Five Things.
In one of my past not too distant five things post, i mentioned some books i'm reading. on a journey to try to choose to read uplifting material for a while instead i've strayed away from those books and stuck to some other kinds. However, those are still fun books! i mentioned how i've been finding all my new reads at savers. i've been reading about five different books, about a chapter from each since most are small devotionals. I want to start my day out right, so that my work is starting every morning with a fresh and positive outlook! (i mean who doesn't their photographer editing their photos while they're happy?!) I've come across a few that have been just okay, and then this one. "Promises of Hope for Women."

what i like is, short but meaningful chapters that encourage me everyday. although i admit, i picked it up for the look of it.. judging its book by its cover.. whoops!

I realized i haven't shared a song i think is nothing less than beautiful. It's one that i can repeat over and over and whether i'm in a happy or sad place, it'll get emotions flowing. Hit play and listen while you're reading through the rest of the post.. PERFECT.

A product i have been looking for, finally found! i spend most of days that i have less stuff to edit doing research. Whether it be to better my business plans, better my editing, or finding new products and places to find inspiration, i came across the frames i was looking for! I had some available similar to this for a while, but only came in baby colors. and now TONS of colors. 50-some! The Organic Bloom has some beautiful products, and if you're wanting one (or a few!) let me know! they're now available.

Another fun product i've been looking for is a folded Luxe card for Christmas cards, birth announcements, and engagements too! or even a flat card!

ask me about this new product, the folded card starts at $60 for 30 cards, with envelopes and including the design too. love these!

Or if you want the flat luxe cards, you can do these starting at $52 for 30, double sided, including envelopes too.
i adore these products, making a card (Christmas is right around the corner..) a little more fun!

I'd also love to hear how you stay encouraged every morning before work, i'm guessing lots of coffee is sometimes involved :) Do you find times to read before you start your day? Another might be working out.. i do this mid day.. there's no way results would happen for me in the morning.
