It’s the first Saturday of the month and I promised I’d post about creativity. BUT it’s also the beginning of the year when I make an image to inspire me in the year ahead. SO I thought I’d combine both posts into one.

2025: Goals with Grace
This is the time of year that we see a lot of reflection, but I don’t make resolutions. I want to be clear about that. Resolutions are unrealistic more often than not. Instead, I set an image or thought to guide my creative journey for the year ahead and I think this year’s key word is GRACE. Let me explain. Continue reading
2024: Reflection and goals
I like to think of myself as an encourager, but sometimes I need the reminders myself. I’ve seen a lot of reflection with creatives this year leading to anxiety (including myself) and I thought I would address that. Continue reading
2023: Goals and secrets
I don’t like making resolutions. Instead, I make creative goals and an image to remind me of my path all year long. Read on as I review the year behind, look forward to the year ahead, and spill the beans (just a tiny spill) on a secret. Continue reading
Looking forward (glancing back)
It’s that time of year again when I review the past year’s accomplishments, make a graphic for the year ahead, and set a focus.

Light, Dark, & 2021
I’m not big on resolutions at the beginning of the year (they come and go too easily), but I do regular goal setting instead. I also create a graphic for the year that I’ve shared every year for the past few years now. I actually have TWO for this year, but I may ramble a bit first to explain my thoughts behind them (forgive me if I do). Continue reading
New Decade, Same Journey
I hate resolutions. I stopped making them as a teenager when I realized I was making the same ones every year and not actually accomplishing them (usually about my weight which I’ve NEVER been happy with). At some point, I started using New Year’s as an assessment tool instead. And over the last few years, I started creating a graphic image that set my goal for the year. Today, I have a new one. Continue reading
New Year, New Goal
I’m not usually one for setting goals for the new year as they feel forced and unrealistic. BUT that has changed over the last couple of years. I’ve started setting goals for my writing with an image I create and set as my computer’s wallpaper for the year to encourage and prod me ever onward. Continue reading
