Sunday Starter : Inspiration Board Makeover - The Before

So with the festive season almost just a memory, it's time to get down to achieving those new year resolutions goals. We all have them (well, most of us) but not many of us actually do anything about it. What I have found to work best in achieving my goals, is having a constant reminder of them - aka an inspiration board! 

Unfortunately, right now my inspiration board isn't looking very inspirational (See below).

Yes, this is mine. Sigh.

So over the next week my project will be to convert this drab, cluttered and uninspiring board into an organised, creative and colourful "my-ideal-life/goals-for-2013" inspiration board. To get me inspired , here are my top 5 (in no particular order) inspiration board picks found on the internet and why I love them.

Mind my drawing...

One of my drawings in a notebook. It's really old but still a favorite.

Drawing gives my mind a sense of freedom that it craves - a stress relief of sorts; a journey into a place I am often scared to explore but when I do, even I am surprised. I find abstract images floating around, trying to find a matching piece - a puzzle I tell you. 

After all...

F is for... Fancy Dress Party.

In Attendence: Katy Perry, Posh Spice & Lady Gaga (that's me!)

One of the most nerve-wrecking feelings one can have is on the way to a fancy dress party, wondering if it is actually a fancy dress event!

D is for..... all those who dream big!

Everyday I hear people complaining about how sad their life is, how they wish they could achieve more, "if only they had the chance before" or most commonly, the "I'm just not lucky enough" line. Try then explaining to them what the reason could possibly be for this misery of theirs, and the first reply you'll get: "You think I don't know that?"

Yes, we all know the story that in order "to get it, you got to dream it" but dreaming isn't enough. It is just the first step. Believing in that dream and seeing it through to reality is where all the work lies and quite frankly, in this day and age there aren't many that actually make it to this stage. People know about dreaming but knowing doesn't necessarily mean understanding. 

Having recently read a blog post by Melissa McCreery entitled "Are You Dreaming Big Enough?", I thought it was only right to share it. Here's a snippet of what she had to say:

Here’s what I know: 

1. The bigger we allow ourselves to dream, the more we accomplish and the more we start to see what is possible. 

2. We don’t have to be any more amazing than we already are to do amazing things. 

3. We don’t have to know exactly how we are going to make our dream come true in order to start pursuing it. But we do need to HAVE the dream. We do need to have a clear intention that we’re going to do whatever-it-is and we do have to create space in our life for our dreams to emerge.

4. Big dreams usually don’t require immediate big steps. Small, steady, consistent steps tend to create the most solid and enduring results.

Go ahead, Dream Big! but don't forget to start taking those small steps right after.

The Difference Between "A Couple" and "Just Friends"...

"It is the distance between us that makes a difference"

Bring back the polaroid.

There's just something about it. The white border? The spontaneity that it captures? The instantaneous development?

Captured this in a restaurant a while back. Love!

I love polaroids! They always seem to make the moment it captured even more fun.
