January. My month of reflection, reevaluation and motivation. I do this in bits and pieces as life keeps whirling along at high speed, but throughout the month I do spend quite a bit of time thinking about how my life is going, what I like/don't like, and what direction I want it to take in the next year. Part of that process, for quite a few years now, involves choosing my Word for the Year (you can see the word I selected for this year
here) and figuring out how to incorporate that into my every day life. Last year, in a bid to keep my goals and intentions more present in my daily life I joined the year long online
One Little Word workshop - such a great decision! So I happily joined the workshop again this year.
While I shared most of the layouts resulting from the workshop prompts last year, I don't intend to post quite so many of them here on the blog this year. However, I did want to start out the year by putting it out there - making myself accountable and sharing what I have been thinking about lately to clarify some of my intentions and goals.
My word for this year is Light. I used my
previous blog post for the journaling section on the "reason why" cards. The photo was one I had snapped with my phone at sunrise during our vacation to Utah this past summer. And while I'm not a "yellow person" I decided that my word practically demands that yellow be used, so I'm going with kind of a yellow/gold and blue color scheme. I think.
That little heart is a wooden one I found in my stash. I just used a little chalk to give it a blue tint and free-hand cut out the star, folding the paper back-to-back first so that the back matched the front since I knew I wanted to just slip it into the pocket and leave that section open to the next page.
Page two and so on. I'll let the photos tell the story from here on.
So as January comes to a close, here's to seeking out and finding the
light and the joy in everyday life.
What are you hoping for in 2015?
