yourself. I love it :] As Christmas nears and my to-do list {seems to} double each day, I’ve been taking more time at night to pamper myself with pretty lotion and comfy jammies. And I’m using Aveda’s Blue Oil and it’s amazingggggg! It’s like nature’s form of icy hot. I use it every night on my neck and temples.

This poster is an inspiration to me because I think it helps remind us of some really important things // thoughts we should be thinking. My favorites are “if you don’t like your job, quit” and “stop over analyzing, life is simple.” They remind me that we have purpose and to enjoy life as the gift that it is. {High five to Jesus!}

OK — I’m going to start my morning with a quick run around the yard with Bauer. It’s only 8* outside and it’s too chilly for him to go on a real walk. Note to self: SEW his BOOTS!

Have a wonderfully inspirational day! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo.

PS. I mistyped “inspirational” a few times and each time kept thinking, “if I type enough letters it will just auto-correct like my phone does.” Ha ha. {That did not happen.} *wink*

    I’ve had the same mistyping experience in Word recently… the autocorrect on my phone is much better than that on my computer!! =)

    I love that poster! Thanks so much for sharing it! I’m wondering if there’s any way to find out how to purchase it. I searched for it on Etsy, but had no luck finding it. Any idea where I could find it? Thanks so much for the encouragement and inspiration! :)

    I love that Aveda Oil! My cousin used to work at Juut and always got 50%off Aveda products. The day before my wedding, she spent the night with me and gave me a nice relaxing message with the oil to calm me down before the “big day.” I slept like a baby and owe it all to that magic potion! ha ha

    Words I needed to hear today.

    8*? I guess I should stop my whining about 18* then. I should be inspired to unpack the long underwear. Its not as if we only get a day or 2 of the cold stuff, right?

    I’ve been reading your story lately and you are inspiring to me. I mean, quitting your day job to sew! Oh to live that dream!!! Thanks for the inspiration! Congratulations on your success! When I grow up (I’m 29) I want to be that bold and quit my day job to follow my passion! :)

    I <3 this! Maybe I'll get it printed out and hang it up somewhere in my home. It's good to be reminded of these things often!
