Fight the Fear: Motivation Monday

Hello!

I was watching Esteé from EssieButton the other day and her words drew me in. More specifically, the quotes she was reciting, and her description of the overall vibe she got from the growingly-famous book Yes Please by Amy Poehler. 

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expecting that particular video from EssieButton to be my favourite, yet it really drew me in. Not being one to watch SNL, I don't really know who Amy Poehler is (don't shoot me), yet don't think I didn't go straight ahead and follow her on YouTube! I love the way Esteé described her as being such a positive person, up for laughs and is all for the idea of living in the moment. Some of the quotes she recited really got to me, so I rewinded and wrote 3 down. Out of those three, this is the one that fits me most in this moment in time, so naturally, I wrote it out on the whiteboard, and how could I not share it with you?

The quote is meant to portray "everyone has fear". The fear that we think only ourselves feel is probably felt by everyone, yet those doing the things you want to do have overcome that fear and fought. Although it's hard to admit it, we can do anything, and the fear is not what should stop us. We're all scared, just go out there and face it.

I know it's much easier said that done, but, it might be easier done if we believe we're not the only ones faced with the problem, and we can overcome it.

I wish you all the best is whatever plans you have for yourself, and I know you can overcome that fear and do what's best for you. You're never going to be 'ready', you just have to do it.

Tell me, what's one time you were scared, but did something anyway? & How do you feel about it now?

*Well, in some scenarios this isn't the case, because you may not be scared... but you get the gist ;)

Happy Valentines Day!

Hello! 

14th February. The day you either love or hate - however, as Valentines Day is going to occur whether we care or not, it's nice to spread the love. That could be to family or friends or even a special person!

It was super fun to write Valentines Post's for the blog! If you didn't catch them they were (click on them to view) :

So, I hope you have a super fun Valentines Day, with your valentine, family, friends or a simple me-time movie night in - just enjoy it!

What did you think of the Valentines Post Series? Would you want to see more festive series? Leave suggestions below! :)

Happy Halloween!

BOO!!

Did that scare you? Did it? Did it? haha, instead of introducing you with 'Hello!' I chose 'BOO!!' because that's just more appropriate for this fine autumn day, marking the last day of October (and the day Vampires come out!).

So I drew a picture in the theme of tonight and wanted to share it with you. It's the same kind of thing as this picture, and I hope you have an AMAZING halloween!

If you're still stuck for costume ideas click here for last minute ideas you probably have in your closet anyway...

I hope you have a FANG-tastic night and enjoy it!

A Quote to Remember.. Motivational Monday #2

Hello,

a fresh start to the week reminds us that anything is possible and we have a clean slate to work on.
I got a little board happy when I remembered that I had a bunch of new board pen colours waiting to be used (thank you Costco!) and did what naturally came to me:

Actually, there were a couple of Ladybirds on my window the other day and I got to see them up close and personal... and they inspired me to create this:

Do what makes you happy...

Take out your wings and fly if you feel like it or just sit back and relax: just enjoy.

Hope this makes you motivated and check out this post for more
