5 things for the weekend 22.47
journal your word of the year, noodles, book club news, start a bullet journal
I’m not quite there with my word for 2023 yet, but I have gone through the workbook from Susannah Conway, and I am currently letting things marinate. I have a couple of strong contenders, we’ll see how I feel about them over the next day or so.
I’m also reflecting on my creative year, using the worksheet I designed. it gave me quite a bit of insight into my art and craft for the past year. I was excited to find that I completed 75% of all the projects that I started, which is probably the first time that has happened! I now understand a bit better what gets in the way of me getting projects done; I’ll write a longer post about that soon.
You can find the free worksheet here for your own use. Just use the password Creative23 to access it. If you want to share with your friends, kindly direct them to sign up at this link. Thanks!
I’ll be reviewing my reading year next. That’s always a fun one!
