The Nominees Are....Things that Move Me

Because I like to write and read, I am constantly on the look out for things that move me. It could be a song lyric, a movie quote or just something I read that resonates with me. I could very easily make this an ongoing feature but some of my very favorites:

You were wrong about the world, and you were wrong about me. –Rapunzel

How can you not take this to heart? It is powerful to hear when you need some motivation or inspiration to remind yourself why you do what you do. 

This phrase comes up every time my alarm goes off in the morning. It inspires me to think-Yes, I can do this!! 

Because that is what everyone is really looking for: to be validated, appreciated, heard. To be raised up by their interactions, and not put down. 

I was on the treadmill at the gym and this was in Oprah's magazine in her commentary. I swear to you that I almost fell off. It came at a time when I really needed it, I needed to read these words and it started the thought process that what I was doing professionally was not working anymore and some major changes needed to be made.  

What moves you?

The Nominees are-Best Administrative Week Gifts

I used to get really mad when people used to not treat me as nice as they should because I was the receptionist at the radio station. Like most people in that gatekeeping position, there was more that met the eye as to what my job responsibilities were. In fact, the only time that I fully embraced my administrative duties was that week in April that I was celebrated. This week Administrative Week is April 22-28. You could get the standard old boring flowers (yawn)...or a gas card (timely) or take them out to lunch-but if it was me, I would want some cool accessories to make my work time more productive. Being that my administrative assistants could care less (see photo), I may just treat myself to some of these goodies. 

See Jane Work is a fun trendy place to get your office supplies and they do carry some of her stuff at Office Depot. Although, online is best! Some of my favorites! 

Bamboo Dry Erase Board

Skyline Desktop Organizer

Pink Blotter

Sorting with Style is my other favorite. 

There is not a thing on here that I wouldn't buy, very dangerous indeed.
