Etsy is bad. Bad, because it is so good. You get what I’m saying? It gets worse when you find an artist or shop that makes you click, click and click. Like decoylab.
It is important to have goals.
Dreams and wishes, and makings lists too.
These laser cut bamboo clipboards come with a notepad and a customized pencil that either says ‘Make my wishes come true’ or ‘I will achieve my goals’. Aw.
Say what? ‘Ruin’, you know when something is ruined. It is a gift.
Sometimes things have to be ruined for something new (and most of the time the right thing) to begin. Often something has to force you to ‘move on’ or to try DO something new.
Elizabeth Gilbert said that. Does that make sense? If it does, say thank you.
Always be grateful and say thank you.
P.S. I did not read the book, but watched half of the movie.

They say ‘a change is as good as a holiday’, or more like a dork needs a holiday.
This is what you do on a Sunday afternoon.
Note to self: Find movies that have pink or purple covers.
Yes, there is a day called Purple Day and it is today.
This might be my new favorite holiday.
Yesterday, when I heard about Purple Day, it immediately made me think of all the purple things that I love.
Other favorites include Purple Rain and MAC’s Up The Amp.
“Purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is a good color to use in meditation. Purple has been used to symbolize magic and mystery, as well as royalty. Being the combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colors, purple is believed to be the ideal color.”
Do you have any purple loves?
Actually, this might be my second ‘Turning Tables’ post.
It is just that I cannot get enough of this song.
And Adele. Too good. Just, too good.
This might not be the best video of this song, because something / someone runs into the video guy a few times. Ignore those parts. Oh, and her claw looks funny, ignore that too.
How easy does she make this look?

A few minutes ago I was talking about ‘do you‘ and being yourself, now I am already telling you about living someone else’s life.
You might not be familiar with the name Morgan Spurlock, but you have definitely heard of Super Size Me. Yes, Morgan is that guy who ate McDonalds (and only McDonalds) for 30 days.
After that he seems to enjoy 30-day experiments. Oh, and I am thankful for that.
30 Days is a reality show that aired a few years ago. Wish I knew about it back then, but I am really enjoying it at the moment.
“In each episode, Spurlock, or some other person or group of people, spend 30 days immersing themselves in a particular lifestyle with which they are unfamiliar (e.g. working for minimum wage, being in prison, a Christian living as a Muslim etc.), while discussing related social issues.”
HUGE eye-opener and even only after watching season 1, I have learned quite a bit already.
Now, if you will excuse me, season 2 is waiting.
Watch it.
One of my favorite phrases and little motivations. Do you.
Russell explains it very well and honesty is where it all starts.
It reminds me of the spinning bicycles at the gym. There is a little hidden message, which makes me smile every single time it pops onto the screen. It is not really hidden, but it does have a double meaning in a way.
Every few minutes you will see “Remember: This is your ride”.
Greg put it into his own words. Thank you Greg, really – thank you.
“Eat the same crap, watch the same shows, subscribe to the same blogs, follow the same people, end up the same and contribute nothing new. FUCK THAT! Think harder, look deeper. Don’t do what you’re told because you’re told, don’t do what you see because you see it. Be different for the sake of being different. Push and stumble into uncharted and uncomfortable territories. Discover something new so you can contribute something new. There’s more to know than what everyone knows.
Life’s to short. LIVE YOUR LIFE, not someone else’s.”
Yesss!
Oh the laughter. Especially on a Friday morning at work, when you are not really supposed to be laughing (uncontrollably at times).
Thank you WillyFerrell for making my Friday hilarious.
