Monday's Inspiration...

This week just remember to tell yourself: 

Your Attitude is directly affected by your thoughts." Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life!" has been my mantra or affirmation for a few years now. I say it to my kids & Brian all the time whenever they seem to be having a moment of self doubt.

The older I get the more I really understand this. It also affects your outcome, if that makes sense.There are a lot of self help books & Tapes out there. Someone that really helped me was Dana Wilde the creator of The Mind Aware. She has a series of tapes/mp3 that are called "Train Your Brain" series that I bought. It is really a great series to listen to and learn from. What's nice is the beginning has quite a bit of information to absorb but she has broken it up into less than 20 minutes each lesson. I've had the series for almost 2 years now it took me a while to get through but you really can train your brain. Saying a simple thing such as " It's going to be a Great Day!"

When it's Summer…
Take some time to enjoy the sunshine!

It should be mandatory for everyone to take a week off and enjoy the sunshine in the Summer! There is something about having some freedom and down time to… stop and smell the roses, or in my case the day lilies or water lilies or any of my perennials that happen to be blooming in my yard. It reminds me of my childhood when it seemed like you could just plop down on the grass, view up at the sky & see whatever you saw in the clouds.

It's been a little while since I've taken the time to write on this blog, way overdue in fact for someone that loves reading writing and expressing themselves. But sometimes that road we travel called life gets in the way and it is best for an expressive person to make some private time. 

Right now, there are lots of great things for me to be excited about and so it is now time to share my joy and excitement again. 

Here are a few of my recent beautiful things growing in my world and of course if it inspires me, I hope that it will inspire someone else too!

Style Trends for Holidays 2012 & Spring 2013

I know that I like to stay on top of the lastest trends in Style.  So a few weeks ago, I put together a "Jewelry Style trends for the Holidays and Spring of 2013" Flyer for my Sara Blaine Jewelry business with Willow House. I went through some of the fashion magazines as well as I went searching on the web to websites in the know such as Jewelry of America and several other top googled fashion trend reports out there. 
So for the next ten days I'm posting on my Facebook business page a Style tip to know about: www.facebook.com/Pamatwillowhouse1 

For myself I feel that whether your are younger or older, you can still be a Style force in your circle of friends. Nothing makes you feel better than knowing that you are wearing what is considered "In".  So for you all my followers, Keep up with me on both of my pages as I post a style trend for you to learn.

Remember that with my company, we have this awesome Customer Program called "Nifty Fifty" as well as Hostess Rewards that makes it really easy to save. I'm going to save that for a post another day or click on my link above to find out how you can get a discount and save.

Enjoy Your Labor Day!

Wow! It's been awhile, I've been missing blogging but trying to fit it in with some of my multiple jobs is sometimes a hard thing to do. But it's time for me to start posting more though as Life is an adventure and writing about it is a good thing. It makes you appreciate all that you have. I've got so much great design inspiration to share.

"There's always a Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow!"

As Labor Day weekend is here, I just want to wish you all the very best with your family and friends. Be thankful and grateful for all that you have. I love inspirational quotes and think that the one above is the perfect one to post today.Remember that no matter what rough patches you go through, things will get better. Just keep following that rainbow and you will find your pot of gold! This picture was taken as we were driving home from visiting my parents through some pretty sketchy rainstorms. Of course after the rain,comes the rainbow! Wishing you simply good design! God Bless.
