This post was sponsored by Chalkola, which supplied me with chalk and window markers in exchange for my review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. A week ago I went for a normal checkup that turned up some unexpected results. I'm still undergoing tests. It doesn't look like I'll get a total clean bill of health, but I'm hoping for the best. I've been a bit worried the past few days, so I've decided to put together a quick and easy inspiration board. I figure that the board can help me focus on the blessings and pluses in my life.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BlueLizardSummer #CollectiveBias Once summer hits, my family and I love to enjoy the sunny weather in our backyard.
