Quote of the day

Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.
~Aristotle

Plans

I will be traveling abroad next year...

Here's a couple things I will NOT be doing, as interesting as they look.



Hard to imagine that I won't do that, huh?

Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy.

Planning? What's that?

Small indicators

I think there is just a tiny little insignificant reason that it might be suspicious.

Our Deepest Fear

found at Wasserspiegel

I came across this quote again just the other day. I've come across it a couple of times before. Before I had my blog. It struck me again, as it has before, and I wanted to share these words that can be powerful if allowed into the corners of our hearts.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson

I saw this cool costume idea, which I'm so going to do next year:

discovered at kindacarsick

Get it? She went as low resolution


Then I saw this very cool idea for low cost but perhaps stressful art:

discovered at re-nest

Isn't that awesome?


Then... I saw this nifty little tool that may take that aforementioned stress out of the occasion. Now this tool is designed for sticky notes, but I don't see why it couldn't be used allowing for a little ingenuity and adaptability.

Here's another one... with the basic DIY instructions here:


So now my hunt is on for the perfect picture to make a low res picture of my own.
