July 2017 Bujo

As we start August I come to the end of the first journal I ever finished....and I have been trying off and on since I was a teen.
Here I am trying my weeklies as a month view.  I have many appointments that happen every week and I don't want to keep rewriting the same thing over and over.  That defeats the productivity of the whole bullet journal system in my opinion, plus I want to draw and doodle other things.  This months doodles are inspiration from #365doodleswithjohannafritz.

Then I sort of ran out of space for my running type list and I don't like where the check boxes are, they became confusing.  So I gave this up in search of a dutch door solution.



It moves in 2 places and the dates are just a thin strip which I taped down with a tiny piece of blue glitter washi.  Underneath I have running lists for the various projects and businesses I am part of and need to track.
The flowers and leaves are some things my mom cut out for me using her cricut I expect.  I am going to use some of them in the future for stencils.....

My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self Care This one resonated with me. I could hardly put it down and that is unusual for me with a book in this genre. It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...
