twelve months of bliss {august}

nothing encourages inspiration and a creative outlook like a blank canvas! so began the august twelve months of bliss prompt from emily of ember grey. i usually create an inspiration board the first week of january every year and always love the process. her prompt motivated me mid-year to re-evaluate my visions and goals by adding things that inspired and encouraged me. she emphasized this month that we change- and that that is ok. just as the seasons change, different things come up in life that leave us different; somewhat changed. “don’t be afraid to change. you may lose something good but you may gain something better.” whether it leaves a positive or negative impact, i think it is important to step back and recognize that our dreams might be changing. what better way to do this than a clean slate at the beginning of each month? i hope to continue hanging different pieces to my board throughout each month.
before i clear it off for september, here is my inspiration board for august:

 but first… here is the one i made in january for the new year. 

 now full of inspirations and momentos of love 

my board included a lot of baby love from other people {esp. bloggers}
