Spring Inspiration: What Starts Here Changes the World

University of Texas at Austin 2014 Commencement Address - 

Naval Admiral William McRaven

At this crazy time of year, when Spring has finally sprung, schools are letting out for summer, our schedules seem to be out of whack and we feel exhausted and ready for some time away,  I encourage you to stop… and find a few minutes to listen to this amazing commencement address at The University of Texas at Austin.  I can guarantee you it is worth all 19 minutes of your time.

It will inspire you and re-energize you… it will encourage you to be your best and seek the best in others…it will even empower you to want to make your bed EVERY day… and it will make you want to change the world a tiny step at a time. There is not a single person this will not speak to and move to action.

I, for one, will be putting this in my file to review and remind me every so often of what I am capable of doing when I forget.  I invite you to do the same… and to pass it along.

That's how what starts here changes the world.

Life Inspiration for a Friday

Happy Friday, everyone!

I have just returned from the Design Bloggers Conference in Atlanta and I am TOTALLY inspired!!!!  I love when that happens.  I have heard and met the MOST FABULOUS DESIGNERS…. Timothy Corrigan (so accomplished and inspiring), Candice Olson (so unbelievably talented), and Jeffrey Alan Marks (so totally adorable!  I want to have him over for dinner!!!).

Me and JAM

I have also heard from some wonderful, inspiring bloggers.  There is just so much to share but the SIMPLE RULES IN LIFE listed above are what I want to leave you with for the weekend (or Spring Break, if yours happens to be this coming week).  This is something we all know… but, of which, even the most motivated of us occasionally need to be reminded.  

I hope that if you are standing at a life cross-roads, contemplating an idea and cannot seem to get off the mark, or just need a little push to be brave regardless of the issue - this will send you in the right direction. 

If you just say YES and step out of your comfort zone, anything is possible.  We have all faced the fear… and when you look at just moving that mountain one teaspoon at time, you will get where you want to be.

BE INSPIRED!

YOU ARE WORTH IT!
