monday motivation - little by little

 I often remind myself that our actions can add up.  Little by little, things add up.  My Father loves to say "Pennies make dollars" - little by little.  Weekly, I roll coins to save for my daughter.

Loving these lucite clip boards that Firefly events uses to keep track of their events.  Another example of "little by little."   What a great and simple system to use.

The on line class "whole food kitchen" that I am taking, now week by week- I can see how all it takes is little by little to create a wholesome salad or easy nourishing meals.

When we stop to take inventory or count our "little by little" actions, we can see results.  I can see the changes in my stamina from early mornings at the track and my exercise class.  What is the little thing you see adding up to make change?

monday motivation - mouthful

You may or may not find this post motivational however, it has everything to do with mouthing off. 

This image is one of my favorites, I feel that this woman is ready to give someone a mouthful.

When was the last time you gave someone a mouthful?  Did you find it liberating?  Did it have to do with standing up for yourself?  

Spending lots of time in the hospital has left me with a mouthful. 

 I feel our health care system is in pretty rough shape. 

The first meal they gave my daughter was "chicken nuggets and french fries."

I of course had a mouthful to say about that.  Do you stand up and give mouthfuls when you see things that are clearly wrong and need change.  Therein lies my motivation.  Stand up when you see something wrong, even if it involves giving a mouthful in order to make it better.

monday motivation, black please

Did you ever consider how a little thing could be so motivating?

I started drinking my coffee black over a year ago.

I like it black.  It took my husband some getting used to.  He kept bringing me coffee with milk in the morning until I simply said two words.  It's the little things that can be very motivating.

Black please.

 It's not that I had anything against milk but I wanted a change.

Black coffee is just right by me and I am loving black accents, doors, boots, frames, grosgrain, chests and fashion.

I also love when I order coffee out.  Just saying black coffee sounds so simple yet bold.

Black please.  

How about you?

What little change have you made that pleased you?
