Smashed Advice: True Nobility

It's the last day of my week long Smashed Advice series. I'm happy to finally share these pages with you and hope I've inspired you in some way. 

Day 5: True nobility

Smash Book: True Nobility

"True nobility is not about being better than anyone else: 

It is about being better than you used to be."

Dr. Wayne Dyer is one of my favorite authors and this quote is from The Power of Intention. I try to live my life according to these words. I avoid competition with others and focus on self-improvement.

Can you name one thing you would like to improve about yourself? Or your scrapbooking? ~Danielle

Smashed Advice: Quiet

All things are connected. We covered that yesterday. Today, we focus on the importance of quiet time.

Day 2: Quiet

Smash Book: Quiet

"Empty your mind of everything. Let the mind rest at peace. The ten thousand things rise and fall while The self watches their return."

Those are only a few lines I quoted from Lao Tzu and a great reminder to stop and simply be.

How do you make time for quiet moments? Do you wish you had more of them? ~Danielle

Smashed Advice: All Things Are Connected

Catching up. That is what this week's blog series is all about. For five days, I will be sharing the Smash Book pages I created last summer during Lain Ehmann's Your Story Matters (YSM) class. (Yes, I'm about eight months late!)

My Smash Book is dedicated to my daughters and will be packed full of advice and other important tidbits. The pages you'll see this week feature an assortment of photos, embellishments and paper from my stash.  Many of these items have been overlooked...or waiting for the perfect scrapbook page. Sometimes, you just have to let go and tell a story.

Day 1: All things are connected

Smash Book: All Things Are Connected

 

The quote is by Chief Seattle and one that is meaningful to our future:

"All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth."

How do you feel about the quote above? Do you think it can relate to scrapbooking? ~Danielle
