Happy Monday, friends, and welcome to the month of June! And happy Pride Month!! I’ve been loving seeing everyone share stories on social media, and I’m so proud to be an ally of the LGBTQ community!! Now more than ever, we must shout from the rooftops…LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE. It’s such a fundamental, basic human right, you know? Love whoever you want. Freely and without shame! People should have that freedom, and it’s an incredibly sad reality that they don’t in 2019. We need to do everything we can to change that and to create a safe space for those who are LGBTQ. So for today’s motivational quotes, here are five quotes all about the power of Pride Month…
Motivational Quotes Monday: Stand Up and Fight For Women’s Rights
Welcome to Monday, friends!! I hope your week is off to a good start! In thinking about today’s motivational quotes, I almost thought about prefacing them with an apology — an apology for being repetitive and sounding like a broken record. And then, just as quickly as that thought came, I caught myself and said, “You know what? No, I will not apologize!” And I shouldn’t have to apologize either. Because when it comes to fighting for women’s rights, it is never the time to stay silent or calm or not rock the boat. With even more states passing dangerous abortion bans, we all need to rock this boat as hard and as loudly as we can! All of us. After all, if we don’t, who will? With that in mind, here are five quotes all about the importance of women’s rights…

Motivational Quotes Monday: Teacher Appreciation Week Should Be Every Week
Good Monday morning, friends!!! How are you doing on this lovely spring day? I’m at the library today working on a couple deadlines — and anxiously waiting for a new piece to go live!! So excited about this one!! I was also excited when I discovered that this week is Teacher Appreciation Week, so I thought that would be the perfect topic for today’s motivational quotes!! Teachers are powerful, aren’t they? They shape us and inspire us and make such a difference in our lives. They’re the people we never forget, even years after graduating; I still remember how my high school journalism teacher showed me that, yes, I could actually be a writer! So take some time today — and every day — to thank a teacher!! Here are five quotes in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week…
Motivational Quotes Monday: Why Rainy Days Are So Soothing
Happy Monday, friends!! I don’t know about you, but today did NOT go exactly as I’d planned. This was the scene last night: I get in bed relatively early (11:30…yayyy for me!) with visions and hopes of going to the library today. I woke up…and it was raining! Hard. We’re talking a constant downpour! That weather, coupled with this situation, and, well, let’s just say that I was in no mood to leave the house! But the rain did get me thinking about today’s motivational quotes! As the Carpenters once sang, “Rainy days and Mondays always get me down” and we’ve got both those in the Midwest, thanks to some April showers! Yet these days can be quite soothing, can’t they? They lull you into a sort of peaceful calm! Here are five quotes all about rainy days…
