My right now story - I love that I can capture it almost like a photo. Building these month on month is producing a cute bundle of snap shots. Do you have a way of documenting snap shots of your day?
Having an assignment due at the beginning of the month has meant that all the other things that have needed doing had to be put aside. So here I sit, not yet having even decided on this months Intentions. but I know that if I don't do it now, Ill get swept away with the things I know are coming and will find myself at the end of the month Intentional-less.
Here goes then:
- Intention to learn – Complete TMA03 and achieve a minimum of 70% for it.
- Intention to get God’s word into my heart – memorise a new bible verse.
- Intention to improve my physical fitness – Complete ten gym sessions.
- Intention to change my body and my health – Focus on clean eating throughout the month and achieve my one and a half stone award.
- Intention to create – Complete my One Little Word project and complete the Gifts of Imperfection course.
- Intention to delight my soul – Have some fun this month and work on a new art project.
- Intention to live a life of gratitude - Complete my gratitude journal.
When life gets tough, I try to focus on things that make me happy. Here are ten things right now which bring a smile to my face:
- Morning cuddles with my Smidge. Each and every single morning. It's the best way to start my day!
- Spending time in the pool - relaxing or exercising.
- Working on my art journal and One Little Word project.
- Reading in bed.
- Dancing my heart out in Zumba.
- Lunching with the ladies at work.
- Seeing my gratitude journal coming together.
- Enjoying breakfast in my conservatory.
- Visiting with friends and catching up over coffee.
- Exploring photos on Instagram.
These are things making me happy right now.
As I look at this each and every morning as a reminder for the journey that I am on, I thought it would be fun to share it on my blog.
How do you keep yourself motivated and focused?
I love handbags but have been really good and haven't purchased any new ones for months now. I have simply been rotating the bags that I have and making the most of them...saving me money and space in the process.
However, i started to notice that my go to daily bag has seen better days and should probably be thrown out. The fabric is coming away from the handles and the lining has many tare in it. So, I decided to take a quick look around the shopping centre near work and happened to come across this beautiful satchel. And best of all it was on sale for only £5.
Isn't it just beautiful. I love the color! One of the hassles with having a love of handbags is the dreaded moving everything that I've collected in them from one handbag to the other. It's sort of the downside to a predominantly positive experience...hehehe.
This is what you would normally find in my bag. My work phone and pass, a plaster for those pesky blisters, some tinted Vaseline, two lipsticks, painkillers, bobby pins, a mirror, a small notepad, hair-ties and hand sanitizer.
One day I was sitting sorting through my handbag when I thought that there has to be an easier way to do this than how I was doing it. There are so many cool inventions out there that someone must have come across this dilemma before and created a solution to it. So I started searching the world wide web. It took me a matter of seconds to come across this handbag organizer on eBay.....and at a cost of £2.99 I couldn't pass it up.
I am so impressed with this thing. It has numerous pockets of differing size, it has zips and rivets and is made of really good quality fabric. It's also a major help when changing handbags as all I need to do is lift this organizer out and transfer it to the new bag.
All in all a great purchase. What do you currently have in your handbag?
