After spending a week languishing with the flu and feeling anything but awesome, this post over at Yes and Yes was a lovely boost!

It’s OK to be awesome.
In fact, it’s preferable. Highly-recommended. Perfect 10s across the board.
It’s OK to be the smartest, the cutest, the sassiest, the brassiest, the best-dressed, the most well-versed AND the most ambitious person in the room.
It’s OK to have dreams that make no sense to the casual observer — and to actualize them.
It’s OK to kick everything to the curb and start from scratch.
It’s OK to be a supernova.

There's more ... and its awesome.  Read it!

Pie

I feel particularly inspired by this post by Andrea at ABC Creativity.

do not compete for tiny little slivers of pie

it’s a stupid thing to do because really, we are tripping over pies.  there is pie everywhere.  plenty of pie for everyone.

you have creative genius within you.  genius.

you can be so creative about your career.  about money.  about creating every aspect of your life the way you want to create it.

looking at others as competition and comparing and being competitive takes energy away from your ability to create magic in your life.  it also makes you small.

Read the rest - its great I promise!!
