Planner Peace in Paradise: A Year in Review

A very interesting journey began for me in April.  I started a bullet journal in a composition book pictured in the bottom left corner.  By August I was ready for the real thing and moved into the A5 size Pentalic Sketch dot grid.  In November I expanded and changed to add an A4 Pentalic sketch dot grid.  The evolution has been substantial......


I had lots of supplies and I thought I had arrived at planner peace after 5 months...who was I kidding?


This is where I am in a homemade 40 cent planner/padfolio turned rogue traveler's notebook.  Its too big.  I want something smaller, a pocket size with wallet insert, perhaps......


Now to decide where to get it.  So far I have looked at Galen Leather, Sunday Leather Craft and Chic Sparrow.  They are all beautiful and I am having a very tough time pulling the trigger and making an order.

For the rest of the year I have had 2....the A4 I walk around with that contains my day to day, weeklies and wallet and the A5 I am using for collections and other long term goals and spreads.

It is so much fun to embrace my inner child with coloring and play.....stay tuned as we l.e.a.p. into 2018.

700 Hours of Learning....start now!

I have received the reading list and am happy to have just finished Yoga Sequencing:  Designing Transformative Yoga Classes by Mark Stephens.  This book was suggested to me and for obvious reason, it is incredibly informative.  As a beginning yoga teacher it provided great pictures and foundations for infinite classes that I am now able to create.  It will continue to be on my bookshelf as an excellent reference,and I could reread it still getting useful information a second or third time.  Now I will delve further into this genre of reading with Yoga Anatomy by L...

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
