1 week ago by lainaturner It's so easy to judge others. It's not nearly as easy to be honest to ourselves. However, we can only grow when we view ourselves with the absolute honest truth.⁣ ⁣ That being said, we are all much harder on ourselves than we need to be.⁣ ⁣ Do me a favor and tell yourself one positive thing every day.

2 months ago by lainaturner Day 9 of #cozymysterymay ⁣ ⁣ Nothing says cozy to my like coffee but for cozy settings, I love the small town setting where all the important people know each other, but there are enough newcomers to keep things interesting. And of course, no one pays attention to the fact people die on a regular basis from foul play.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #authors #writing #imagine #writers #writers #writersofinstagram #writerslife #storyteller #creativewriting #write #writingwarriorscollective #creativelife #authorlife #createeveryday #writerscommunity #words #writersofig #creativelifehappylife #midlife #mycreativebiz #wordsmith #writingcommunity #creativityfound #midlife #midlifefabulous
2 weeks ago by lainaturner I’ve always loved goals and goal setting. Although these days, I like the idea of goal setting more so than the actual working to achieve my goals. I've had a big problem lately with follow through. And by lately I mean the last couple years.⁣ ⁣ Instead of making changes, I've allowed my lack of progress to make me feel bad, which doesn't help matters at all. When you feel bad about yourself, it perpetuates the negative. ⁣ ⁣ I look at that list and want to feel shame and beat myself up, but you know what. I’m not going
2 months ago by lainaturner Day 10 of #cozymysterymay my favorite TV sleuth.⁣ ⁣ I have to go with a throwback to the '80s when I'd watch TV with my mom. ⁣ ⁣ Magnum PI. While at the time I didn't understand my mother's fascination with Tom Selleck and his famous mustache even as a kid I enjoyed the back and forth between him and Higgins.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #authors #writing #imagine #writers #writers #writersofinstagram #writerslife #storyteller #creativewriting #write #writingwarriorscollective #creativelife #authorlife #createeveryday #writerscommunity #words #writersofig #creativelifehappylife #midlife #mycreativebiz #wordsmith #writingcommunity #creativityfound #midlife #midlifefabulous
1 week ago by lainaturner I admit..... nothing is as good as gelato in Italy. Its really one of the major food groups.⁣ ⁣ I take that back. People are better than gelato.⁣ ⁣ I made this trip with a few people i knew and a few i didn’t but by the end they were all family. ⁣ ⁣ Life is crazy and we all get busy but the important thing in life isn’t our things, our profession, or our achievements. Its the people we surround ourselves with. ⁣ ⁣ Im so lucky that #helenemademeportugal and #helenemademeitaly I’ve made long lasting friends whom I’d travel
