Hello October

Wordless Wednesday: Heavenly coffee

Go to work

I saw this quote the other day and I LOVE it! This is exactly how I feel in regard to my writing. It's not always easy (it's never easy!) but I love writing SO MUCH! I love creating stories and characters and sometimes a world. I also struggle with it at times but I keep going because I don't feel like myself when I don't write. SO I've written Stephen King's above quote in my journal and I'm going to refer to it because as I said - I totally agree! Plus, whether it's meant to be or not - it is motivating! 

Happiness is...

Books are gifts

Be afraid but take action

I love, love, LOVE this quote by Carrie Fisher! I absolutely agree with it and reading it today feels like kismet. I know I sometimes let fear get in my way. I think we all do but we have to get past the fear in order to be successful. This can be true in any facet of our lives. Recently I believe I have been letting the fear of yet another rejection hinder my writing. I feel kind of stupid about that and yet - human. I know I have to take the next step. I WANT  to take the next step(s). So I will. 

Stand out

Patience is key

Patience is the key 

because when the right time comes, 

it will be very beautiful 

and totally worth the wait.

I have no idea who said this but it is a quote that I really need right now! Tere is so much on my plate and the balancing act feels like it might tumble and crash. So I'm trying to take a deep breath and remember that 'patience is key' and 'this too shall pass'.

Patience

What an interesting and rather lovely quote. I hope it's true because I have been struggling with patience for the last couple of days. Actually, patience is something I've struggled with a lot of my life. I don't mean to be impatient and don't even want to be but as I said, it has been a struggle. 

Write

Don't give up

This is a reminder I need for myself this evening! 

Gratitude

Stay positive

Crochet

I love this quote because it is so true! I'm in the process of crocheting blankets for my kids. They are designs and colors that they chose for themselves so I know they'll like them. Now, if I could just finish them in time for Christmas. Actually, I do think I'll be able to do it, though.

If it's important...

Waiting

Waiting is SO HARD! I've decided that while I am waiting to hear news about something that is very important to me I will get to work on something else. That way I am still being productive with my time. I will still be moving forward. 

Dream

Heat wave and beach days

We are at the beginning of a heat wave here in Southern California! It's supposed to last about a week with the worst of it being in the lower 100's on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. OF COURSE, it's also the first week of school for my kids! UGH! My poor babies! Needless to say though, we are definitely going to fit in a day at the beach and lots of swimming after school. Now thaqt school is resuming I am SO READY for the cooler temperatures of Autumn! 

Enjoy life

Only this moment...
