From my infographic... This April I... Created some phone wallpaper freebies. Shared some inspiring black and white photos. Took the time to express myself in the weirdest of ways... Talked about the value in numbers. Took a personality test - and explained why you should too. Wrote about how to connect with your inner beauty. Shared a happiness playlist. Talked about God-given desires. Made an infographic on how to pin an image that doesn't have a pin it button. What did you do this month? :)

When I was younger, I could never understand the desires other people had. I would listen to my friends talk about their dream jobs and if I could relate - as in, perhaps I wanted the same things too - I would see the cleverness in their goals. But when I could not relate, I couldn't help but scrutinize their choice and think "why on earth would they choose that ?" I mean, why would someone want to cut open another person and probe at their insides with surgical tools? Why would someone want to stick their hands in someone else's mouth to check their teeth? why would anyone want to work on cars or develop video games? I just never understood it. Until my mother, wise as she is, said these words and blew me away. "God puts different desires in everyone." With such a simple statement, you would think I'd have figured it out myself, but it was one of those times in which my own preferences blinded me from seeing the truth that was set clear...

Where art thou muse? Sometimes I look at other words, when I'm trying to find my own. I dig within myself, breaking skin as I search for something so unique it surprises even myself. But as I search, I come up empty. Drained of whatever it is I am looking for. I'm continuing my search. Day after day I come up empty. Rarely.

I wish it could be like this all the time. I wish I could have all the originality in the world. And all its creativity at my disposal. Do you ever wish that your muse would visit you as often as you'd like? xx Nicole Rose

When I was younger, I couldn't see myself as beautiful. I'd look at myself in the mirror and think, "Decent, maybe. But beautiful? No." As I've grown older, God's shown me it's not what's on the outside that counts - it's what's in your heart. Here are five tips for connecting with your inner beauty. 1. Start with a positive outlook Looking in the mirror each morning and telling yourself - out loud - "I am beautiful. I am talented, kind and funny.  I am awesome. " starts your day with a positive outlook. This, in turn, shines the rest of your day with positivity as well. 2. Maintain the balance There are two extremes you can fall into when trying to recognize your inner beauty. You can fall into a web of negativity, or you could end up working your way into an overly optimistic frenzy. Refrain from overworking yourself. Know your limitations and gently push yourself. 3. Set goals you can accomplish Set goals for yours...

(Yes, we're going to be talking about my personality. Sheesh.) INFJ These letters stand for I ntroversion, i N tuition, F eeling and J udging. And I'm convinced they fit me perfectly.
