The Secret

Remember that failure is an event, not a person

~ Zig Ziglar

One of my favourite bloggers/inspirational people is Chris Brogan and when I read this quote I was reminded of something I read when I thought I was not making progress as I wanted too. Chris said if things are not going as you want it too, re-evaluate what you are doing. Make a new goal. I didn’t change my goal, but I decided to change my approach. I decided to make my goal more visual.

His second piece of advice was, help others. I do that indirectly with my blogging. Sure, not in a RL way, but the other day someone on my timeline on Facebook commented that bloggers get angry that they are being “copied” by other people. It made me laugh out loud, because what is the point of being a fashion blogger then? Isn’t it so that you can show people a style for them to go buy the product and wear it too? If I see someone copy me, I feel flattered. Someone actually liked the way I styled enough to want to look exactly like me. It would make me feel so accomplished.  I will always encourage people and help them where I can. Even if it sometimes mean that they turn out to be a more accomplished blogger! I love seeing people happy.

Then his last piece of advice, take action every day! Do something every day to achieve your goal. My goal is huge passion, so this is the easy part. Learning a new skill, looking for something different, looking for inspiration.

So if at first you don’t succeed.. remember, that failure is an event, not a person.

On my mind

I want to tell you about two things today. One, is actually just a reminder of the last week of the Atooly, Fist Pump hunt. Sweet Leonard is also part of this hunt and Luna made this cute flower necklace and ring that is totally free. So worth it. Hope you have done the hunt already!

Thennnn.. the second thing I want to talk about is a new event that starts on the 25th July and its running to the 11th August. The event is called Love Donna Flora. Squinternet Larnia is the owner of Donna Flora, and while you may not know her personally, I’m sure you will have some of her items in your inventory. Recently Cajsa Lilliehook informed people on Pluck that Squinternet has been battling breast cancer that metastisized to her bones since 2011 and was not doing well at all. She urgently needs help with nursing and other medical expenses. So some designers came together and decided to do this event in an effort to help Squinternet. The designers has done a great job and I am so honored to be part of this, even only as a blogger. I will definitely be supporting the event as well. If you want more information about Squinternet and follow her progress as well as the financial progress, please read more on a blog specially created for this, Love Donna Flora. If you feel like leaving a message of encouragement you can also leave it there.

In the next few blogs I will be showing you some of the items available at this event, but for now I would like to show you three of the six poses that will be available at the event from .mien. These are are great to show off jewelry and Connie is donating the full amount of these poses to Squinternet.
