Today’s the day!  I’m starting a new blogging event at Rainy Day Reflections called Monday Motivators. Every Monday, I will share something that motivates me to get through the day, week or even through just an hour. It may be a quote, a photo or even a recipe. I hope that you will share what motivates you, also. **See below for instructions on how to join this new event.

Monday Motivator – Week 1

This quote reminds me that it’s ok to be me and that it’s ok to do the things I love however I want to do them.  It also reminds me that we don’t have forever; so don’t waste time worrying about what others think.

Why Monday Motivators?

This is part of my Project Joy and Finding Joy Everyday quest. For just over 150 days, I’ve been posting a photo on Instagram everyday of something that brings me joy. (You can join me on Instagram at ldjames1.) You can read my post Finding Joy Everyday to find out how I started on this Finding Joy Everyday journey. Monday Motivators is the 2nd part of Project Joy — starting a motivating joy event.

Join Monday Motivators

There are two ways to join Monday Motivators.

1. The first way is to simply put your Monday Motivator in the comments below along with your link (if you want to include one).  I’ll compile all motivators and add them to next Monday’s post.
2. The second way to join is by emailing me your Monday Motivator by Saturday at 6:00 PM Central time at rainydayreflections2015@gmail.com. If you need help with the time zones, The World Clock is a great website. (I’m on Dallas time.)  Remember — this event repeats every Monday.  Email your Monday Motivator before Saturday at 6:00 PM Central time to be included in the next week’s post.

>Remember — Your Monday Motivator can be a quote, a photo, a recipe — anything that motivates you.

>Image size should be low res, so the largest side should be 1000 pixels or less. Let me know if you need help in resizing your images.

>Include a link to your blog or website if you want me to link to it.

>Note — You don’t have to be a blogger to participate in this event.

Email me at raindayreflections2015@gmail.com if you want a reminder email on Fridays.

He is listed in the Dictionary of Literary Biography as one of the top ten living post-modern writers, and is a prolific creator of works of prose, poetry, film, journalism, comics, song lyrics, and drama.uthor of short fiction, novels, comic books and graphic novels.
