Remember This – Week 43

July was another two-pager. The assignment was to pick three things: One self care item, one thing to celebrate, and one thing to give.

I chose to celebrate doing 10K steps each day and to eat salads each day for lunch as my self-care. For giving, I decided to use the two big trips we took to see family.

Here’s the front:

Listen with Intent – Week 48

And for my final month, I decided to pick Listen Deeply. December is a reflective month for me. I like to slow down and go deeper. I like to read, think about, and journal on self-growth. My wishes, hopes, plans, goals, growth for the next year. It’s a great time for me to go deeper.

Here’s the pin where I got the lettering..

Today I Know – Week 47

This week’s inspiration comes from this pin. I used watercolors and stickles on this page. It’s quite shiny when you tilt it.

A Book a Week – Beautiful Ruins

I read, Beautiful Ruins because I’d kept reading about it and was somehow never in the mood to actually read it. I finally picked it up and decided to make my way through it.

And i did.

I finished the whole book.

Did I like it? Not sure.

I didn’t hate it but I am not sure it was awesome.

If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Remember This – Week 42

Continuing with the One Little Word 2014 assignments. This one is a two page spread. On the left is a large shot of me and the journaling is about one thing I’d like to improve this month.

The right side is a series of photos from the first half of the year. Photos that make me happy.

Love seeing these even now.

Listen with Intent – Week 47

For my last intention in November I decided to pick donate. Donating my time, my support, my attention to those I love. Listening more openly, listening for an opportunity that might need me to donate more of myself to the conversation. It seems weird when I write it down but to me, this intention makes perfect sense 🙂

Here’s the pin where I got the lettering..

A Book a Week – The Invention of Wings

I read, The Invention of Wings because I’ve read Sue Monk Kidd before and I’ve loved it. I had heard this book was good but I knew practically nothing about the plot until I started listening to it.

It was such a lovely, such a heart wrenching, such an interesting story that I am really glad I read it. As someone who didn’t grow up here, I don’t know enough about abolition, let alone about women’s role in it. This was a really interesting read for me.

Recommended if historical novels are interesting to you.
