what better way to start the year than chopping off six inches + going brunette?
i love fresh starts. normally i would have all my goals set for the new year by january first, plus a word for the year, a blank planner begging to be filled, + dreaming of all the things i want to do over the next 365 days.
i woke up on the first day of the year without even a thought of what goals i wanted to set for 2021. no word for the year, no ideas, + certainly not a new planner. instead- i began the year with a different approach: prayerfully plan, slowly. over the last five days, ideas have started to take shape. i don't have lofty goals or big plans. that's okay. it's not a contest. no one wins a prize for best goals. some ideas i have are:
- infuse my daily life with scripture + prayer. i started this last year, and it changed my days.
- create every day. it doesn't have to be anything specific. write. take photos. blog. paint. just create.
- read 25 books. maybe i'll branch out to a graphic novel. or maybe i'll keep reading alllll the thrillers.
- keep a remnants journal. i did this last year + it was so fun!
i don't necessarily have a word for the year. my brain works better in quarters. (blame the accountant in me!)
my word for this first quarter is CREATE. i want to look for God in the details + give Him the glory with my art.
