Inspirations from Instagram
Here are a few inspirations I made for my Instagram account. For more motivation every day, follow me @chrissie_eich Hope to see you there!
are you doing what you really want to be doing?
This is a question I have been asking myself lately. I am thinking about taking the plunge into a new career! It is scary and exciting at the same time. Certain thing have to fall into place before I can make it happen though. How about you? Do you love what you’re doing? Life is too short to not be utterly, completley enamored with it. 💝
I was called a racist today
I liked a video tutorial (see photo above and click link here for the tut ) https://www.instagram.com/p/BC0lfAPvcZC/ which resulted in a dialogue with another Instagram user. It ended by her calling me a racist if I adopted this look. You can see it all in the comments if you go to the post (if they are not deleted by now).

She cries and wonders is it God’s will To spend her whole life in a puppy mill? She prays for someone to take her away To a home with a yard and children to play. And …

Thoughts
I don’t believe that thinking happy thoughts or finding the positive in everything is a realistic or even healthy way of trying to view life. Life has ups and life has downs.
