** February Update for My Word of the Year **
Have you picked a word of the year, made a new years resolution, made decisions that you wanted to stick, and then... slowly.. as the days and weeks go by you forget about them?
Me too.
This year I selected Intentional as my word and I really didn't know why. I didn't have a clear thought on how that would look or be for me. But as the days of January went on I realized this is an amazing word because I can Intentionally do the things that are important to me
Intentionally Make new habits and break old habits. Make changes with intention (and purpose). And intentionally discard things that don't serve me anymore.

What things do you feel you want to work on in Feb? Make a list like mine. Put into your planner or just share in the comments below. Writing it down makes it more real
Here are the things I'm going to be Intentional about in February
- UFO - Working on a UFO - I managed one in Jan. That is good.. not great, but better than none so I'll take it!!
- Schedule - I've shifted my work load around over the last 4 months, and it's finally starting to settle into a new routine.. I'm not there yet, but I will be. If you need to shuffle how you do things, start figuring it out this month.
- Sew or Stitch at least 10 minutes a Daily - I want to fit in more of this. I spend alot of time writing, and managing and not much sewing some days.
- Trying new things - I started back to cross stitch. I didn't give it much chance a year ago. But this time it feels good. So I'm going to stitch each day if I can. What do you want to try? Do it this month!
- Tidy Up Daily - I'm pretty good at this, but I want to be sure i do it. If you have not being doing this give it a try for 10 min in an area of your home that is a clutter magnet. You will feel so good!
- Walking - Our Jan was mild and that meant I got in a lot of walking. Some days were icky.. like yesterday. Very gray, but no wind. So I did a 30 min walk and it felt so good.
- Yoga - My good friend Cindy told me she was doing Yoga with Adriene's 30 day challenge in January. She kept me updated and by about day 15 I decided to try it too! and I LOVE IT.. this is what I've been looking for. I'm in 'Right Mind / Right Place' to do it. Every day in February I'll follow her Feb 2020 playlist https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene/videos
- Reading - I want to read more intentionally. I tend to read a little in one book, then jump to another book.. very disjointed. I'm going to pick something and read just that for a few days (unless it's deadly boring, then I'll close it up) What are your reading goals?
- Being Intentional daily - that means enjoying even the simple things. Putting my whole focus on that instead of doing something while doing another task .. multi-tasking is highly overrated. We often do neither task to our best ability or enjoy them. Ok.. cleaning the bathrooms while listening to something is good multi-tasking.. I'll give you that one!
- Cook New Things - Cooking is creative, and I need to be Intentional about picking things to make. And then making them. I tend to do very easy things and not much variety at times. I started Kitchen Adventures, Come join me!
