Inspiration Monday

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I love quotes. I am sure this love comes from my father who has always loved using quotes when talking to people and loves jotting them down on the nearest piece of paper. On my desk, right where I can see them, I keep a list of 4-5 different quotes. I change them up every month or so. There are many times when I feeling tired and worn out, but even a simple glance at them can do so much for me. So, this week, instead of putting together something visual for Inspiration Monday, I decided to post a few quotes that are inspiring to me. Do you have some quotes that you feel are inspiring to you?

“Progress, not perfection.” - Unknown

“Be yourself. The world worships the original.”  - Jean Cocteau

“There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them.” - Tom Krause

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” - Mahatma Gandhi

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle

“Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there.” - Josh Billings

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing that you will make one.” - Ellen Hubbard

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.” - Alexander Hamilton

The NEW & IMPROVED Signing Safari website!

signingsafariSigning Safari develops and produces DVD’s that teach parents how to use American Sign Language to increase communication with their hearing babies, toddlers and preschoolers — lessening the typical stresses of early childhood.

Signing Safari’s old website did not reflect their brand and the functionality was lacking - they were interested in a complete redesign of their site. The new site is clean, colorful and meets all of the clients needs. This particular website features a shopping cart and a content managed system that allows the client to make changes to content within the site.

Inspiration Monday 8.17.09 - Relax!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I just returned home from vacation and have been thinking about how important that time was - to spend with my family and simply relax. It was something that I haven’t done in a long time - nearly a year, in fact. During that time away from work (Tarte Advertising) I was able to release, think, reflect and recharge. As I returned home to work and the day-to-day activities, I realized how much I really needed that time. By giving myself a little bit of time, I can be a better manager, more organized, communicate more clearly with others and come up with better ideas for my clients.

Take a little time for yourself. You will be glad you did. Even if it is only 1 day - take it, enjoy it, savor it, learn from it. Here are a few images that are inspiring me this week and helping me remember what that relaxation time was all about.
