Summer is a great time for reflection.
As you lie on the beach or by the pool
we make all kinds of promises to ourself
of how things will be different once the
holidays are over.
We get back to the routine and we forget that we can
decide what kind of life we want to have, we don't have
to just lead a "reactive life".
to just lead a "reactive life".
We are the ONLY ones who can decide.
We just can't wait around for things to happen.
We need to take "inspired action" to make things happen;
not just "busying" so that it looks like we are doing
something. You know what I mean Lovelies ;-)
(I am great at "busyness" that doesn't achieve
much ;-)
So no more excuses baby.................lets do this
I just couldn't resist this cutie. Check out her arm candy ;-) |
OK, talking of arm candy, this wrap bracelet is new
in this week with colors depicting the stormy seas of the
Mediterranean. It really is gorgeous (I prefer it to Mia 1
which was the summer version) as I think it will take you
from summer to winter with no problems.

DeleteWise advice sweety, we can't wait for things to happen - I agree, we need to sit up, wake up and make them happen ourselves. This is something we all need to remember. Beautiful bracelet!
ReplyDeleteYou got it Sam!
DeleteSO true! We can design our lives the way we want them (within reason, of course).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bracelet....it does remind me of the Mediterranean.

I just love your philosophy, Vannessa! I've been trying to follow the same approach lately, taking action instead of only talking about dreams and plans. And it feels so great :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE all these pictures, they are just so me...I mean, pink and macarons? That's all me :)
Hope you're having a lovely weekend so far, my dear friend!

Thank you so much Ivana xx
DeleteYour images are so lovely and your words resonant with me today. After 7 weeks off for summer I'm back to my regular work schedule as a School Psychologist this week. We make such wonderful goals while day dreaming and relaxing in the heat of summer. Now to turn those dreams into action. I'm onboard!
ReplyDeleteI also want to thank you for your lovely, supportive words on Stylemindchic today. Your depth and kindness are very much appreciated. By the way, your jewelry is stunning.
Wishing you a gorgeous weekend my lovely friend!
xx, Heather @ Stylemindchic
Thank you so much Heather. So pleased to have found your wonderful blog and to have found another psychologist in blogland ;-)
DeleteThe bracelet is gorgeous Vanessa! And yes, I completely agree with you about needing to take "inspired action" to make things happen and not just "busying" so that it looks like we are doing something which I am quite guilt of doing on occasion. Quality of life begins with how we use the time that we have.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great summer in London! xoxo
Thank you Reese for your lovely comments Sweets xx
DeleteGorgeous images especially the purples in the Ladurée photo. The bracelet is lovely - pretty colour combination. Your words are so true - great advice!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring... We need to fight for what we want!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I love clicking on your kick-ass posts that make me want to get up and get stuff done! Luckily, I am in the middle of a huge life change so I am making stuff happen! Just need to keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind visit, wish you well for the rest of the week! Please do let me know if you end up going to the coast store, would love to hear about it.
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late getting here! I've been traveling and sometimes I don't have internet access:) ANYWAY.. YES! I do know what you mean. It's easy to maintain where we're at and not move forward. I'm a list maker in hopes of accomplishing things on my days off. We also need to focus on doing things to better ourselves on an emotional level. That could be yoga, running, blogging, learning a new language, read a new book.. starting something new.
Happy Monday!
Vanessa, another absolutely delectable post! Candy for the eye... and the soul! I so appreciate the beauty you put out into 'this' world!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for mentioning that my link didn't work... who knows if I would have ever noticed... many thanks!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your fashion opinions with me. I also feel like I've outgrown the teen styles.
ReplyDeleteWow, I loved this post!I was just discussing with my friend about how we make promises and goals, and never follow through because we get so busy and caught up with lives. I definitely needed to hear this to motivate me again. Going to share this with my friend as well :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you stop by my blog as well :)

Trying to stop being passive and never really getting anywhere is something I am working on changing. After some reflecting I think I have decided that I need to start making some changes and just figuring it out as I go.
