Updates

Happy September! A brand new month, school year, and it's almost my favorite season! I am so ready for fall these days. As much as I love the summer heat--I don't. I finally got brave and ordered a fan that blows on me every night. It's been my saving grace this summer! So back to fall, I just really love fall for many reasons. I'm ready to pull out my fall sweaters and scarves, make pumpkin cookies and butternut squash soup, and drink apple cider. I love the color of the leaves and the cool air! I'm ready!!! I also prefer to work out in the cooler months, so that's a bonus! We are putting on the final touches of #ConfidenceIsMe. It'll be good to finally wrap up this project. I'm starting a new project in January that I will be posting about here in the next few months.

Now that summer is pretty much over, I am back on a more strict schedule and can start giving this blog more love. You'll find social media links to the right, where you can follow me. Instagram is my very favorite and I post on there a lot! You can follow this blog for more updates if you so choose. I love when there are comments or emails from you readers. I always respond to you, so if you have anything to say or suggest, shoot me an email or comment below! Okay, now I'm done with my shameless plug.

Happy September and Labor Day weekend!

#ConfidenceisMe

I have been trying to write a post on confidence, but wanted it to be a bit different than my usual posts. After much brainstorming, I have started a project called "#ConfidenceisMe". More about this project is coming so stay tuned.

Growing up, I always thought confidence came from some catastrophic moment. Or that you had to act or look a certain way. But I have found that it is different for everyone. So, this is where you come in. I want your opinion on the following:

What is it about myself that makes me feel confident?

Is it your ridiculous good looks? Your outrageously, genius brain?! Your personality? Something else???

Now, perhaps you don't feel confident about yourself or you don't know how to answer the above question. That's totally fine. If this is you, then perhaps you can answer this:

• What do I think confidence is?
• What do I think confidence looks like?

How can you reply to the above question(s)? Here's how:

• Comment on THIS post.
• Email me at thoughtsforyourtea@gmail.com (This tends to be the preferred way of my readers. I love reading your emails every.single.day!)
• Use #ConfidenceisMe on Instagram and tag me (missmarilirock). (More info on my Instagram account. Check out the sidebar for a direct link.)

You can be as specific or vague as you wish. Your comments will be featured in my project. (If you wish that your comment be anonymous or confidential, let me know.) The more input I have, the BETTER my project will be, so please share with your friends and family. I will be releasing this project this summer, so stay tuned! Thank you and have a great day!

Or perhaps you're like Kramer, who looks confident as he struts down the street in his technicolor dream coat??? (Seinfeld, anyone?) Poor quality, but I just get the best belly-laugh from this clip.
