"It's a perfect day for a perfect day!"

I don't have much to say today. I know for a fact that some good has come out of this project. I've only had the project in the works for a short amount of time but it is such a wonderful feeling getting positive feedback.

Additionally, you should all check out "Breathe In" by Frou Frou. It's such a beautiful song. The entire album is really great. Imogen Heap's albums are pretty fantastic as well. :)

Take care!!

Every single day we have the opportunity to choose whether we want to be happy or not. WE decide how things affect our mood. Each moment is a chance to change the course of your life. What you do with it is up to you. You can seize the great opportunity or let it pass you by.

"Happiness is not a destination. It's a way of life."

Obviously there are other things that factor in. And somedays it's alright to have a downright crappy day. Because without those bad moments, how are we supposed to appreciate the beauty that is constantly flowing around us?

Take care.

"Don't think too much. You'll think your entire life away. Just close your eyes and follow your heart. I promise it knows the way."

It's human to over analyze nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Perhaps it is part of our struggle to understand ourselves and the world around us. Who are we? What are we here for? Why do we do the things we do? Why did this certain event unfold in this matter?

But here's a bigger question, why can't we just accept the way things are and continue on with our lives? Why do we have to ask so many questions, causing worry and anxiety? Can't we just be happy with what we have?

I ran across a quote several months ago that said something about how "the fact that we're still standing at the end of the day is reason enough to celebrate." There is some truth to that, but that means that we're just SURVIVING...why not fight to THRIVE in our daily lives? Has the world really made it THAT difficult for us to THRIVE?

Get rid of the garbage in your life. Do some spring cleaning and figure out what you really need in order to be happy. If you don't take care of yourself, how are you ever going to be able to worry about anyone else? To be fair, you must know yourself before you can really invest in someone else.

Anyway, I apologize if this isn't as uplifting as you would expect. It's just something that's on my mind.

Take care.

Hello!

I am in love with this video. It's so moving. Please watch it. It's less than two minutes long, and it's beautiful.

This video is also pretty fantastic. The same girl that made the previous video did this one. Just over one minute, and immensely thought-provoking. Give it a chance.

Anyway, I gotta run...but I thought I'd post a quick update. Hopefully my notes are reaching people! I have a few floating around town. Let's get this ball rollin'!

Take care.

I have yet to get my post it notes out. It's not that I haven't had the opportunity to...because let's be honest, I have. I just keep forgetting that I have them with me. I'll make an effort to post a few tomorrow.

Take care.

WELCOME!

Hello there!

So, I've created this blog, not for myself. But in order to create a better world. Trust me, I know how cliche it sounds for me to say that I want to change the world. But I really do. And it's not that I want to do something HUGE. I just want to be able to do a lot of little things that can, in turn, cause a big change. What I want for the world is love. Whether that means helping people learn to love themselves, love others, or share their love. Love really IS powerful, but don't be afraid of it.

I've also started writing little quotes, sayings, lyrics, etc. on sticky notes and whenever I go anywhere, I take them with me and leave them around for people to see. I can only hope that someone will be inspired by them. If one person sees my notes and passes it on, it can reach a whole network of people. And that's what I want, for people to be inspired and pass that inspiration along. We are not alone in this world, I assure you.

I try to censor my notes so that they will not offend anyone. They're meant to be uplifting and thought provoking, not upsetting and offensive. So, I apologize ahead of time if I happen to offend anyone. I only want love to enter your life, promise.

Here's a taste of what I put on the sticky notes...

"I know who I was when I got up this morning...but I think I must have been changed several times since then." - Alice In Wonderland.

"No one is perfect. But we are all beautiful because of it. I don't want to be perfect. I want to be me. THAT is what it's about. Individuality. Embrace it." - Suzanne :)

"Be thankful for each and every moment."

"If you're lucky enough to be different from everybody else, don't change."

I'll post more later, but that's just a little sample of what's going to be going around.

I'll try to update at least a couple times a week. Once I get more notes out, I'll try to set a schedule for myself to update. So check back soon, and tell your friends about the site. Also, feel free to comment - I'd love to hear what you all think.

Take care.
