Live Brave


  • February has been a busier than expected month and while I wasn't able to cross off all of my goals on my tending list I am pleased with the progress.  Like I did in January's review I am going to share my progress against the yearly goals that I set.

    Here is a recap of my yearly goals and what progress I have made against them this month:

    01| Waste less time in front of the TV and spend that time doing something that fires me up
    This continues to be one of my most favorite goals that I set for myself and while I have removed it from my Spring goals, I plan to continue using my evenings to make progress and refresh my body and soul. This month I have used my evenings to work on my project life album, read I don't want to wait anymore and I joined a netball team who train every Wednesday evening.

    02 | Impact my wider community by raising £4053 for A21 to use to help set someone free from human trafficking while continuing with my local volunteering
    I continue to volunteer as a counselor but haven't made any progress on raising money for A21. I am going to make some serious progress on this one in March.

    03 | Learn and explore what it means for me to truly live a life that is whole
    This month I focused on learning to listen to my body. Every day I took the time to ask myself what my body needed and then I did that. It has been an amazing experience and I plan to share more of it in a separate post next month.

    04 | Dive deeper into my relationship with God and remember that is is about relationship and not about performing, tasks or legalism
    I have continued with my daily devotional and prayer but didn't make a whole load of progress with the bible study.  I have some good plans in place for this next month and am looking forward to seeing how this grows.

    05 | Figure out what it means to care for myself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and how to do it more often.
    I have touched on this one above already but it is worth adding that this is going to have to be an ongoing focus for me. This took me being intentional every single day but it was worth the effort I had to put in.

    06 | Nourish my body well more consistently and focus on building strength and flexibility in my body
    I am glad to say that I have been pretty consistent with exercise this month. Its only been two or three sessions each week but they have been consistent.  Food on the other hand.....the first two weeks were totally on point but the last two weeks not so much.

    07| Share meaningful content and impact others by purposefully using my blog and any platform God gives me
    I have managed to share about one post a week but it hasn't been the meaningful content that I had planned.

    08 | Research and create a plan for my long term/retirement needs
    This month I have continue to set a budget and track my weekly spending against that budget. I have also found an online tool to help me begin assessing my needs and requirements for my financial future.

    09 | Cultivate richer relationships while taking the time to make new ones
    The plan was to meet up with two separate group of friends this month but the second get together got cancelled at the last minute.  I have however begun making some new friends at my new netball group and I am looking forward to continue working on those.

    10 | Preparing myself to be a wife and mother while trusting and waiting on God's timing for this area of my life
    This goal has changed slightly for me this month and while the core of this goal hasn't changed, my perspective on it has.

    As part of the spring refresh section in the powersheets, I have changed my yearly goals to quarterly goals. This means that I will share my refreshed goals in my next post.

    Today I am sharing my Project Life spread for week four of 2017.

    The one thing that I have been intentional about so far this year is getting in a good mix of pictures and stories. I am challenging myself to take a photo every day and before I go to bed at night I ask myself what story from that day I would want to share with someone.  I then write down that short story using keywords or a phrase and that way when it comes time to pull my spread together I have some story options ready.

    I'm sticking with my title card from Pink Paislee and most of the items in this spread are from Ali Edwards Story kits.


    For the first 3x4 card I used some of Ali Edwards stamps as jumping off points, capturing four little stories from this week.  The third 3x4 card I made using the Elle's Studio Jordan Alpha stamps to stamp out the word Netball.  The writing next to that just captures how I felt about myself and the game after training that night. The last card is a photo of me relaxing with an at home mud mask one evening.
     

    The bottom row shares three stories from week four. The first is a Friday afternoon break with my parents at a local garden center for coffee and some cake, the second is a photo of the x-ray that the hospital took of my mouth for my pre-surgery visit in a couple weeks time and the third is a story about the evening that I spent with a friend eating dinner, catching up on life and watching a movie. 

    I have to say, I really am glad that I decided to do project life again this year.

    I know, I know....this spread is only week 3 but I think this it my favorite spread so far. I love the mix of handwriting and type font and I love the colour combinations.  


    For the top right hand card I used one of Ali Edwards stamps as a jumping off point - What I know to be true - and captured four things from the week that fit the thought. They included how important it is for me to be with people and not try to do life alone, how a little time spent preparing at the end of the week makes a huge difference to the week ahead, the importance of listening to inspiring and uplifting messages and finally a reminder of how when strangers come together to fight for a cause, to stand up for injustice, to raise their voices that it creates a community and allows people to be heard.

    The next three 3x4 cards are all in relation to Obama leaving the White House.  I have never really followed politics all that much but I really do love these two.  I love how they love each other, how they treat people and how down to earth they seem.  The journaling captures my thoughts and feelings on these two more than on the politics of it all.


    The last 3x4 card talks about the new hairstyles I have been trying after getting stuck into Game of Thrones. I love all the different braids and prettiness of all the hairstyles in the TV series. During this week I bought myself some new slippers and included a little reminder to practice kindness.
