Words to Inspire

How goes it with you?
I am in quite a reflective mood today. I am in this mood quite a lot actually, I am a very self-reflective and evaluative person. It is both a weakness and a strength, mostly a strength, but sometimes I wish I could be on auto-pilot and not have to process every action and emotion.

It makes me very happy to go on Pinterest and gather up some inspirational words, snippets of wisdom passed from person to person as our elders would have done in the past, and something which is gaining a resurgence in modern popular culture - the quote. Be it song lyric, ancient spiritual, or ancestor...there are any words out there to keep us afloat.

I find that these little chunks of worldly wisdom, scribbled into a book, journal or printed out and pinned on the wall, help to keep me grounded and focused on my goal - to be a spiritually enlightened and evolved human being.

Here are some of my favorite quote from my Pinterest board 'Inspirational Quotes', layered over some photographs my daughter and I took on a night walk at the beach. These are distant lights photographed with movement, on a evening when we were both feeling stuck, static and needed to break free and spend time with the sea and stars:

Do you have a favorite quote that brings you comfort, strength or inspiration?

Hi all.
Found this today. Simple words that mean a lot and hold me together like glue in the rough times:

via this blog but from this one in actual fact.

I am going to be awfully busy this next week so expect me not to be blogging. Lets just say it'll be a small large miracle if I do manage to squeeze out a blog. I will be taking these words with me into next week as I have a shop top-up, GCSE marking and three commissions to push though. But for now, some zeds.

What helps you get through a hectic week?

Hey! I have another quote to share with you today, and that you can share - copy and paste, send to a friend or just print off and put up in your workspace to keep you on track throughout the day. I have things like that ll over the place and they really help. I started using them when I gave up smoking. I had the amount of days/ hours etc on post it notes around the house, that I had been smoke free. I had 'you CAN do it' all over the place. So today I share this with you:

Yep, that's right.
A long time ago I banned the phrase 'I can't' in my classrooom. Like, I know things can be tough, hard, seeeeeem impossible. You may need some help, a shoulder, some cash or to learn something. But the truth is always - where there's a will, there's a way.

Happy Monday everyone :)

Hey gang!

I'm back with another inspiration poster, to keep you busy while I am away. This one is a longer quote. I have heard/ read parts of it in different places before and never knew they all linked together. Imagine being able to say all these words, right out of your mouth? Beggars belief. But thank God she did, they are some seriously good ones.



Amen to that!

As I said yesterday, feel free to save and share, print or pass on. I believe in the power of giving and sharing, of passing on our knowledge and wisdom. I try to live and breathe my spiritual beliefs. This one takes time for me to give in to it. Part of my brain resists the message. I have to work harder to achieve this. Something to aim for and to work towards is a good driving force.

Do you have any quotes that inspire you?

Hi friends...

I have been feeling all serene and lovely lately - I blame Yoga entirely for this. I went this evening and it makes me feel so happy, calm in mind and body and uplifted and energised spiritually. I have been looking for ages for a Yoga class that is really great and I finally have. This is a big thing in my life, otherwise I wouldn't mention it here. I used to go to an amazing Yoga Institute in South London when I was a student there. I had this amazingly kind but brutal teacher Glynnis who would shuffle and poke you around like a piece of clay - but when she was done, I felt amazingly aligned an in the best version of each pose. She always made tea and biscuit after, and sometimes used to feed my (obviously starving face) veggie curry that she had made for her dinner. Bless. I feel so blessed to have met her, she was such a lovely woman.

In the spirit of all that is spirit, I have been making some little inspiration posters to put up on my blog from time to time and you can save and print off if you like them too. I'll share them out over a period of time, cos, you know...you know, I'm lazy like that.

We actually ARE stardust. When I found this out I did a proper 'Whoa!'.

This phrase goes around in my head all the time. I love it.

If you like it too you can right click and save it - print it or whatever. It is my image, I designed it. So I can say that with gay abandon.

I am off on a school jolly tomorrow to the Olympic Village in Stratford, London. It will be fun and I'll make sure I snap away ready to share when I return. I'll probably be tweeting like a liddle birdie, so follow me if you want to @nicola_reloved

See you on the flipside x

P.s if you could keep in mind my mission below - I would be slightly in love with you :)
