I love surrounding myself with inspiration:
Beautiful quotations.
Paintings that evoke emotion.
Snippets printed from an email.
A tiny picture of something I love.
Generally, this consists of a post-it note I tuck in my pocket so I find it every so often. (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that before on the internet…. so I guess the secret is out!) I write down a quotation that I carry with me and refer to from time to time. If I need a pick me up, I pull it out… or if I happen to put my hand in my pocket I’ll happily run into it.
I have a “label” saved on my gmail filled with every single nice email I’ve ever received. If I ever receive a mean email/comment/tweet/whatever, I select an email from the Nice Label at random. Instant cheering up!
I like having these little things to help cheer me up, or give me extra motivation, or inspire me to do more… but I would definitely love to have some of these Etsy posters. When I get an office (??????), I will definitely have a stash of these that I will swap out every so often. They will not only brighten my mood, but could brighten someone else’s!!!
Sometimes I tend to stay in my comfort zone. I am perfectly happy staying inside all day reading quietly. But it’s really important that I be (at least a little) adventurous sometimes! I think having this print is a cute reminder to step away from my computer and go on a little adventure.
you are braver than you believe. stronger than you seem. smarter than you think. and more loved than you know.
Okay, this is basically self-explanatory. #coffeeaddict
New York is my obsession. I have amazing London memories. And I dream of Paris.
I swear I will be so bored if I don’t do some thing I love. I am so confident that I will love whatever I do… and I want to wake up every morning knowing that!

I love the second quote. Such a great mood booster for a bad day!
These are perfect. I'm moving into a new apartment in DC and want minimalism with touches of color. Thanks for the linking the Etsy scores!
What a great post! I also love your idea of sticking quotes and well wishes in your pockets, so special!
These are lovely, Carly! I want to frame some of my favorite quotes, now!
