It’s Monday, a day to start fresh and forget about all the beer you consumed this weekend and what you might have done with the cute girl in the blue dress because of it. It’s in the past!

Now is the time to have a marvelous week everyone, and to make it count! Swing on some swings, make a fantastic dinner, write a long lost friend a letter (with pen and paper if you can handle it), go to the beach, ride a bike, kiss someone you’ve always wanted to kiss. The possibilities are endless!

I’ll be going for drinks, sitting in on union meetings, going to book talks, eating great sandwiches, and planning for Copenhagen/Stockholm…woo, the days are just packed!

What are you really looking forward to doing this week my fellow earthlings?

Monday Monday, so good to me…

This is how I am choosing to see Mondays, nevermind the other lyrics in the song. I definitely think that if people started changing their outlooks and trying to embrace Mondays and what they could possibly stand for, the whole work week would seem a whole lot less dreary.

And what could Mondays stand for? Life changing, earth shattering happiness! Chances to make everything you want to happen happen, at least for a week.

You could …

· Plan a wonderful picnic in the park complete with something fruity and bubbly.
· Spruce up your resume and start going for your dream career.
· Learn to make a dish Chef Gordon Ramsey would love..or yell at you over, who cares as long as you love it?!
· Have an inspirational movie marathon and take what you want, leave what you don’t.
· Grab a bike and explore the knooks, crannies and allyways that usually go unnoticed.
· Be a badass!

What are you going to do this week that would make life wonderful?

This week is a week for progress and life changing decisions, or at least it could be.

Maybe you want to go to grad school and come out a super genius? Create the biggest boldest piece of street art the world has ever seen? Open corner spot that sells nothing flavored milk and fancy pb&j sandwiches? Go for it!

Always remember that you are the only one who can change your life and live your dream my darlings. We all have the ability to manifest our own destinies and to make things happen. Share your ideas and take initiative. Don’t sit around waiting for other people to do things. Don’t wait for someone to be as amazing as you, it won’t happen!

I’ve been down about my career life as of late, so I have started trying to branch out and do it to it. I’m getting involved with the union and letting my ideas be heard and I by golly I do believe it’s working.

Listen to this song, feel empowered and go out and have a great week everyone!

“He was waiting for a long procession of protesters – both pro and anti-choice – to pass. Until then, he had no business as he couldn’t navigate his bike through the crowd.”

It’s a brand new week my fellow citizens and a second chance to make life absolutely amazing. Make it work. ♥

Welcome to Monday darlings! Time to set your sites on getting things done and making life happen until next weekend. What’s on your tray for this week? Tuning up your bike? Writing that big story for your agency? Planning a marvelous dinner party for 8?

Me? I’m going to figure out how to keep a fiance with a broken leg entertained for 5 weeks. I will be coming up with 5 weekends worth of broken bone friendly dates, all involving a lot of sitting still, flat land, taxi cabs, and of course at least a moderate amount of good times.

And you darlin’, whatever you’re planning on getting yourself into I hope it’s great and that this week turns out to be the best week ever!

“We’re crazy about this city. First time we came here, we walked the streets all day, all over town and nobody hassled us. People smiled, friendly-like, and we knew we could live here. We’d like to keep our place in Greenwich Village and have an apartment here, God and the Immigration Service willing. Los Angeles? That’s just a big parking lot where you buy a hamburger for the trip to San Francisco.” – John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Welcome to Monday lovlies, time to start anew! What are you going to do this week? Revamping your bedroom, gonna give it that modern flair? Maybe you’re going to take a break and just hang out in Dolores park with a good book, couple of magazines and a great sandwich from Ike’s Place?

Me, I am going to switch up my work area and make it somewhere I can actually get things done. Lately it’s been a catchall for everything under the sun; magazines, collages, books, hats, bags. Absolutely no work is getting done there. So that’s my big project for the week.

And you? If you could get anything done this week, what would it be? Why not get out there and do it and have the best week ever?
