Word of the year


This year I started something new. Or rather, I started a few new things. Chosing a "Word of the year" was one thing, and actually it became 2 words as I couldn't choose one. 

My words for 2023 are "Change" and "Abundance", and I really have changed this year, on the inside, and as a result my life feels more abundant now. When one fokus less on the outside appearence and more on how one feel life has a way to send more of what brings you joy and happiness in your way. All the inner change led me to a wish to create change in my surroundings, let go of what no longer serves me to give room for the new that I wish for to come into my life. 

One tool to create change is another new thing that I got ~ my Happy Planners, where I have plenty of space for planning - and being creative in decorating. It's so much easier to create changes when one can keep track of what's going on, and go back to check the progress. 

Change on the inside means that my real true self now is the main part of who I am, and even though I can sense and see that it makes some people uncomfortable it makes me more comfortable with me these days. I no longer feel that I have to live up to other people's expectations, and that really has made me feel happier with my choices and who I am. But this is an ongoing journey, and I know that more chages are coming up ahead. And that's a good thing.

So, what about the "Abundance" part? 
As I said, with the changes life does feel more abundant, if not in financial and material ways ~ yet. And I feel content in my life in a way I didn't do earlier. Everything is not always perfect, but the possibilities are unlimited, and maybe that's how I prefer it these days. I am looking for another home though, as circumstances have changed and this place no longer fits our needs. But it will show up, I am certain of that. I trust that I am guided to the perfect place (for us) at the perfect time - and for that I am grateful ..

Off to a good start


I have started. This is last week's spread, and I have pretty much filled it with things to do, plans, ideas, and more ~ and I am now officially hooked on this Happy Planner thing. I love how much easier it has made my life, and how much more fun it is to look in a decorated planner than in my old rather plain filofax. This was a great buy, all I need now is more stickers, lots and lots more... 

2023 is off to a good start, and I'm now planning for some interesting changes in my new life...and in my new Happy Planner.

Plan for a happy life


This is my new "hobby", Happy Planners for getting my life in order this year. One of my goals for 2023 is to get more structure in my life, and to plan for the changes I wish to see happen. When I found a video about Happy Planner in my flow on Youtube, it was like a sign to me. The one big reason I never have been able to stick to my plans before has been that my planners have been so boring that I never really opened them. These planners speak to my heart and to my creative side as they are meant to be decorated, which I love. This is going to be my year, to create changes and start living, not only existing. I plan to plan for a happy life this year....and every year from now on.
