OLW 2020: February Reflections

Vision boards have never been my thing. Each year, I've skipped round Ali Edward's One Little Word exhortation to put one together - and it has often derailed my feeling able to keep up with the whole project. So, as the snowy hail battered the windows and my thoughts drifted to a warm rug and a hot water-bottle,  I was a little surprised to find myself responding to Ali's reminder today to complete one ...

Ali has often encouraged us that we don't need to think about it too much - just grab things that appeal to us - because their significance will become clear during the year. I had to smile when I finished arranging the collected bits and pieces and sat back to look: that somehow I'd managed to choose a picture of beach pebbles balanced on top of each other and, with no awareness at the time, placed alongside it the words 'Just let your pile of good things grow' ...

Hoping that there are little piles of good things growing in your life too. Thank-you, Honoré, for the reminder and for hosting a space for us all to share our travels, and to you all for popping in :).

What a pretty blog post.

I'm so glad that you stopped by my blog.

Such a beautiful layout. I particularly like the multi coloured jars of fruit juices. Enjoy your trip to see family and hopefully you'll find some time for those watercolour books soon. P xx

What wonderful photos on your vision board - the colours are so pretty! I'm with you on disliking the first couple of months of the year, it seems that we have had more than enough dark dreary days this year. Today we woke up to a sunny sky, and even though there is frost in the garden, I much prefer cold but bright to damp and grey. Roll on March!

You're not alone in struggling with the creation of mood boards ... but you have done a marvellous job here. It's so pretty and restful to the eye.

Mood boards or vision boards, I'm not keen on these. You have done a marvelous job of putting yours together. It's got an air of lightness & ease about it.

It's a lovely vision board, and the serendipity of the cairn and the quote is wonderful! I admire others' vision boards, but have never managed to complete one myself. Here's to regaining your vitality in March! Have a wonderful time visiting your grandchildren. We're off to see our Wisconsin crew on Friday.

Your vision board is gorgeous Alexa! It feels both calming and energizing at the same time. I had created one in January doing my PowerSheets goal setting, so haven't done one specific to Ali's class (yet). We'll see.

It's a lovely vision board & beautiful journaling. I'm so glad you took time to complete the assignment! I used several of the extra pages in my planner for vision boards. My niece Pun'kin was here & she did the same, so it was a lot of FUN & we had some great conversation.

Hope you are healthy & enjoying a wonderful beginning to March!

I am always resistant to vision boards as well... yours came out great and it's so springy and pretty... hope your weather improves and you feel more like yourself soon!
