Ready for some Cat Art AND Monday Motivation?
What could be cheerier for a Monday than something that is motivational AND feline inspired? (Dog people need not answer that. I'm sorry I can't draw decent dogs. :/ )
Hopefully, you read mylatest post about Cats for a Cause (about my Raggedy Cat series and helping low-income families). In the post I mentioned that I opened a separate Zazzle shop JUST for cat related designs.
Most of the products there are the Raggedy Cats, but I've also thrown in some other cat designs, because I seem to always end up doodling cats every single day.
Today, I added this really cool new design that I can't wait to share with you.
Ta-Da!

In my head this design is absolutely titled "Be THAT Cat". Because that cat is cool, confident, and not afraid to be unique. Not only are those traits that all humans can (should) aspire to, I think they are especially important for bloggers.
With blogging being a crowded market, I know it is tempting to jump on whatever seems to be trendy and working for another blogger, such as certain styles of post images (I might be talking about the 45 different images I saw earlier today on Pinterest, all containing a plate of pastel-colored cookies by a laptop.)
Those photos are gorgeous and professional looking. Which is why they are hot right now. So I get it. But I definitely do think (especially as a reader of blog posts) that it counts a lot if you express something about YOU in your images.
It's okay to go with that style of photo, but put some YOU in it. I know I personally love to be able to scan a feed and recognize a blogger's photos immediately.
And photos are just an example I'm pulling out. Uniqueness should echo softly not just on your blog, but in your life too.
So, this Monday, I hope you find the courage to be true to yourself, because you are the one and ONLY you.
You are THAT cat.
