I just really love how spirited this is! The beauty in the imperfection.

It's a common theme amongst creatives for a reason but it definitely applies to life as well.
Take courage dear heart and if you find yourself stuck, scrap it and start afresh!

It can be hard to start over sometimes. To scrap something completely and let it go. But it can also be the very best thing, especially in design but also in life.
If something isn't working for you have the guts to throw it out and start over! You can do it!

As I have learned all to well and all too sadly in life... life is a precious thing that doesn't last...
So live each moment and each breath to the fullest.

This is one of my all time favorite quotes and reminders.
How will you choose joy today?

You can bloom wherever you are. Whether it's a small town, big city, or sate of mind.
You can even bloom in a state of sorrow.
Just lift your head up towards the sun and find the light everyday.
Eventually, you'll be a beautiful flower.

This week is a call to beauty. To finding it that is.
To opening our eyes and choosing to see the good, the lovely, the beautiful that's always there somewhere.
Let's find it!

Have you seen the film Saving Mr. Banks?
It's a very touching film about Walt Disney attempting to woo the author P.L. Travers into filming and then the production of her book Mary Poppins onto the screen.
One of my favorite scenes in the film is when P.L. Travers is saying goodbye to her driver whom, through their developed relationship, she has discovered has a handicapped daughter. She hands him a note with these names and this is what she tells him.
It's a particularly powerful scene about not living within the restrictions society puts on you but pushing those boundaries and exceeding expectations and perceived limitations.
It really resonated with me.
As someone growing up with ADD, mild dyslexia, legally blind in one eye, and now a chronic auto immune disorder that regularly wreaks havoc it is a most poignant reminder that the only thing holding me back is me.
I might not be able to participate with society on its terms or in the way it expects but I can still exceed expectations. Including the most important expectations, my own.
My parents definitely instilled this in me growing up and I am so grateful. It has afforded me wonderful opportunities and amazing feats and experiences that might not have happened otherwise.
But for those of you who haven't heard and all of us that need to be reminded: we are capable of anything!
Now go exceed your expectations today!

What will you do with your thousand dreams?
I say start a blaze.
Put in the work to let them burn bright and light up the world.
(Or at least your little corner of it!)
Life is a preciously delicate fleeting gift.
So go make your dreams happen.
Light the world on fire.
Kisses,

How beautiful is this print by oh my deer of this awesome Van Gogh quote?
(You can purchase it here.)
"I am seeking
I am striving
I am in it
With all my heart."
Vincent Van Gogh
I want to end my Inspire Me Tuesdays during what many consider to be a month about love on this note.
Love is not all about romantic endeavors and being swept off your feet.
Love, both romantic and otherwise, is about seeking, striving, and being in it (whatever that may be) with all your heart.
When we choose to do these things in love we are not being passive. We are making an active choice. A choice that has to be made every day and from moment to moment. When we live like this we can't lose because no matter what happens we are secure knowing that we truly loved and truly gave our all.
I challenge us all to seek more, strive more, and be in more, and give everything we do and our loved ones more.
Let's give them our whole hearts.
Who knows what we might find or get in return? At the worst we'll find ourselves and a renewed sense of worth... Sounds pretty awesome to me.
Kisses,
K
