Happy Monday! I hope you all had a less stressful weekend than I did. Mine started with my laptop dying Friday night. I spent the weekend trying to get it working again and get files off of it. I was only halfway successful. I have someone who will be getting the rest of the files off it for me but I did have to go ahead and order a new laptop. It could be worse and I at least have a desktop I can halfway use until I get back in business. I feel totally lost and inefficient on my desktop and I am seriously missing Microsoft Outlook.
Regardless of how out of sorts I feel without my laptop, the world must go on and Monday is just another day! Let’s find and share some motivation this week. My thought / quote for the week is “Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.” - Dorothy Thompson I really believe that fear can be our biggest enemy in the battle to reach our dreams and goals. The great thing though is that we can choose whether to be afraid or not, it is all in the power of our mind. This week let’s step out of our comfort zones, let’s conquer those fears that are holding us back and really start living the life we dream about and deserve!
Now it’s time to share and find some motivation and inspiration for our week ahead! Please feel free to add your family friendly posts to the linky below! Anything motivating, inspiring, household tip, recipe, craft or diy idea. Anything family friendly, but no giveaways, coupons or deals please.
PLEASE DON’T link & run. Please visit a few other sites that linked up and comment or share their posts too. We can all encourage and help each other succeed.
The linky will be open until Friday night. I look forward to seeing your posts that you link up below & I will try to share as many of them as I can on Twitter too!
*While not required, I would appreciate if you would include the button or a text link back to this post in your post that you link up and/or if you would share this link up on your social media sites. Please use #motivatingmonday when tweeting. Thank you!

Happy Monday to you too! I am glad you were able to get your files off. A few years back, our power went out during a wind storm (for 10 days!) and my computer was on when it happened… it totally fried everything and I was unable to get pictures and files off. Needless to say, I learned my lesson and now have several “places” I store my pictures.

Thanks Julia! Yes I am definitely looking at other ways to back up and pictures especially! Funny thing is I have an external hard drive and went to back up about 2 weeks ago and it had completely died too! So that did me no good at all… I’m looking at online backups and will also probably start copying pictures to dvd’s… Most of my pics are up on Facebook or on my blog too at least should I have not been able to recover the files… Hope you have a great week!
