word and quote of the day

HUMBLE



"You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner.  If you actually learn to like being a beginner, THE WHOLE WORLD OPENS UP TO YOU."
-Barbara Sher


i have been reading about blogs, "learning the lingo" so to speak.  i really enjoy blogging almost daily even though there is no rules to follow. what i have learned is that people that read your blog are interested in the person, and want me to be true to myself... be myself.  i feel i have done this, but am going to start giving you little tidbits of me.  what i want is little tidbits of you my readers, as well.  i love feedback, your feelings on things, pictures of you, what you want to know, and if i don't know i will certainly try to find out. lets get to know each other.

for starters, i am beginning to learn new things all the time.  i am an artist.  i paint, do photography- mostly analog- love lomograpy.com.  the best source of analog photos you'll ever find.  my favorite camera is the diana+. i use instagram and hipstamatic apps on my phone, hipstamatic being my favorite!  i do embroidery, and just got a sewing machine and am very excited to learn to sew with the machine rather than by hand (my husband is still threading the machine for me because i just can't get the hang of it).  blogging is new to me.  i love design magazines, dwell, habitus, living etc. to name three of a hundred i read monthly.  love reading books.  collect journals, notebooks, pens; and a lot of time i don't use them they are for me to look at and keep pristine. I also have many, many books. i have three kids- 9, 6 and 1.  they are my true loves.  i will be posting pictures of these things that are important to me soon, i just wanted to let you know where i am coming from in this new blog that i am enjoying immensely.

thanks for reading- mem

word and quote of the day

RESPONSIBILITY



"Chart your own course."  -Proverb

it's never too late...

to stop blaming others

It's the easy way out.
It brings us no credit.
It gives others power over us.
Ultimately we  must take control of our own lives.
Make our own decisions.
Cop the blame.
When we do, it liberates us.
Take charge.


this is taken from a book i reference a lot called    It's Never Too Late... 172 simple acts to change your life  by Patrick Lindsay.  I highly recommend it, there is so much we can learn at any age.  Also Paul Arden's book IT'S NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE,IT'S HOW GOOD YOU WANT TO BE  is very informative, almost all you need to know to be successful in this unpredictable time.

make it happen- mem

"DO IT NOW! As soon as possible is too damn late."
- Pat Croce

I am a procrastinator! No getting around it. Today I am making the decision to make it happen! Also I will have a positive attitude today. My choices I make have an impact on everyone around me, and I will be aware! Have a good day. -Mem
