Motivational Quotes Monday: On the Importance of Being Grateful

Good morning, my friends!!! If you live on the East coast or in the Midwest, what did you think of the snowy weekend? My mom spent Saturday morning baking cookies and listening to Michael Bublé Christmas music and even I’ll admit that it was sort of pretty (dare I say…magical?) to see the snowflakes falling outside. It was one of those moments where I thought, “yes, this is a moment to be thankful for!” And speaking of being thankful, I’ve been thinking about that very thing a lot lately, especially as we approach Thanksgiving this week! So for today’s motivational quotes, I thought we’d talk about what it means to be grateful. Don’t get me wrong — there are so many bad things in this world and we have A LOT of work ahead of us. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t also recognize those grateful moments and count the things we’re grateful for, right? We need the balance of both in our lives, so here are five quotes to inspire us and celebrate those grateful moments big and small…

Motivational Quotes Monday: Why Music Is Such An Awesome Force

Happy Monday, friends!! Winter is a-coming and it’s SO cold outside, so I decided to hibernate at home today! I hope you’re having a good week so far! This Wednesday is a very big day for my blog and the excitement hasn’t fully sunk in yet. So what am I doing? Overanalyzing about why. Typical me, right? But anyway, today’s motivational quotes are inspired by none other than Freddie Mercury! Ever since we went to see Bohemian Rhapsody last week, I’ve been listening to Queen, singing their songs around the house and watching countless clips on YouTube. I’ve always been a fan, but the movie gave me a new appreciation for the band, especially when it comes to the power of music. Music is the ultimate form of self-expression. It transcends every language and can pierce your heart with just one note. On that note (see what I did there??), here are five quotes all about the love of music…
