Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week Workbook by Tracy Benjamin now on sale!

Intentions for the Week- Week 2 in 2026

SECOND WEEK OF THE YEAR!  How are we feeling??  We spent the weekend IN. It’s been raining here, and I am still kinda under the weather. I should also say that I am OVER the weather too. I miss the sun! 

I did go through my closets and gather stuff to get rid of. Are we feeling like purging all of our stuff, too? Let’s see how much we can free ourselves of at the start of the year. We still have our holiday decor up…maybe I’ll add that to the TO DO list this week.

I was busy packing up Currently Workbooks this week! 

If you are an international friend, you can get one through Blurb. 

And if you’re not ready to commit to the whole practice, you can download the template to make your own binder OR use it as a digital planner.

This will be my third year using this planner cover. It was originally red with flowers. 

I painted it using black gesso and paint pens. Hooray for DIY. 

I spent some time this week going through my past workbooks.
