Get Inspired !

I invite you to get inspired.  Recently, I have been on a kick to share some of my favorite inspirational quotes with colleagues,  friends, and family. I have a list of about 60 inspirational quotes with their author’s included with each quote. I cut them up into slips of paper that I either roll up or fold up and use them to fill up either glass jars or miniature Chinese takeout boxes (the  party favor kind).  I had either colored ribbon or pieces of chocolate in with the jar or box.  They have been well received and people find that the quote speaks right to them, myself included!

Also, for Thanksgiving and Christmas at my home, as part of doing up the table for our holiday meal, I include an inspirational quote at each place setting.  We each read our quote aloud.  It is interesting to hear all the different quotes.  Even my kids get into the meaning of each quote.  Great stuff!!!

I gathered the quotes mostly by googling inspirational quote websites and reading through all of them to find the ones that speak most to me.  Also, if I hear them along the way,  I write them down on the back page of my planner at work or in the notes section of my phone.  Then, I keep up with adding any additional quotes to my master list.

Folks receiving this unique gift always seem to appreciate it, delving right into the jar or box. And , the quotes are so inspiring to me, I have written one on each week of planner throughout 2017! I’m looking forward to each new message each week!!  Wishes for getting inspired to everyone!!
