So lately I have been completely and utterly obsessed with Pinterest. I mean COMPLETELY obsessed.
Some of the things I read on Pinterest really make me think. Some of them resonate deep down inside. Some of them make me laugh... some make me cry... and some make me look deep inside myself and see things I never noticed before.
Earlier this week, this pin resonated deeply within me:
At the time, I was feeling really down on myself. I had tried to do something really good... and failed in epic fashion. I had tried to bring unity to a group, and instead people fought, feelings were hurt... and I felt responsible.
Today, that pin no longer resonates within me. After emotionally beating myself black and blue, I saw another pin... a pin that made me think about how I was looking at myself. It made me CHANGE how I was looking at myself.
I was not looking at myself in the right way. In the situation I was upset about, there were other participants who were just as deeply responsible for the situation. Grown adults, with the ability to avoid conflict... who could want or not want unity. I am not responsible for the outcome... if I did my best, if my intentions were pure... it's enough. That's what I learned... from my situation, and from a cute purple pin on Pinterest.

Pinterest is my new happy place.

I found that site (Not Salmon) via Pinterest too. It is brilliant! I have heaps of her inspirational pictures in my kid's bedrooms and on my classroom walls.
Thanks so much for joining in with my weekly Pinning & Singing party. I hope you will be able to link up another Pinterest inspired post this weekend!
Best wishes.
