Word of The Year
One of the ways that I try to bring more magic into my life is to choose a word or theme for each new year. It’s an idea I picked up from Elise Cripe via Ali Edwards, and 2020 will be my eighth time choosing a word.
- 2020: Devoted
- 2019: Energy
- 2018: Flow
- 2017: Embrace
- 2016: Light
- 2015: Grace
- 2014: Abundance
- 2013: Reach
NaBloPoMo
In 2017 I completed National Blog Post Writing Month for the first time. You can see all my posts from that month of daily writing here.
Birthday Lists
For a few years now, I’ve made lists of things I’d love to complete by my next birthday. Usually the things on the lists are something fun I’d like to do, or a skill I’d like to learn, or both!
30 Before 30 | 29 Before 29 | 26 Before 26 | 25 Before 25 | 24 Before 24 | 22 Before 22
Book Club
For the last few years I’ve set – and met! – a goal of reading 75 books in the year. I write about the best books I’ve read every few months right here. Also, you can always follow along with my progress on my GoodReads profile.
Videos
One of my favourite projects is to make little videos of my daily adventures, edit them together and set them to music. I love to have a little snapshot of what my life looked like at any given time in my life. I usually make videos every time I go on a trip, which you can see all together here. I made seasonal videos when I was in Korea in 2014 and early 2015 which you can see right here. In 2012 I made monthly videos.
Photo Walks
Sometimes I take a walk with my camera looking for colours or patterns, and then post the photos here on the blog.
Red | Orange | Yellow | Green | Purple | Pattern | All
