Feeling Inspired


I felt inspired this week. Specifically from this post on Sarah's blog, and this post on Jess' blog. The truth is, reality isn't always as perfect as the blog world makes it seem. And not that this week was tough for me or anything, but sometimes it is easy to lose track of your vision. These posts were a simple reminder to take a step back, breathe, find your strength, be confident, and trust that what you're doing is worth it. A great way to step into the weekend, yes?

I have absolutely no plans this weekend, and words can describe how happy this makes me feel. The weather in Chicago has been so lovely, I am hoping it continues. What are you up to?

  2. that quote was the push i needed to sign up for improv classes, which scares the dickens out of me. i'm hoping against hope that i don't have to go in to work this weekend. the weather in NYC has been awesome too and i'd LOVE for it to stay that way!
