A few notes

I did not create iPad or iPhone sizes of these wallpapers, because for the most part, people seem to write on computers or with pen and paper. If you need one in one of those sizes, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can do. :)

Enjoy, and please feel free to spread these as far as you like!

Sacrifice

When I say STRUCK ME, I mean that it felt as if I’d been hit squarely between the eyes. I could feel it all the way down to my toes. And so of course, I had to make a wallpaper out of it, so you can be hit between the eyes every time you see it too.

“Sacrifice is the currency you pay to get what you want.”

With kudos to Dave, I present the Sacrifice wallpaper set

Download it in full, or choose which ones you want:

Sacrifice: Wallpaper set [ZIP file]
Sacrifice: Wallpaper [Widescreen]
Sacrifice: Wallpaper [Fullscreen]
Sacrifice: Wallpaper [iPhone]
Sacrifice: Wallpaper [iPad]

Trust Yourself (you're wiser than you think)

It’s that time again, lovelies. I’ve been wanting to make you more wallpaper, and I suddenly realized today that one of my most important life truths had NOT BEEN MADE INTO A WALLPAPER YET.

(YES. It deserves many capslocks!)

When was the last time you trusted yourself? When was the last time you had faith in your own wisdom?

We do a lot of looking outside ourselves for knowledge, for help, for direction and guidance. And while it is always a good idea to see what other smart people are doing, it tends to make us forget that we are already the repository of a great amount of information and experiential wisdom.

So far in my coaching practice, even though it’s still in its infancy, I have seen people make huge strides forward simply by trusting themselves a little bit.

Try it. You might like it. :)

And of course: download the wallpaper!

This time, I have FOUR sizes! If you have an iPad, please try this size out and make sure to let me know if it’s not quite right. (I don’t have one, so I can’t test it myself.)

Download them separately, or all at once in a zipped folder:
Widescreen size: Trust Yourself
Fullscreen size: Trust Yourself
iPhone size: Trust Yourself
iPad size: Trust Yourself

The whole set: Trust Yourself

The Suck Stops Here: Wallpaper Set

It’s that time again! Today’s awesome wallpaper phrase was suggested several times by the kickass @sakmaniac, who is an equally kickass Twitter buddy and fellow designer.

It’s your chance to say to your to-do list, your desk full of papers, and your life this week: THE SUCK STOPS HERE.

(And then, of course, make it true.)

Your downloads!

This time, I’m giving you individual downloads, as well as the full set in a zipped folder. Because I thought you might like to be picky and choosy. :)
