Today I'm trading a little something pink for some inspiration. I have six 2 ounce packets of German glass glitter and micro beads (all pink of course!) to give away. In the comment section leave your favorite quote that inspires you. The one that actually gets your butt off the couch and gets you moving. The one that works. I will put all your names in a bag and have a disinterested third-party (my husband) randomly pick one. The little glitter prize will go to the winner. I will announce the winner in this very post on Sunday morning. One of my favorite quotes is by Stephen Pressfield and contained within The War of Art. Absolutely one of my favorite books, read and read again. The sort of book you follow someone around with reading aloud just in case they need a little inspiration too. "Creating soap opera in our lives is a symptom of resistance. Why put in years of work designing a new software interface when you can get just as much attention by bringing home a boyfriend with a prison record." You all know someone like this. And it works, drama gets attention and it's really not all that difficult. Studying, creating, writing, getting up each and every day and doing what you need to do is difficult. When you're starting a business or learning a craft, or just trying something that's outside of your comfort, it would certainly be easier to stop and distract yourself and everyone around you with a little drama. And you will get attention, but you'll never get anything done.
Let me know what motivates you. What gets you off the sofa and on to writing your book, sewing your quilt, making pottery, creating your dream.
Photos are of Rosa rugosa "Sandy" and Lonicera halliana. I especially love the rose. The deer who devour everything else they can in my yard do not touch it, insects don't eat it, and it grows fast and smells wonderful. In fall there are enormous rose hips.
