::: A little bit of this + that to kick off your weekend inspiration :::

‘Romantic Self-Aggrandizement + Other Paranormal Affects Writing Has On My Psyche‘ [By Max Dubinsky]. Favourite Line: ”The difference between a good writer + a great writer is the difference between writing because you think you have something to say, or writing because you have a story to tell.” BOOM.!

Overnight Oats. Made this for breaky through the week. Deeeeeelicious + so easy to make!

Pardon Me (Go Periscope Remix) by He Is We. Current ‘on repeat’ tune.

Great Podcasts for Writers + Authors, from Book Cover Cafe.

Barbie’s New YouTube Reality TV Show (You’ll enjoy it more than you want too… hehe).

Morning Thoughts [“A collection of morning thoughts + ramblings. A place where gold + breakfast cereal meet.”]

And as you enter this weekend, ponder this from Cory Booker (Newark Mayor, USA):

“You were not born to be average, normal or typical
You were not born a carbon copy.
You were born unique, born to excel, born to manifest the glory of the universe in your authentic truth.
You are not weak.
You are stronger than you imagine, wiser than you know, and have vast powers that you have yet to actualize.
Stop playing small.
Be YOU. Tell your truth – now, today, this very moment.
Manifest your true self – not a poor reflection of your circumstance.
Don’t walk through this world unconscious of your greatness, sleep walking, surrendering your light to the bland grey around you.
You were born to be brilliant,
To be light,
To be fire.
Infuse your glory into this moment, into your choices, into your deeds, into the habits you create.
Consciously choose.
Choose your body through conscious consumption,
Choose your attitude, through conscious thought
Choose your destiny by being present right now – for remember: Mindful moments multiplied, totally transform tomorrows
Today choose integrity, choose discipline, choose joy, choose joy, choose joy.
Rejoice in your blessings AND, most importantly, know that EVERYTHING is a blessing.
And your blessings are rich soil.
So choose to grow into the boldest, proudest, most glorious version of YOU.
You were born for this.”

Have a wonderful + enriching weekend, lovely people! Bethany, x
