Intentions for the Week- Week 10 in 2022

Hello, MONDAY! 

I can’t believe we are 10 weeks into this year. Whoa.

We are about to eat birthday some cake so I am going to keep this short!  Let’s figure out what our Intentions for the Week are!

Currently February 2022:

So much happening in the world in February. We are experiencing some heavy times and then we are also deep in life here (baseball season started!).  It was really hard to keep good boundaries with my phone usage. There’s the urge to feel connected (know what’s happening in the world) and the need to be disconnected (to live in the present). I set limits and timers.

My stress/grief/sadness/feelings went into cleaning my junk drawer (much overdue) and I spent a lot of working in my yard and zen garden. Spring is around the corner.

Here are my February pages in my Currently Workbook

Valentine’s always makes me think of my Mom. She showed me what unconditional love felt/looked like and it’s been hard to live without that kind of love. I am slowly learning how to give myself unconditional love.

I used a combo of colored pencils, pens and washi tape for this page.

Intentions for the Week- Week 9 in 2022

Hello, MONDAY! 

I did meal prep this weekend. Made myself some chicken soup too. Chores happened, house cleaning, family movie night, as well as a basketball game, a funeral, and baseball practice. I have loads of laundry all over my bedroom floor right now but my fridge is organized and that makes me happy. I also had two long phone calls with friends that filled my soul. Life is such a gift. 

Look! Here I am doing some meal prep:
