Motivation Decorations

  Its time to talk about decorations!  We all have different styles and a personal preference to textures, patterns and shapes but what we all like or could use is a little more motivation, inspiration or encouragement in our lives.  It might not even be for ourselves but for other family members or it's just a great saying in general that needs to be posted.

   I found several choices at artsyolive.com!  This site was easy to navigate and whether your looking for a biblical message or a motivating quote they both are available.  There are even some personalized prints available.

  I like that your not only able to personalize a print but, that your also able to select a frame.

I had the choice of a couple frames and I chose the basic black frame.  It was a thick durable frame

It even came with it's own hardware which is nice for hanging it up in a timely manner instead hunting for the pieces.

The packaging was thorough to include packing peanuts as well to keep my print safe. 

I am completely satisfied with this product and service.  The whole experience was easier then i thought.  I think the hardest decision was which print to select and the frame.  I chose this print because I liked the phrase as well as the colors on it.  

Delivery was fast and I actually even had a follow up email to ensure I did want the passage on the bottom.  There is still time to order yours in time for a gift for this holiday season as well.  Feel free to use code Blog15 for a 15% discount!  This code is available through the 30th of this month.  While your waiting for your print you can also try your luck with this giveaway!

I was provided a complimentary item for review purposes.  However all opinions stated were solely my own.

New Year Words to Live for

 Last year I jumped on the wagon of finding words to live by for the year.  Words that motivate me or encouraged me.  Strong words that I could repeat to myself for those desperate times or situations.  I liked chanting them to myself or reminding myself why I was doing what I was doing.  I was determined. I was focused.  Inspiration and motivation not just for me but anyone that was looking at me.  I wanted to be seen as a leader.

  I have decided to go with another few words this year.

Faith
Strength
Pursue
Live life

They are all pretty self explanatory but also the words definition are at my discretion.

Faith doesn't just stop at the church.  It's also for me faith that I can do what I set out to do.  Faith to stay sane and get the job done no matter how hard the task is.

Strength is a state of mind as well as the muscles carrying the weight.  If it's to heavy can I mentally handle it?  Can I carry the load another way?

Faith and strength will help me on this journey together.

Pursue the journey. My eyes are open but I don't know everything thats on my path. I need to stay the course.  I need to keep going.

Live life!  Live life for me. Live life for my family.  Live life for the experience.  When I want to give up I need to live life.  I can't look for the shortcut.  I can't look around I need to plow throw.  I need to hold my head up and wipe the tears that flow.  It will hurt but I need to live life because at the end it will be worth it. I just need to get there.

Faith. Strength. Pursue. Live life.

All of them have different meanings but will help each other and depend on each other to help ease the difficult hurtles in my journey leading to a happy, successful, productive ending!
