I spent an hour and a half today, finishing lining out the paper, straightening my transparency grid. I saged myself and my space I lit incense and meditated with my Lemurian quartz before starting. Just a simple outline and rudimentary shadows. Just the beginning. We must start somewhere. Let it be here.
Today I get back on track with drawings. My word for 2015 was Balance. At times I was tipping the scales trying to juggle my first attempt at homeschool preschool, working my handmade business, drawing the departed, being a housewife and a mother. And time for myself. While 2015 was successful most of the time finding balance, I realized I needed a better plan for 2016 to make sure everything was getting done regularly and as efficiently as possible. My word for 2016 is Ritual. I have been using a website called FlyLady.net that my mother in law pointed me towards years ago. I am finally making use of said website.
2016 brings several new adventures for me. Getting back on track with drawings is a priority as well as launching my new shop on Etsy Sacred Batik and Dye. I also am buckling down and sticking with Trim Healthy Mama to drop off my excess weight (the plan works! I lost 30 lbs last year) and stay healthy, also restarting my morning aerobic workouts. I am feeling confident with my homeschool preschool and will be tweaking it so I can work with my daughter AND work on my handmade business at the same time. Using Fly Ladys routines I created my own rituals down to the minutes to clean, eat, shower, exercise, homeschool, draw, and take me time - to name a few things. It starts tomorrow. I am all in. Do or do not, there is no try.
Sounds like you have some great goals set I still do FlyLady zone cleaning. I also do a little routine...morn, noon, night(Before bed) and it keeps things going smooth(and clean). Great start to the new year Amanda.
