Power of Positive Thinking
Months ago I read a great post from CrazyMama where she talked about the words in her home. I loved the post and haven't forgotten about it. I'm finally taking the time to feature the words in my home.
"Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections."
Years ago, when I was in my "self-discovery" phase I read my Self-Confidence Formula and my Creed for Self-Discipline out loud daily. (No, I'm not kidding. ha ha) I can't help but laugh remembering those days. They were filled with self-doubt, a lot of anger, and concern for the future. That time in my life was dark but completely necessary.
"Today's test is tomorrow's testimony."
Back in the day Dr. Phil and I were BFF's! Yet, here I am today purged of past hurts, trauma, and guilt. I relied on the Lord to help me heal and really took that time seriously. As a result I guess I've subconsciously filled my home with reminders to myself of how to live and what's important to me.
My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

"Life is what we make it. Always has been, always will be."
Thanks for sharing!
It's neat that a lot were gifts from friends. The power of words is great. Combine it with friendship and you have some very meaningful and beautiful decor. :)
oh i have "life is uncertain eat dessert first." and "we may not have it all together but together we have it all." 'quityerbellachin'. i need to hang up all my signs! love them.
i love words too.
I am hooked on those wooden word plaques - have them all over my house - family, pray, dream, create, inspire, ART, Paris, and London.
I've also been creating word things with my cricut machine - love that machine!
Hope you have a great week.
I have a sign that is over my door It says " Return with Honor".
Haha... I use to be that bad, but I've gotten to be a better reader as of lately.
Love all the signs in your house... I've got one about remembering the small things in life - that I love - but I obviously don't read it enough beacause it's been there for 2 years, and I still don't have it memorized!!
And I love that a lot of them are ones you made or received... very cool and helps you remember not only the saying but the person who gave it to you too.
Are you constantly being critiqued by your kids? I am. {{shrug}}
