It’s ok to be always beginning… {Day 1}

My daughter and I admiring the rays we just got to pet! 😍β™₯️

Hello Friends! New fresh month, no mistakes in it yet! I’m hopping on to share that I’m going to attempt to do a bit of a 100 Day Project here! I’m excited to have a little something to challenge myself with and a place to dump all the beautiful ideas I’m gleaning. I have no format for what I will be sharing, it may be little more than a brain dump some daysπŸ€ͺπŸ˜…, lists, a photo, a quote, and so on. My hope is that it will encourage and inspire you. What am I doing with the little I’ve been given? That is the question I’m asking myself currently. ☺️β™₯️🌿

Soooo, what prompted this plan? A couple things! My oldest child, my daughter, is engaged to be married later this year! 😳😭😍β™₯️Nothing like a family wedding to celebrate and work towards in multiple areas. Secondly, my sister kindly gifted me this book and we are going through it together:

I’m already a pretty established journal-er, but wanted to step it up a notch! By journaling HERE, my poor dark, quiet blog friend, 🀣 and using it as a catalyst for little writing creative projects. I see these as offerings of worship. πŸ’œπŸŒΏ

My goals and poetry writing notebook. Yes, weird combination, but it’s working currently. πŸ˜…πŸ’œ I found some fun graphics on Pinterest to color in as I go!

I also love my little to do/gratitude daily journal so will be keeping up with that! Another strange combo that works well for me!

My absolute favorite journaling is my reading journal and I have two buddy reads beginning this month! πŸ˜πŸ’œ

My reading journal spread where I will paste my April read book covers and short review! πŸ’šπŸŒΏ
New this year has been favorite reads by month! πŸ“š
Buddy Read #1 πŸ“šβ™₯️
Buddy Read #2 πŸ“šβ™₯️

I will be using the prompts in The Book of Alchemy and also continuing The Body Revelation questions, both with my sister. ☺️β™₯️Those are most likely private prayers/entries etc that go into my spiritual journal.

How β€˜bout you? How do you β€˜begin again’? How do you breathe life into creative or life projects? Having some sort of paper/stickers/glue and pens always motivates me! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚β™₯️ I’ll leave you with a quote that I saw that has me thinking deeply!

β€œβ€¦they fear love because it creates a world they can’t control.”

β€’George Orwellβ€’

😬😳☠️😍β™₯οΈπŸ’œ Chew on that, my friends! Bless you all!

What’s bringing me a bit of joy currently…{Day 10}

I saw πŸ‘€ that Abigail Carroll has new poetry book out (Cup My Days Like Water) I can’t wait to read it. Saving up my book πŸ’΄ for it!

I’ve been absolutely loving pink and purple pens lately! I have LePen and Tombow and have been making monochromatic and a mixture of the two colors spreads in my prayer journal/ planner-memory journal. I love these colors SO much, what colors represent your life currently? πŸ©·πŸ’œπŸ©·πŸ’œ

Speaking of color, I’m wondering if I β€˜need’ an autumn cardigan in Kristin’s dress color? πŸ§‘πŸ˜‚πŸ‘€ I love looking at my imaginary closet on Pinterest. 🀩🀩🀩

I can’t tell you how much my Daily Pocket Moleskine had meant to me this year! Just a teeny place to record my to dos for the day, do a little creativity, and store lots of memories! I’m really stretching the binding, but I’m soooo happy with its bursting self! I don’t love Monday start calendars, so that’s the only downside. I’m planning on getting the red one for 2025!

This cartoon has been keeping me sane lately! πŸ₯°β™₯οΈπŸ˜­πŸ’”πŸŒΏ We are just passing through, friends, and it’s a painful and glorious journey, but precious Jesus is with us every step of the way. ~
