Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up

                                                                    Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up


While visiting Daisy Yellow today, the quote that introduced her post was so bang on.

“It's not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What's hard, she said, is figuring out what you're willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.”
Shauna Niequist

I know that I could accomplish so much more. But, I get caught up online or watching a show I'm just lukewarm about or other time-wasters.

I chose for my word of the year "JOY" and part of its power may be to force me to face my time-wasting and concentrate more on what brings me joy - art and writing.

At Daisy Yellow, i Hanna and Creative Every Day, the goal is to choose a habit of creating every day - whether it is collages, painting, drawing, or photography. I am following their lead. I want to create daily - even if it is only  a sketch or taking a photo.

Here is an excellent article by Anne Lamott on creating the rich life you deserve - "Time Lost and Found".

I am already on the way with creating daily. Here are some of my pieces:

I am taking part in 12 x 12 - with the goal of writing 12 picture picture books by the end of the year. I have already written one and began another. I am so looking forward to this journey.

I am also starting a new blog "A Mother's Makeover" I turn 61 tomorrow and I am so tired of being tired, overweight and in pain. I really have to do something! I have tried here to start 100 days to better health, to walk more, eat better. But without much success. 2013 is going to be different. My son and daughter are helping in this journey and I should have the blog ready by next weekend. Wish me luck.

Wishing everyone a blessed New Year filled with               creativity!
