Happy Monday everyone! Welcome to my weekly post where I will be sharing some of the flickr photos that inspire me, things I loved about the previous week, things I'm looking forward to, and some of my favorite links. Please feel free to join me either in comments or via your own blog, I would love to see what's inspiring you ❤

★ Studio Ghibli | Studio Ghibli films, particularly Kiki's Delivery Service, were a major part of my childhood. They're fill with magic, wonder, and whimsy and they always left me filled with awe. This past week I had the desire to start re-watching my favorites, both past and present thanks to both my personal collection and that at the library. Starting out with My Neighbor Totoro I am being taken on a journey through my childhood and I am loving every minute of it.

☆ Frozen Yogurt | The weather here has been pretty much miserable lately so any way to beat the heat is appreciated, especially if it involves something sweetly delicious. Frozen yogurt fits that bill perfectly. While I like to experiment with interesting flavors like raspberry pomegranate, I'm also loving classic combinations like mint/chocolate and peanut butter/chocolate.

★ New Opportunities | I've not been having the best of luck with my job hunt so far, but this week I've found some new opportunities that I'm really excited about. This whole process has been teaching me that despite the setbacks I need to keep my head held high because the best possibility is waiting just around the corner.

☆ Things I'm Anticipating | exploring new libraries • ngreat new movies • sunrise at the laket • ... and so much more!

Summer Movies

Summer is one of my favorite movie seasons (along with Christmas). It's the season of action blockbusters and fun children's movies, two of my favorite genres. This year has also been a good one for romantic comedies. With movies at such a premium in cost I'm unable to go as much as I used to, but that makes me treasure the experience even more. I love piling into the car as a family, leaving early to ensure good seats. Walking into the theater, shoes sticking to the remnants of spilled sodas as I make my way to the middle of the row with the bar in front allowing for maximum comfort. Watching the previews and making a mental note of what I want to see in the future. Finally, watching the movie and allowing myself to be completely caught up in the on screen action. Such fun on a hot summer afternoon. Have you seen anything that you've loved this summer?

I lost track of time there and started to write this a little late (at least this post flowed a little more quickly than some of the others). I think I might flip on the televsion and see what's on...
