Quote of the Day

Karrie sent me this picture message from a gift store in Scotland a few days ago, and it has since become my new mantra, and the screen saver on my phone.  Truer words may have never been spoken.

It’s like a little light bulb just went off in my head (ping!) …courtesy, once again, of Mr. Edison.  That profound little sentence has inspired me to start tackling a LOT of stuff that’s been treading water on my to-do list for a long, LONG time.  From trivial things – like cleaning out my closet and getting back into my skinny jeans – to bigger fish, e.g. “what am I really doing with my life?”  Mr. Light Bulb Man’s words have made me take a good look in the mirror, re-evaluate what I need to be doing to get me to the places I wanna go, and have set me in motion.  Giddy up.  Because, seriously.  WHAT I been WAITING on?

And what about YOU?!  Are you exactly where you wanna be?  Doing what you wanna be doing?  Welp, if you’re not, now’s your chance!  Whatcha waitin’ on?  Go get it!

PS: We would love to hear your story – leave a comment and tell us what’s on your list!

xoxo,

Weekend Words

“I must learn to love the fool in me – the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.  It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”

-Theodore I. Rubin, MD

Amen.  This shot (whimsical, ain’t it?) and others available on the photographer Marc Ohrem Leclef’s site.

Happy weekend errrbody.
