  1. I have a working post right now about compassion. I am working on this in my life right now. I am a teacher and I find that it is easy for me to show compassion to strangers, but when it comes to my family it is harder, because I know how they were raised and I know their backgrounds. Sometimes I feel that there is no reason why they should act tacky or hateful because they know better. I am trying to better that.

    • I’ve been thinking about writing one, too. I struggle at work with the office gossip. Where is the line between being catty and being a friend? And who am I to think that I know these people and everything they’ve gone through. Looking forward to your post!

  2. Love the quote! I keep a journal of all my favorite quotes and this has been added (along with the one from last week).

    • A quote journal is such a good idea. A great way to keep things in perspective when life is rough. :)

  3. You know how Craig set up an Etsy for his photographs? I think you should set up an Etsy for prints of your Monday Motivations. I am sending this to the print shop today to be printed… I’ll e-mail you a pic of how it turned out so you can see what a worthwhile venture it would be :)

    • Wow, that is SUCH a great idea. Thanks! I’m making them anyway, might as well make some money off of ‘em right? :D
      Thanks!

  4. sound advice…

Yay! I love comments! What I don't love? Personal attacks, rudeness or general yuckiness, so keep it cool, kids. Don't see your comment immediately? That's probably 'cuz it's being held in moderation. I'll release it from jail as soon as possible. Required fields are marked *
