"A Tiny Bit Extra"

Hello, Conceptual Receptionists!

Thank you all so much for the sweet, encouraging comments on my last post. The final reading of my thesis went really well, and I got to spend some much needed time celebrating with people I love.  Delicious food was eaten, movies were watched, champagne was cheers-ed. Oh, and I got a "congratulations-you-did-it" package in the mail!

Moms are amazing.

The owl hot-pad and towels have made my kitchen extra-awesome, and the banana notepad, note cards, and travel mug helped me get back to work with a smile on my face. 

I feel like a million bucks... and already have a list a mile long of what I want to do with my shiny new free-time. (I'd love to share it with you this weekend. I need help deciding what giant project to get all stoked about next!)

Right now, though, I'm getting everything ready for when my sister arrives in San Francisco tonight! It's going to be a wonderful weekend.

I want to leave you with some good advice I received this week.  "No matter what you're doing, always do just a tiny bit extra, even if it's just smiling through a moment you dislike.  If you do this, you will shine like a beacon."
