Bullet Journals and Organization for Writers

I was pretty fed up with how 2016 turned out. I felt like I had all of these unspoken goals that I didn’t attain and if I did, I had no way of measuring it. When the New Year started I saw most of my writer friends posting that instead of having a resolution they were going to pick a word that would define their year. I couldn’t pick a word. I picked a phrase, “Be so good they can’t ignore you.”

Quotes by Michelle Matthews  (?)

“Words can be like hugs or like arrows. It’s up to us how we use them. Next time you talk, think about what you’re really saying. Choose compassion, empathy, understanding – it’ll change everything. Choose your words wisely.”
Michelle Matthews, How to Understand Others Better : Getting Curious About Human Nature and Fine-Tuning Your Ability to Read People Like a Book

“Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.”
Michelle Matthews, How to Understand Others Better : Getting Curious About Human Nature and Fine-Tuning Your Ability to Read People Like a Book

“Viktor Frankl once said, “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Let’s honour that space. Let’s embrace it as a sacred pause where wisdom, compassion and strength reside. It’s in that breath between someone’s thoughtless comment and your response where you find your power. It’s about choosing courage over comfort, leaning into that pause and taking ownership of your reactions.”
Michelle Matthews, How to Understand Others Better : Getting Curious About Human Nature and Fine-Tuning Your Ability to Read People Like a Book

“Write the book you want to read, the one you cannot find.”
Carol Shields

“You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times.
There's life in a nutshell.”
Bear Grylls, Mud, Sweat and Tears

“No matter how nice the place is where you live, you need to experience life and the world.”
Terri Irwin, MY STEVE
