an introduction..
each birthday, another resolution around the sun… the closing of one year, and beginning of a new one.
(here’s the last two years)
making a list to help me to focus and manifest the little and big things i want in this life for this year
by way of telling the universe
reminding myself
and setting out with the intention to make beautiful memories, to not pass up an opportunity to do something that i want to do (to not make excuses or be held back by money if it’s on the list)
a gentle nudge to say ‘yes’
some can be BIG. some can be small…
this is what i want for my 24th year on earth
- sew a quilt
- bake an apple pie. and a
pumpkin one. - work towards doula ‘certification’
- take a creative class
learn how to shoulder hoop, and master some fun hooping tricks (oct.29th, 2011)- make a tincture
- make my own textile(s)
- get fun and loose with creating, practice new styles
- take more pictures
- picnic in the grass
- create my art portfolio website
- create *home*
- make a dream catcher
- create a space as my ‘art studio’
- read a few books
- complete the series of paintings i have in my head
- illustrate a book
- make my own medicine bundle + discover my animal totem
- learn to carve wood
- art journal. nature journal. journal journal. you know? c’mon. keep it up.
- set a 30 day challenge and COMPLETE it
- dare i say it? dreaming up a beautiful spring surprise.
- galway christmas market with my little family
- go to the ocean. my heart home.
what are some BIG and small things that you’d like to do before your next birthday?
–
i had a beautiful, humble sweet birthday
gifts of words and wishes from friends all around the globe
a chocolate cake
serenaded by my niece, ocean and mountains away
two naps for my wee teething fairy
a chance to paint
cuddling on the couch with my love
before falling into slumber with a snoring baby on my pillow.
