This bit of inspiration comes straight outta Instagram via Iman. If you don't know who she is Google her as I am not writing her bio for you.
She does these quote posts titled: #ImanDaily and they are all designed to help one forge a life path for the day, week or ever.
This one resonates with moi thus I decided to share it.
You're welcome. That's all...

"When I wake up in my makeup, It's too early for that..."
Wait, it isn't too early for that I've changed my mind. You see I just woke up and I've changed a few times since then.
This is one of my favorite quotes from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. The book, which is not to be, nor should ever be confused with the many adaptations to TV and Film that have been done.
Ooooops! I did it again, I just changed since I wrote that last sentence.
Here is comes again, another one bites the dust, yep I changed yet again.
And the world keeps turning...

| Sutton Stracke |
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans know this is Sutton Stracke's go to quote when unlike Baby she is put in a corner.
Thus when I saw this meme of Sutton with her infamous "Name 'Em" defense mechanism quote behind her in pink neon,well I knew it was bound to be featured on Entertain Me.
Now here's the real trick to bending Sutton's trademark quote like Ms. Stracke herself. You must repeat it over and over as many times as you can possibly insert it into the conversation you are having where you are deflecting from yourself.
I believe Sutton's personal record (on the show, perhps not IRL) is five or six times in one continuous loop.
"Yes" it's as obnoxious as it sounds and, well we wouldn't have our Lady of Stracke any other way!
Now pull yourself up by your panties or briefs and sally fourth playing the name game today!
Be your own Sutton Minions!!!

Here's some Monday Motivation wisdom via Oscar Winner Jamie Lee Curtis' mouth. This is something I'm not sure you really grasp until a certain age. It's not something I think you could wrap your head around without a certain amount of years lived.
But if you do understand this completely and are under fifty, congratulations!!!
Personally it is my capacity to change that has given me tremendous happiness as well. It does make one more content to just be and flow with the world around themselves. I can be happy watching TV, Eating at my favorite local restaurant or experiencing what is happening around me in the moment.
Remember change and flow are essential and nothing to be afraid of. Adapt to your personal journey in life, relax and go with where it takes you. The rewards will be great!
Monday Motivation indeed!!!

Love her or hate her Taylor Swift is a talented young woman. She also gave my favorite Monday Motivation this week.
This is something I learned a long time ago and it is quite a powerful place to be. Once I understood Ms. Swift's comment I found easy to dismiss anything negative stated about me by a casual observer.
Recently I encountered some harassment along these lines of a certain someone who kept telling me a basic bold faced lie about who I was. I finally said to them: "What you say to me doesn't bother me because I know it isn't true. It's the fact that you keep saying it that's annoying me."
Succinct to the point and really what was being said wasn't the problem because I am confident and secure in myself, it was the repetitive factor, I was bored hearing it over and over every chance this individual got.
Thus this Monday and times infinity I be on Team Taylor & Michael - trust me, it's a winning one!

It's the first day of the work week again, time for some Monday Motivation Minions (say that three times fast.)
This particular quote straight outta Blake Lively is something I've been putting into action for a while now. If for some reason my day starts to go off the rails I stop, take a deep breath and say a variation of what she says, but essentially the same thing.
Guess What?!?! It works, you can change your mindset with a simple choice. "Yes" it really is that easy.
Thus the collective mission of all of you is to make Monday August 21, 2023 one of the many best days of your life.
Bend it like Blake and Me!

No pretending anymore, it's time to take a risk and potentially embarrass yourself.
Taking risks is one of the keys to life I have learned of late, not pretending is a road to happiness.
Monday Motivation indeed.
Bend it like Drew (and yours truly.)

This Monday Motivation quote rings true especially for me of late. I have learned that you need to trust that people can deal with uncomfortable truths about you and still stick around because they know the best of you.
That has been the best gift that has been given to me. I always felt if you told people the darker things they would run the other way. Not so, the individuals I opened up to surprised me and stuck around and supported me. It even made me closer with one of them.
Why? Because the best of me is worth it and so am I and so are you!!!
Take this with you into the week, trust me people aren't as fragile as you think and know what a great person you are even when you stumble or misbehave, it happens to all of us.

Love this quote from Albert Einstein, it sums up how I am about the world around me: "Passionately Curious."
It's what drives me to engage with everything that surrounds me, my curiosity is one of my main life forces.
Thus your Monday Motivation assignment is to be "Passionately Curious" like yours truly.
It's an amazing way to absorb and process everything you encounter throughout the day, trust me and enjoy your Monday!
