Oh, how I needed to see this! It went zing, straight to my soul. Women have such a tendency to compare aspects of our lives against another’s, and the outcome is usually a wash of self-doubt or jealousy…never pretty and certainly never productive. Only when we celebrate each other’s unique strengths, gifts and blessings will we be able to do the same for ourselves.
This beautiful little sign was truly the perfect pick-me-up and a gently reminder to seek more joy. I love signs, sayings and verses that prompt me to think more clearly throughout the day. When scattered throughout the house or on beloved items, they act like a sigh…soothing my spirit or re-energizing my thoughts.
This week, I combed through my Etsy favorites for artists offering similar reminders. I like to think of them as nuggets of wisdom wrapped in a chic little package and delivered with a wink.

:) Katie I was hoping to see another Friday afternoon post though this was richer than I expected. Looking for another "fashion Friday" post, I instead found motivation for contentment (not contemptment-which we are prone to).
ReplyDeleteThank you for your transparency and example.
Wonderful post! I love all those little "reminders" too. My favorite is the Roosevelt quote-I need to post that on my mirror. And the "Because everything is relative, choose joy" one. So glad you shared it. :) Andrea
