Every Little Wonder

Have you seen the Dear Sugar advice column at The Rumpus yet? If not, go! Read! Now.

The column is beautifully written and there are countless quotable lines, but one recent line from this response has been banging around in my head since I read it:

be your best, most gigantic self

That’s it, isn’t it? The thing to aspire to? The way to get through the ups and downs of life with your dignity intact?

I’ve been such a ball of stress lately and stress turns me into a small, fighty person. Not good for me. Double not good for the poor, unfortunate soul who has to put up with me every single day.

So I made this little image and I have it hanging above my desk now. Because I can be so much better than this.

I just need a reminder sometimes.

Today, we’ve got pretty ladies. Because pretty ladies are pretty, right?

This is bit like yesterday’s list of non-cheesy inspirational prints, only minus the inspiration part, I guess. I really like art with words for some reason. Probably because I’m awesome.

It’s day 2 of wandering forlornly around the internet in search of awesome, affordable art for my poor, sad walls. Today I’ve got some inspiring-but-not-in-a-cheesy-way prints to give you a pick-me-up or a kick-in-the-pants.

I’ve got some extra money burning a hole in my pocket and a crazy urge to fill my boring white apartment walls with art, so I’m hereby declaring it ART WEEK OMG! on my little blog. Because I’ve got nothing better to do all day than scour the internet looking for new art. Don’t tell my employer that.

Today I’ve got some fabulous animal creatures I’m loving. Just for you! Lucky you!

I have two new frames that need to be filled, a tiny budget to work with, and a boyfriend who won’t let me get away with anything too frilly or girly… no problem, right?
