Well, hello there, and happy Monday to you, friends!! It looks like we’ve survived the big Polar Vortex, and, WOW, what an experience that was!! I’ll be posting more about it this week, but for now, let me just say that I’m glad that I can do my work at the kitchen table once again! It was so cold this week that I had to set up shop in front of the fireplace!! Whew!! But you know what turned out to be a happy little accident? All the days we had to stay in the house! Yes, when all is said and done, the downtime we got to enjoy was wonderful. Well, maybe Ms. Bear wouldn’t exactly call it all wonderful, but trust me, it was aces! That downtime actually got me thinking of today’s motivational quotes and how downtime can be so therapeutic if we lean into it, you know?

Good Monday afternoon, friends!!! I feel like we haven’t done a traditional Monday quotes in AGES, but it’s actually only been two weeks!! Time sure is a funny, isn’t it?? Anyway, I’m pretty sure that today’s quotes are inspired by the fact that it’s STILL bitterly cold — honestly, I feel like my body is frozen into little icicles all the time! What’s that? Did someone say FROZEN?!? Why, that’s just about my favorite Disney movie (after The Little Mermaid, of course!). It’s all about sisters and being your true self and…letting it go!!! Wow, that’s a great tune, isn’t it? And one I’ve been taking to heart lately! When everything gets to be too much, I try to stop and think and tell myself that it’s OK to let it go!! Don’t feel guilty! Maybe these five quotes on why you should let it go will help you on your journey…
