Nov 21 Planned Neglect

Last month, I neglected to write to you. It wasn't planned neglect, as this is an entirely new concept to me that I want to share with you this month. Aptly, it's quite appropriate for this time of year when so many extras land in our lap.

There are so many creative ways to track our gratitude and habits. If you go to Google Images and search for "gratitude log" or "habit tracker" a seemly infinite number of beautiful ideas will appear. Through trial and error in my dot grid bullet journals, I developed a tracking format that really works for me. Because many of you have asked, I will share the simple format that I use, no special artistic skills required.

The temperatures are getting cooler here in Michigan. The garden is slowing down. The days are getting shorter. Autumn is in the air. Transitions are upon us.

May 29 Acceptance

While things are still uncertain and sometimes scary, I feel less anxious in general. I try to find acceptance in our current circumstances. Acceptance isn't a passive "I cannot do anything" mindset. It's more of a "what can I do now" frame of mind.

For 2020, I would like to explore the possibility of finding an accountability partner or creating a small accountability group. If this is something you are interested in, please comment below or reply to this message. I am looking for women who are available during the school day with a strong interest in personal growth. You need not have school aged children to participate. You do need to bring positive energy and motivation.

I have always wanted to be a more disciplined person. You know, the type that does their homework on Friday, so they can have the weekend free to play.
