Words Of Inspiration: Book Project


Throughout the last six months I have been writing down a lot of words of inspiration.  From some of those I have often completed some writing pieces.  

I had the opportunity of meeting this women who happened to notice that I enjoyed making vision boards and writing.  She showed me this book of inspirational quotes she started about ten years ago.  She said she had this notebook with her and every time she would hear things that struck a cord with her, she would jot it down.  If she came across a picture or a quote in a magazine she would tape/glue it in the notebook.  She still keeps the notebook in her pocketbook.  Throughout the day she randomly opens it and without fail, the page she goes to always matches up with how she is feeling and/or is what she needed to read at that very moment.

I decided to take her idea and do the same.  I had already been writing down words of inspiration, why not have them in one place.  Why not use it as a grounding tool?  Why not use as a preventative tool?  Something to help keep my anxiety level down.  Anything that can or will work, I will do, I will try.  

There are so many beautiful things we hear from people all of the time and to capture it and not forget is a reward in itself.

I picked up a small 5x7 journal at a local store, cut out a few quotes from some magazines, glued down and covered with mod podge.  Keep in your bag, when you hear something, write it down (or cut it out and glue it to the page), add a thought to it, and date it!
