{go on, just admit it}

Set of Prints - Affirmations
Affirmations
set of three prints available here*

"Every day when you wake up, ask yourself, 'What do I really, really, really want?'  
You have to say really, really, really, otherwise you won't believe it." 
                                        (Elizabeth Gilbert)

When I find myself thinking about the things that I really want, and I mean passionately, truly want, there's an inner dialogue that rings a warning bell.  It tells me be careful of dreaming too big, wanting too much.  It tells me that it's dangerous to want things so badly it hurts, to wish for my deepest desires.  Oh yes, I'm a cautious dreamer at heart.  I talk about trusting the universe, but I try to keep my hope in check, to not ask for too much, so as not to be disappointed.

As I'm slowly growing into my new skin these limiting beliefs are no longer working for me.  I want to embrace a world of possibility, to lean in and say yes please to opportunity beyond my wildest imaginings, to know that there's more than enough magic if I open myself to the gifts the universe has to offer.

You know what? I really, really, really want to be a successful artist.

There, I said it. 

*******************************************

*'grow', 'shine' and 'surrender' are now available as individual prints in my Etsy shop.  Even better, I've also put them together as a special package - you get the full set of 3 prints for the price of two.

I'm also adding some photos to the shop of framed prints, so you can get an idea of how they look framed.  I'm more than a little bit chuffed with the results.

Shine

Have a lovely weekend peeps.  What are you up to?

  3. Well done on putting it out there! I found since I expressed my biggest dream it has been easier and easier to put it out there. The first times the hardest and the more you say it the closer it comes. But as Sally said you already are!! Better get an even bigger dream girl!!! The affirmations look sensational framed up.
