Happy New Year
I am ready to embrace what 2014 has in store for me.
I'm starting a new job as the School Librarian at Carncot Independent School. I'll work 3 hours every day during term time so I get to do what I love professionally, and still have time for my family and creativity :-)
Time to share my word for the year. Some of my past words have been Completion (2013), Lighten Up (2012), Be Present (2011). Although I sometimes lose sight of it towards the end of the year, I do find it a helpful way to start. Hear Christine Kane talking about the concept here. If you think you'd like to choose a word, there's a huge list of possibilities here.
I have finally settled on
Living Thrifty will mean :
* Using what I have and not buying new art supplies.

* Not buying new art books - I have enough inspiration on my bookshelf to last me a lifetime!

| Lucky me got the Stencil Girl book for Christmas and the library can feed my art book habit without me spending :-) |
* Making more meals/trying new recipes and buying takeaways less (currently once a week)
Would love you to leave a comment telling me your word or creative goals for 2014. See you again soon
Hi Lyn - my own 'resolutions' almost entirely match yours except I don't do the gym - I have promised myself a swim 2-3 times a week though!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you and your family
Happy New Year Lynette!
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on my "word"!
I've got similar resolutions - again no gym - walks are my thing!
Less computer and more 'doing' definitely!

What great goals Lynette . . . all encompassing. I'm still working on CONtent and conTENT from 2013 and probably always will. I'm trying to keep things simple and be spontaneous all at once . . . to live simply so others may simply live and being open to opportunities and new ways of thinking about things sort of sums it up.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job . . . it will fit in well with the kids.
Love your thrifty use of found letters from your stash!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it makes me smile that two of my hopes for my year are also to spend less frivolous time on the computer and more time enjoying making (and finishing!) my own art and dreams!
I love your word. I need to stop spending on art supplies, too, and use what I have.
