Today is the Day Extra
You decide whatever this day should be for you. Give yourself permission to make it what you want it to be. This sign can remind you to JUST GO FOR IT! The extra is for a different look. We simply placed the reminder on a calming photo of serene water with just enough energy to emphasize the message. So JUST GO FOR IT!
Sleeping Kitty
Oh, to sleep like this! Napping outside on a warm summer day in the country. Not a possibility for you? Then live vicariously through this peaceful white kitty as she slumbers with no cares in the world on the porch steps . An atmosphere in which even the tiny flowers feel safe to grow.
Remember to Smile
This is Pancake, the Bearded Dragon. He lives with three young men, their mom and dad in a beautiful old house. I love the look on his face. He makes me smile. Hope he does the same for you. But in case you need help, he can remind you to SMILE. (In case you are wondering, that IS his smile!)
Falling Into Place
Life can be something sometimes. Something you just don't want to deal with. But what if that something is just a jag in the road on the way to something absolutely wondrous? This photo is an unaltered shot of an early morning sunrise over a river. Look at the serenity of the river. Peace is gently hugging the river's shore. Peace is there for you, too. Don't be hasty. Work it out until everything you think is falling apart is actually falling into place.
Be All In
When you truly believe in something or want to accomplish something, no matter what it is, you must determine to Be All In. Approach it with half a heart and it will be only half done. Determine to Be All In until the end, and the finished product, powered by your tenacity, will be part of your great legacy
Coffee In One Hand
Do coffee and confidence have anything to do with one another? Maybe. But it's important to understand confidence is the most important ingredient. So enjoy your coffee -- or tea or water -- held in one hand then pack as much confidence as you can in the other. Now, show the world whatcha got!
Why Not?
This may be the most difficult question you ever ask yourself: Why not? Before you limit yourself to the safety of "I've always done it this way" or "That's out of my comfort zone" ... really think about it. Ask many questions. Really deep, even difficult questions. If it won't hurt you or someone you love ... Why not?
Chloe
This is Chloe, a beautiful dog inside and out. She is a rescue dog, her beginnings are unsure. But her sense of finally having peace and love at this moment lives forever in this photo. You can carry -- and enjoy -- her peace and love no matter where you are ... even where no dogs are allowed. Treasure your peace.
Barn Door
There is something about weathered barn wood that connects with our souls. The wood was once brand spankin' shiney new, used to build a barn that would protect farm machinery, animals, and all things farming. This door led the way to life. Through the years, the barn has survived the challenges of time, remaining upright and sturdy. It's beauty is it's history. Imagine your own story for this door attached to a barn still faithfully doing its job.
Be Fabulous
This is the side of a building. I added the words, but isn't the structure fabulously designed? You are, too! Even if you think you look plain to others, you can show the world your fabulousness because you are here for a reason. You are not a mistake! Be fabulous. Keep this encouragement front and center so you never forget.
Tree Stump
Have you ever considered trees as inspirational or educational? Even when a part of the tree is removed, it teaches you of its past AND shows you how to grow forward. A portion of this tree was cut off, but adjacent sections continued the mission of growing. Think you can't do something as miraculous as this? YES YOU CAN! Keep this image in front of you to remind you.
Peggy's Dog
Here is a moment of contemplation caught on camera. Yes, it is a dog and who knows what she is contemplating. But the message is calming. Natural light floods over her beautifully peaceful face. Notice her ears. She is definitely alert and the relaxed tension in her body tells you she is ready for the next thing. Are you ready for the next thing? Here is your inspiration to take on that next thing you are passionate about.
Celebrate Your Success
How often do you give yourself credit when you've done something right? Or good? Compare that to how often you indict yourself when things don't go the way you planned. Be kind to yourself! You do not have to be arrogant or boastful, but recognize the good you have done. Celebrate your success!
Barn Window
If you could peek through this barn window, you would see history. Three generations of the same family milked cows in this barn. Dairy farming was the family's livelihood and the land has been in this same family for nearly one hundred forty years. The cows are but a memory now, but the land is still used for growing crops. Just imagine the family stories this window could reveal.
