notes for the journey. january begins.

 

jam + mascarpone + fresh doughnuts (a very good thing) . lola, seattle, washington

i have been collecting ideas, posts, thoughts during the last few weeks as the new year has approached and arrived. a few that have caught my eye and made me pause (or want to participate):

jen lee's journal along . i am looking forward to opening this journal and writing from my gut this month.

pen's farewell to fear . stay tuned for a photo of my letter inspired by pen.

leonie's invitation to create your goddess year . downloaded this and plan to give myself the gift of time to write in it very soon.

lisa's view of each day as a living prayer . these words keep twirling around in my mind as i look for ways to bring the intention back into each day.

susannah's new desktop wallpaper . this image + words has been a much needed reminder these last few days.

glimpes into katie's journal . i want to reach through the screen and touch these pages. and then i want to invite myself to katie's studio and create create create alongside her. (how i wish i had the time to participate in misty's art journal along this month. maybe when this writing is done i will jump in.)

spending time reading habit . hula is posting over there this month and i was reminded to add it to my daily reading. how i love this blog.

and you? have you found anything lately that has caused you to pause or want to participate? please share...

i'm writing along with jen this month, that has me excited.

i found mention of the happiness project in a ladies mag at work,
i copied down the prompts for each month and plan to bring more happy into my life as well.

and i've joined a flickr group, a year of living positively...taking a photo a day to stop to appreciate the good, it coincides nicely with the happiness project.

I don't know links off-hand, but ..

@gwenbell's mindfulness challlenge

@leah_art's Creative Every Day challenge

the 30-day yoga practice with Zen and the Art of Peacekeeping

Mondo Beyondo - yay!

I'm afraid to look at your links .. though I did see the Journal Along and really wanted to join in (except I forgot to order the journal - maybe there is still time) and I also looked at Goddess Leonie's journal but did not know how I could get it printed if I don't have a printer at home.

Happy new year Liz!
Like Elizabeth, I'm really excited about www.themindfulist.com
I've also enrolled in Mondo Beyondo, and am hoping that my 10 month old takes long enough naps that I can dive into Jen Lee's "Take Me With You" journey over the next few days.
(Guess who is procrastinating from finishing off her thesis amendments?!)

So much goodness over here. I so want to lay my words down, inspired by Pen.
and Jen's journal, is calling my name.
