This Is The Year

2015 This Is The Year

Happy New Year!! I am so excited that is 2015 and the canvas is blank for the year. Last year I was inspired by the atelier to create a “this is your year” post. I am still so in love with all of the quotes from 2014, but these were a few of my favorites .

 

To Dream – “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream” – C.S. Lewis

 

To Be Confident – ” Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud.”

 

To Celebrate – ” I eat cake because its’ somebody’s birthday somewhere”

 

To Be Peaceful – ” God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.” – C.S. Lewis

 

To Be You – “She’s a mess of gorgeous chaos, and you can see it in her eyes…”

 
This year, I picked only 4 simple quotes:
 

To Be Adventurous (Brave) – “…and so the adventure begins.”

 

To Be Better – “We are not perfect human beings, nor do we have to pretend to be, but it is necessary for us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.”

 

To Be Happy – “Its okay to be happy with a simple life”

 

To Be Kind – “Throw kindness around like confetti”

Christmas morning? Cozy.

School drop-off? Still cozy.

Holiday travel? Cozy.

Running errands? You guessed it… cozy.

Movie night? EXTRA cozy.

I found so many good pieces to mix, match, and layer. Plus, the prices make it way too easy to leave with a full bag.
