And then it was Monday. A tip to make a strangers day Brighter!

Yes it's Monday. No stress though because it is also a holiday! Whoo hoo! I hope you all have an amazing Labor Day!
Have you ever had one of those days? You wake up late, burn your forehead with the strait iron, and don't get breakfast so your stomach growls all morning? I was having one of those days. Except it was also raining. After trudging up the hill to campus I stopped by the bathroom to try to fix up my flat, wet hair and clean up the mascara running down my face. That's when I saw it.
It was pink.
It was slightly worn.
It made my day.
It looked kinda like this. (Except pink.)

I am so sad I didn't think to take a picture that day. But since then I have been thinking, It really couldn't have taken the girl who put it up more than a couple seconds to scribble on that post it note and stick it on the mirror! And it made me smile all day! Who knows how many people that girl touched with something so simple?
Since then I have thought up a few similar ways to brighten someones' day. Disclaimer- I'm sure other people have done similar things, I don't claim to be the mastermind of these ideas.

• Print off inspirational/motivating quotes on a piece of paper, cut them out so they look like fortune cookies, and leave them places like in a window, taped to a light post, and other random places people will probably see them.

• Leave a nice note in the pockets of some jeans you tried on in a store.

Anyways, you get the idea. Try it sometime! You never know what impact something so small can have.
Spread the Love! Happy Labor Day!

Challenge still in Effect!

Happy happy weekend! Just so you know, You still have until Sunday night to take the challenge. Please, Please PLEASE come back and leave a comment saying you did! We all want to be inspired by you here! Also, guess what everybody?!?

Fall is coming!!!
Today the temperature dropped like 10 degrees! I think that is reason for celebration. Give someone a hug, write a nice note, smile until your cheeks hurt! Spread the love!!!
See you on Monday!

Pin-spired

This is a quote I ran across on Pinterest today. Doesn't it make you feel pin-spired?

Of course, I can't claim to be the brains behind this quote. But I agree to the truthfulness of it! Make an effort to do something today! The challenge from my last post still stands. Don't be shy! (go ahead and see what I did for the challenge.) No effort is insignificant!
One year I attended a Time Out for Women. Let me just say real quick, If any of you have been meaning to go but haven't, GO! And for those of you who haven't heard of it, Look It UP! It was fantastic! Anyways, one of the speakers that year named Mary Ellen Edmunds gave a talk on being happy and being productive. Mary Ellen fantastic and has wrote several inspirational books for women. That day she gave us a tip I will never forget on how to trick yourself into being productive. (I apologize for not having the direct quote. I looked for it everywhere.) She suggested that when we need to go running, but just can't bring ourselves to get out of our pajamas, to say, "Ok. I probably wont go running this morning. But I'll put on my running shorts anyway." and then, "Well, I might as well throw my hair up and get my water bottle. I'm still not going to go running." All of the sudden, you are dressed and ready to go. By that point you might as well go running anyway!
Since then, I like to tackle all of my big projects like that. One step at a time. Pretty soon the project is done and I don't know what hit me!
Good luck this week! Don't forget the challenge!
