Leave it to Oprah to give the most inspirational quote to start the week.
– Create the grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe.-
What a great reminder to dream a little bigger and work towards goals that seem just out of reach. This week is about grander thinking.
Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!
A few wise words to start the week.
-Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. – Buddha –
What a great reminder that each day is a new day to be your best and work your hardest. It can be so easy to reflect on the past or spend too much time planing what lies ahead. Sometimes it’s important to just focus on the here and now and accomplishing your goals for the day.
Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!
Getting up and out on a Monday morning is certainly not always easy. While a song or a quote can offer a bit of inspiration, occasionally the cozy bed covers just pull us right back in. Coffee is a necessity each morning, but more and more I find myself looking forward to starting the day in a little café.
One thing I will truly miss about living in Korea is the plethora of individually owned coffee shops throughout the country. While chains are frequent, even more so are distinct and sweet cafés owned by locals. Something about the idea of sitting in a charming coffee shop offers an incentive for getting right to work. I find myself happy to spend a quiet Monday morning or Saturday afternoon in a shop writing and researching online while sipping on an iced Americano. Particularly if that café doubles as a flower shop.

Yikes! Six weeks since my last post?! Ohh but what a six weeks it’s been. I spent a weekend in Japan, took a week off in Bali, and had family in town to visit. It’s been wonderful, but unfortunately blogging couldn’t be towards the top of the priority list.
So here we are, back in Korea, Monday morning yet again. I’m sitting in one of my favorite cafés, which doubles as a flower shop, sipping an iced Americano, watching the sweet workers process this week’s flowers, and trying to get back into productive life and out of vacation mode.
Today’s Monday motivation is a bit of an older inspiration, nonetheless it still gets me up and out.
Months after first hearing it, I’m still absolutely in love with this song, Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya. I love the empowering sentiment of doing anything and everything you could dream up, particularly the line saying, “Oh, I don’t know what you’ve been told, but this gal right here’s gonna rule the world”. It just makes me want to wake up and get to work. Maybe you’ll find the same motivation.
Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!
While this photo was taken a while back it has everything that I try to include in my Monday mornings; beautiful flowers, fresh produce, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Hoping everyone is feeling refreshed and caffeinated this morning.
Here’s to a productive week.

A little Monday motivation to start the week.
-You get what you work for, not what you wish for.-
An important idea to remember for the week. It’s so easy to dream about what you want and to wish for things to perfectly fall into place, but to really achieve what you’re dreaming of, you have to put in the work.
Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!
