 Currently February 2023

Hello Hello! What a short month, huh?  Let’s see what I did this month. Well FIRST, I hosted a Currently Workbook Zoom meeting. My intention with this practice is to help people finish every month of their Currently Workbook this year. I will be working on my spreads with YOU and we will have a whole year of tracking our months together under our belts.  For more information, sign up for my newsletter and you’ll be notified of the next one!

I had fun picking things out for my spread this month.

I decided to shake things up and use RED on my spread. All of my past years have been pinks or purples. 

I did this live on the call.

Last year’s spread was about UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (see below)

I am learning to give myself the unconditional love that I need/needed so I made this page about that.

I used a part of my Color Therapy zine for the RED.

All the good things that happened this month. I realize I am wrong about my duolingo score.

It’s actually 75.  I am brushing up on Italian!

Been having some good salads lately.

I did meal prep three times this month which means I am actively working on taking the time to nourish myself.
