“Make it a great day!”

This is something to live by. My father first told me a story about someone he knows who uses this quote quite often. We always kind of joke around over the phone, saying this line to eachother because we’re always having some crazy kind of a day. Think about it though... it really has good meaning. 

 We both try to keep this in mind and use it all of the time now.

It’s important to make each day special, make it count, and enjoy it to the fullest!

What makes your days great? Is it a friend or family member you spend time with? A place you travel to? A hobby you have? A random person on the street that asks how you are doing? Is it a good grade in school? An accomplishment at work? There is no right or wrong answer, all that matters is how it makes you feel. If you feel it’s a great day then that’s what counts!

So keep this in mind and say it to at least one person each day, keep it going, and help everyone to “Make it a great day!” When you hear this, it encourages you to take that extra step. Appreciate each day, make it count, and make it special.

“Make a plan and make it happen.”

Set a goal, set a reasonable time frame, take baby steps to get there, and make it happen.

There are so many projects I have going on, so many things I want to do, accomplish, try out, develop, improve etc and it always feels like there is just not enough time in the day to do it all.

From Interior Design portfolios, to website updates, to setting up meetings, social media, networking, starting a couple of businesses, going to the gym, and making time for yourself… how can you fit it all into your crazy schedule? … I literally work all night answering emails while I’m in bed (crazy I know.)

It is up to you to make things happen, you have the power to make a change for yourself and it’s up to you to drive yourself in that direction and do whatever you can to move forward.

I constantly make lists, plans, sketches, you name it, and some people may think it’s crazy but it has become a part of my everyday life. I love finding inspiration, learning new things, searching for cool websites, doing the daily tear outs from my stacks of magazines, and just surrounding myself with creative, fun, inspiring ideas and people. This has become a hobby of mine and it’s motivating. Seeing these items which motivate me around me each day reminds me to work on these goals, make a change, and make things happen. It’s about dreaming and developing who you are as a person.

“You won’t find the answers by looking at the stars, it’s a journey you’ll have to take by looking inside yourself. You must find your own destiny.”- Christopher Reeve

Recently I made the decision to make a career change to further my experience and knowledge and take my design skills to the next level. With any new endeavor, there are adjustments as well as challenges and that is exactly what I have been experiencing.

My mind has been on overload and the tasks which seemed so simple before have become more than I thought at times, I could handle. Each day I have to give myself a little push and look at situations with a new perspective. I have allowed myself to overcome certain challenges and embrace this opportunity in the interior design industry which I’ve been searching for quite some time now.

Some things to keep in mind…

·                   Ask questions

·                   “Keep calm and carry on”

·                   Organize yourself

·                   Take a step back and look at the big picture.

·                   Be open-minded to learning new methods for   things which you may have been amazingly great at, which now are done differently and may have put you at the bottom of the pole. Don’t worry… it will only get better : )

Go Forward > > >

Living in NYC inspiration is all around you. From the architecture on the buildings to the people on the subway and streets, and the creativity and talent  surrounding you, this city of big dreams is what I love to be a part of.

There is always something different to look at, a new neighborhood to walk through, a favorite corner store or bakery that becomes a part of your everyday life and a fast paced environment which can make you feel crazy at times, but at the end of the day you are able to say that you’ve had a new experience!

What inspires you?
