The time between…

There are times in life that feel otherworldly. Almost unreal. In my opinion, this includes the time between the holidays and the new year. This year I wanted to journal through the time between. Join me for these daily prompts if you wish. I look forward to discovering my intentions for 2024 during the time between. Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/2ndhandspirited/ for the daily prompts, also available below.

Beginning December 26, I will post a daily prompt each morning through the new year.
The time between the holidays and the new year often has a restlessness about it. The feelings from the holidays linger and blend with feelings toward the future. This can be a time of overwhelming emotion. Join me for daily journaling during the time between. Each day will include a prompt. You are encouraged to interpret the prompt in any way you feel comfortable. You can use the single word, art journal, or even free writing. This is an activity meant to help ease us from the chaos of the holidays and into the new year.

Word/Intentions of 2022

Word of the Year 2022

This year I am trying to keep my “word” and my intentions in my mind. Last year, there were times when I could not remember what my word was! Last year was the first time I wrote out my intentions or my mission statement for the year. That worked really well for me. I was writing as though I had already achieved what I wanted, as if my vision had come to fruition. This year, I scripted my vision and made sure to include my “word” of the year to remind me of what I want to accomplish and why.

My word this year is DEVELOP. I want to develop many things I have already put in to place. I don’t feel my life is in need of any massive shifts, but there are some aspects that need tending. If I want my life to be a garden, I need to keep honing my gardening skills! So it goes for 2022. I want to make sure that I can continue to develop my life personally and professionally.

I am trying out a monthly workbook page or check-in. A few years ago, Café Analog created a monthly check in, and I really felt like it was helpful for keeping my word in mind. Though this workbook page is not quite as extensive, I am hoping it will keep me motivated to keep my intentions and word in focus!

The Return of December Daily

I hope this post find you well. The past two years have certainly gone by much more quickly and chaotically than expected. This year, I have made the conscious decision to dedicate time to completing my December Daily challenge and updating the blog. The time that has passed has been filled with changes and challenges that have sent my creative spirit in to hibernation. The excitement of the holiday season and the new year just around the corner reached deep within to inspire and awaken and reinvigorate 2ndhandspirited. I hope that you will join.

Best, G
