Inspire Me Monday - Week 1


Welcome to Inspire Me Monday hosted by Create With Joy
A place to share your creative inspirations
Sharpen your creative vision and
Showcase your creative talents!
I invite you to inspire others and
Nurture your creative spirit.
 
Alright, Divas, this week I'm connecting with some creative spirits over at Create With Joy to share what's inspiring and motivating me this week

 Saying "no" to some requests and letting go of some unnecessary responsibilities was extremely liberating this week.  As I work on focusing on what's important and necessary in my life, being un-busy feels awesome!!!
 
Neka T. who blogs over at Neka T. Speaks reminded me this week that it's okay to do something nice for me.  Often we scrimp and save for everything else for everyone else and neglect ourselves.  She's challenged her readers to a 90 Day Common Sense Challenge.
For the next 90 days, I will be taking either $2 or the spare change left over in my purse/pockets each day and putting them aside to do something fun and splurge on myself. From today through April 14th, I will be putting a little aside each day for.....a new Coach purse from the Coach Outlet.  (Hey, I've got to maximize my savings and fun...LOL). Head over, check out the challenge, and chime in if you'd like to join in.
 
Check back tomorrow morning, for the last thing on my list for this week...it includes a wonderful new book, lots of free giveaways and an all-day party! Win-win-win!

Happy Monday Divas!!! Enjoy your week!

    I love this post, Michelle!

    We are ALL too busy - it is bred into us as part of our culture!

    We're made to feel lazy if we aren't.

    But I agree - if we are ever able to accomplish something of worth - we have to stop with all of the busy work and start focusing on what really matters.

    I hope you have an inspiring week!
