Don't you just love that quote above? It reminds me that there is only one me like me and only one of you like you. I think we all get influenced by life on how we should be or should act and maybe even the green eyed monster comes out when someone else has a different set of circumstances then you. Am I the only one who is a little jealous of the teenagers on my super sweet sixteen? :) or maybe even a little jealous when the rich and famous are complaining about the paprazzi but they still make a million dollars a year and get to live their dream everyday? Granted I don't personally know any famous people (will I did meet the guy from American Pie once in an airport like 10 years ago) and I don't know anyone who has ever thrown any of those over the top sweet 16 parties. Whatever happened to you just being you? and me just being me? I think life is full of twists and turns and everyone has a story but isn't life about what you make it and all of the little victories in between?
Maybe I was a little inspired by Dr Seuss! You know I can just be me and you just can be you. :) Happy Monday- stay inspired today.

Love this - I think it's such a perfect thing to hear on a Monday...I adore that quote (and Dr. Seuss)
One of my favorite quotes of all time. :]
i have a tendency to be envious of the person i might have been, or the life i might have had if i just x, y, or z.
but generally, i like being just me, it's all i've got. :)
I've always loved this quote.
one of my favorite quotes.
happy travels, can't wait to see your pictures!
i love that quote! Hope you're having a great time!
Ah, Dr. Seuss. What simple genius.
I'm so impressed that you're painting on the road!
Excellent thoughts for the morning! I really need to remember this. :)
I think I'd like to add a sentiment to that. I'd like to be the best me I can be!
Hope you have a great rest of road trip!

I love Dr. Seuss! He's pretty much my role model. And these are important words to live by! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
That is such a happy quote :)
I love how cheerful and uplifting it is.

A very good reminder indeed!

I'm totally with ya on celebrities complaining about paparazzi! I mean, come on! :)
Love this quote! Perfect for a Monday :)
Dr. Suess is definitely a fave, as is this quote :). The other one I love is "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind won't matter and those who matter won't mind."
Happy traveling!!
I love your blog. It truly inspires me! Tomorrow I'm off to Vermont Studio Center for a month and if I get stuck I'm going to make a point of reading your blog. Thanks for all the inspiration.

What a great quote! xo
The older I get the more "me" I become -- I like it!!
I know a guy who wrote a song that was in American Pie :) That's about all the fame for me except for meeting Amos Lee and Aubrey passing out in G. Love's bus a couple of months ago LOL
I love that quote too and it's so true! Hope you're having a blast on the road.
love the quote! very inspirational... hope your week is off to a good start :)
O, what a great quote! My job requires me to meet with those over-the-top sweet-sixteen-girls. I'm usually designing their invitations and party stationery. If you got green eyed just by watching, try working for them :D LOL.. They're super divas and mostly hard to please. But I guess they're just being their normal state. As you pointed out, they are just being themselves :)
Thanks for this - I needed to read that. feeling rather melancholy at the moment and needed a boost! Hope you're having a great time :)
Love the pics on your blog!!!
Do you want to follow each other ;) ???
We're already following you!!!

Will be inhspired by Dr. Suess - a great quote. And you are so right, Tinajo, that it is important to be our unique selves and that no one else can be the same .... as are snowflakes beautifully unique.
A great post!
Will be back commenting at the end of the month.
¡Hasta luego!
Fantastic quote!

Indeed! And I had a great weekend. Looking forward to doing nothing this weekend, howevs
great post... hope you're having a good one so far!
What a great quote! We all should be thankful we are who we are! Life would be very boring if we were all the same hey! Glad you having fun :)
I love that as adults we seek wisdom in one of the greatest writers of children's books :) But I think that's also genius since we tend to lose sight of the joy in life that we took for granted as kids.
Whoa, I went deep there for a minute!
Thanks as always for the inspiration and have a fabulous trip with the family!!
I came to Dr Seuss quite late by all accounts.. He's not really big for kids in England. But now that I know him I've spent the last couple of years believing that he is, most definitely, a legend.
You're so wonderful Erika!! You have a knack for writing the most perfect words that I most need to hear. Thanks for being you. xx
How lovely that you're enjoying your road trip ... I look forward to hearing and seeing all that you've been up to! :)
Aw that's such a good quote, never heard it before, but will definitely keep a note of it :) x
Love your Blog ;) Nice idea.
Love S.

Love Dr. Seuss's quote! I'm jealous of those famous people who can do anything they want everyday. I'd love to be able to do that but I think it'd get old quickly. Maybe not, haha.
Love that quote... & post! And congrats on leaving a cube job. I did a similar sort of thing. So I completely understand how hard it is. Good for you!
Fantastic! That quote reminds me a bit of Mister Rogers, one of my heroes, and how he always says there is only one person in the world like you. A wonderful thought isn't it?
