this corner in my garden is where i recharge and reset, where i go to find myself in moments of turbulence, when i don’t know which is the path to follow and when the past is talking loud and i want to silence it.
have a peaceful week!
It’s difficult to believe but 2018 is almost here. What has happened with 2017? It was like yesterday I was wishing happy 2017.
I don’t like to make resolutions for the new year, generally, by February I’ve already given up on them.
But I do choose a word of the year, I’ve been doing it since 2014 and it really makes a difference for me. A tiny work helps me to be focus, to always bring me back to my real self.
My word for 2018 is EMBRACE. I’ve been doing a brave work of discovering my true self, a journey of self-love and respect. It’s time to accept myself and be my true friend. I painted this canvas and I’ll place it on a wall in my studio. The symbols on it are Angelic Zibu Symbols: On the top left – nurture yourself, left side – listen within and on the right – embrace life. My 2017 word was BRAVE, I painted a canvas for it as well. Looking back I see that I was really brave in relation to figure out stuff that was hidden deep inside me.
I painted a wheel of the year with words for each month, so I can narrow down and work month by month on each intention. On the left side are my intentions and on the right side I’ll fill up after each month with the what really happened.
Here are my new notebooks for 2018:
The one with flowers is a Christma gift from hubby, it will be my journal for morning/evening pages, under it is a large sketchbook that I’ll use for art journaling. I have the We’Moon datebook and the tiny one is Hobonichi Techo, Japanese compact daily planner, that I’ll use for poetry and quotes. This last one is a quite expensive notebook, but I decided to give it to myself as a treat because I deserve it!
And you? Have you chosen a work for the new year, set few intentions, or are you going to let things move according to the flow?
Happy New Year!
I dove deep into my soul work this past week. The change of the season, the full moon, starting to blogging again…, so many things triggered my mood for journaling. I wrote lots of morning pages and some art pages as well, here are few of them. Hope they inspire you!
Have a wonderful Sunday.
E.
new month, new intentions. i make a vision board very month with the stuff i need to focus on the rest of the month. my october board has work out and journaling, spend more time outdoors enjoying nature’s show, eat yummy and health food, and being more joyful. i already do all of these, but the board is more an enforcement like making concrete my wishes.
i love to make mandalas, they represent a connection between mind and soul. this one i made with pieces of paper, i interpret it as a sign that i need to have a strong connection between my feelings. i’m always surprised with the oracle cards that show up to me after an intense soul work, this one, fire, is confirming what the mandala shows, i need to invest more on my passions, do things that make me complete.
well, this is my first post! hope you enjoyed it. i’d love to hear your thoughts and wish wonderful october to you!
