Friday Frills




If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference,
To embark upon something worth doing,
IT IS NOW.

Not for any grand worldly cause, necessarily...
But for something that tugs at your heart,
Something that's your inspiration, something that's your dream.
You owe it to yourself to make every single day count.
SO HAVE FUN. DIG DEEP. STRETCH. DREAM BIG.

Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.
There will be good days. And there will be bad days.
There will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up, and call it quits. 
Those are the times that will challenge you, 
And it will prove that you're not afraid to learn by trying.

PERSIST.
Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools,
You can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect and your heart guide you.

TRUST.
Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard. Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons. Of lasting friends. 
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great,
And remember, with a little hope...
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

*le sigh!* That sunshine and the beach in the photo is making me wish even harder for summer right about now!

I really love this, it's true for any endeavor in we undertake in life, weather it's school, work, charity, marriage, parenthood or our dreams. You have to work hard, keep going through the bad times and do what gives you joy. (Unless one is evil scientific, then hopefully they won't apply this!)

Hi Sam!! Love to read these words every friday, you give me lots of positive energy and much will on things! I agree with them, I think that in every day there are good and bad moments, we just need to not give up when the worst happens, just remember that every big goals needs sacrifice and courage to achieve them, sometimes we also need help from others, the real friends, the people who always support and make us happy:) So, lets keep hoping and smiling cause we can do anything:) Kisses dear and happy friday!♥

Wow, Sam, very inspirational and perfect, as we all are there sometimes where it all seems so much to handle (like this week with a fab opportunity but a super rush deadline to create an elaborate illustration for a perfume company (my second for them) in less than half the amount of time I usually schedule for an illustration of this detail, in order for them to get it to print and into stores by Mother's Day. So ... very appropriate post! lol Have a great weekend and thanks so much for your sweet comment Wednesday. xo ~S
