Monday Inspiration and Blogging Success Tips

I have seen so many inspirational blog posts that have come from attending the

Alt Design Summit. I think I better join the forces and attend one of these amazing conferences soon!

I love these tips from Tina of SwissMiss via Design for Mankind

1. Nobody can tell you what’s best for you.

2. Surrounding yourself with smart people is key.

3. Don’t just talk; do it. (If it fails, move on.)

4. Be kind and generous. It comes back to you.

5. Your enthusiasm and integrity are your biggest assets.

6. It is possible.

This list from Erin of Apartment34 is just as thought provoking!

1. Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate
2. Hold regular kickin' resource parties
3. Aspire to be uber-nice (like Erin Loechner, aka the human sparkler)

– it’s so much better than the alternative

... and one more list (too long to copy and paste, but definitely worth the read)

is by Marisa on Creative Thursday.

A fantastic list of resources on Not Martha that you don't want to miss!

I hope this inspires you today! Have a super week, and

stay tuned for a fabulous giveaway!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

"Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." ~ Lao Tzu

This time of year, we can get caught up in the whirlwind of shopping, decorating, parties, and yes, more shopping! Don't forget to breathe.... Take time to appreciate what is truly important ~ family, friends and your health. And be sure to laugh ~ it's good for you! All the rest is extra.
