Pep Talk

Ahh Nike.....your slogan, 'Just Do It'..... has really changed my life (I believe I live it every day.... even in the little things. Huge ironing pile? ... blah... just do it). Love this one too.... it sits above my desk.... just begin it.... just start it.... start..... anything..... be bold.....just do it. I am married to one who lives this too....my lovely entrepreneur. Oh, the impulsiveness in our lives... and the occasional poverty!....not everything works!

Oh and subtle magazine hint in there too. Am I allowed to blab yet Rosanne? I have been so good.... haven't I?
A-M xx

P.S. June issue, out early May... rumour has it... don't quote me on that... only a rumour. Soon anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong someone. Oh I am a bit nervous.... actually ....very.

Kerri said...

I have that same card propped on my desk A-M, sometimes we all need reminding to stay on course and keep the faith. And I am so sweating on my Home Beautiful mag, cannot wait to see your home in all its glory. Well done you and looking forward to the big reveal. K xx

Simony said...

Kelly Green said...

Don't be nervous - all will be fine! ( and exciting...) Love your slogan - must be more like that myself me thinks! KG

Mrs C said...

All sounds very exciting....I'll have to stay tuned!

A-M said...

Oh dear, I hope I am not in trouble for blabbing. I am really good at keeping everyone elses secrets.... but not mine...A-M xx

McCarthy Designs said...

Oh A-M that is so exciting, I am hoping my copy arrives soon! I haven't stopped by for a few days so I am a bit late in catching up on your news! What huge news! It will be sad to say good bye to your gorgeous house but also exciting to be able to follow you on your new adventure! I wish you all the best in this next chapter of life! xx

A Room For Everyone said...

Ooooooh, how exciting! Can't wait to see it! Though I think you might be crying and jumping for joy at the same time, get ready! It had to be Home Beautiful, of course. I was just thinking this morning that they feature the loveliest homes. I like your attitude, just like my husband. Whenever I feel yuck he says, "Just do whatever you need to do and get on with it!" I love it. Rxx

LisaK said...

A-M, imagine all the sales they are going to get with your article! Can't wait to see it in the glossy pages.

Low Tide High Style said...

Oh, this will require a trip to the city to find a "real" bookstore that carries magazines from down under! I can't wait!

Gold Coast news agencies had better not sell out before I get my hands on a copy or I'll have to get on the train to Brissy! That clue wasn't really all that subtle A-M, ...thanks!
I wish my hubby and I were more "just do it" types. Must try and work on that.

Wow how exciting - where is that postman with my copy. Thanks for your tips of blog time management!! Never enough hours in the day! Leanne xx

Nessie Kate said...

Oh, yay!!! Love HB, and I think your gorgeous home is perfectly suited to it. Can't wait to see the spread.
Your blog is still my #1, keep up the good work! Look forward to the next chapter. xx

Ellen said...

I've just seen your blog for the first time and i am in heaven.
Your house is just beautiful - you must be so proud of what you and your family have achieved.
I'm new to this blog-thinga-ma-jiggy - would be out of line for me to ask what colour you painted your exterior? I LOVE it!!!
Can't wait to get next month's HB, i'll be cutting out your pics and adding them to my collection....

Jayne said...

There we are...as I said the other day, you are a family of 'do-ers'. I really admire people like you and I know that whatever you do next you will make a success of it.

I don't imagine I can get that mag from where I am, half a world away, but I'm certainly going to have a rummage and see if it has an internet version. Your feature is a well deserved recognition of all your hard work.

Jepp it's springtime in Norway now, and I love the spring....sadly when I woke up this morning, it was white on the ground...I don't want more snow now...But that's April....

Have a nice weekend, and....Just do it! =0)

Annie@A View On Design said...

Bralliz said...
