See those words above? They were designed by Kal Barteski and written by Karen of Chookooloonks. At Alt Summit, Karen gave them to me in poster form and they made me a bit weepy.
Then, I read this post by Shannon Colleary. And it made me a bit weepy too (also, it made me laugh really hard).
I’m having one of those weeks where I’m surrounded by so much beauty that it’s all I can do to acknowledge it and soak up as much as I can hold. Have you ever had a week like that?
P.S. — I still owe you an Alt Summit recap. Hopefully tomorrow!

I love Kal Barteski’s work. Great stuff. And that Chookooloonks quote is wonderful. The “am I fat?/nude pics” post was hilarious! And good for all of us to remember. Thanks for sharing!
I feel like that when I’m pregnant. Number 7 perhaps? ;-)
Totally preordered this yesterday. I can’t wait to hang it in my bedroom and look at it every single day.
Love the quote … and the article had me laughing so hard.
I really am fat. But you know what? I just cannot convince myself to feel that bad about it (expect when I have to shop in the plus size department at Macy’s and then I do feel bad) with so much other stuff going so right. And I don’t really want to give up birthday cake for breakfast this week because my biggest boy turned 6 and it’s an awesome way to celebrate being a mom for 6 whole years!
Jenny, I hear ya. I am fat too. I am. Truthfully, I am okay with it. Yes, I would like to live a long happy life and being fat might shorten it. However, I am living a happy life. I am only bummed when I go to the doctors once a year and get on the scale. :)
It makes me sad when people who really are perfectly perfect don’t appreciate themselves.
Be who you are. Be happy. Be content. :)
This is beautiful :D
Thank you for taking a moment to share tiny bits of the magic of life. It’s so, so hard to do, and I need reminders to keep trying. Thanks again!
When I look through the photos of my boys (we have 5 of them!) when they were all kids at home, my soul just fills up to overflowing. I remember the sounds and the warmth and the amazing feeling of complete when I look at them. It is an overwhelmingly wonderful experience.
What a great way to start off a Friday morning…thanks for sharing. And Shannon’s post made me weepy too. You’re both pretty impressive.
What a wonderful quote and in poster form even better.
The link you provided was wonderful. I cannot tell you how many of my friends are going to such extremes to have perfect bodies. Size 2 friends that think they have love handles… makes me sad.
That print and quote, your post, and the link inspired me to write a post about all of because it is so important!
