Stop and Smell the Roses

Sometimes life gets busy . . . real busy, and we don’t know if we are coming or going.

It’s at times like these that it’s good to take a minute, take a breather and enjoy the pleasures in life and the things we are grateful for.

If you are feeling a bit stressed, over worked or overwhelmed here’s a gentle reminder to, “Stop and Smell the Roses” – a saying my best friend Amy and I often use.

Download  and print our poster, pop it into a frame and place it in a space that you’ll see it often. Sized to fit a frame of 10cmx15cm or 13cmx18cm.

OR Download our Digital Wallpaper and load it as your desktop screensaver.

Enjoy all the moments in life, be present and remember that the journey is as important as the final goal – (a little advice I know I could personally take).

Thank you Blackframe Photography for the gorgeous pics. Grab a cup of tea, sit down, relax and scroll the beautiful photographs on their blog.

Have a happy day smelling life’s roses!
