Last month I met some of my Denver, Boulder blogger friends for lunch.  After lunch we went to Lovely Confections for dessert (because they make gluten-free cupcakes).

This sign was hanging behind their counter.

Can we all just give one big collective Booyah! cheer for Julia Child.

Anyway I digress…

During that said blogger luncheon a fellow Denver blogger told me about Pinterest, as in “Pin Your Interest.”  It is a virtual pinboard – a place where you can collect and collage your ideas.  Every couple days I go to Pinterest because there is a constant stream of new inspiration and images.  You can create as many boards (themes) as you like.

 

One board I created is quotes that resonate with me.

 

 

 

Then I created a board of fun ideas.  No surprise that a lot of what I “pin” has to do with food.

 

 

Here are some kitchen window herbs in tea tins and a fun baby shower idea that I “pinned”.

 

I also started “pinning” things that I had in my childhood.

 

This was my 2nd grade lunch box and thermos.  I completely forgot about it until I saw it on Pinterest one day.

 

Then I “pin” the funny.

 

 

And the serious.

 

Pinterest.com is a great place to collect ideas.  Do you want to reinvigorate your Career? Relationships? Health?  Then start visioning (pinning) pictures and phrases on a Pinterest Board. It’s one of the best Healthy Discoveries I’ve come across this year.

Are you redecorating your home?  Preparing for a new baby?  Look to Pinterest for unique ideas. Or maybe you desire more relaxation in your life.  Pin those relaxing images!

Do you want to travel somewhere special?   Pin it!  Do you want to cook healthy food?  Pin that too. How about exercise your way to a healthy body?  Pin, Pin, Pin.  The options are endless.

When we pay attention to our desires, our daily energy levels increase. And embracing your desires will sustain your health!

Dale Carnegie encouraged people to create clear pictures in their mind of exactly what they want otherwise…

I used to cut images out of magazines when I wanted to create and collect ideas, today I use Pinterest.  It is so much fun!
