I am in the last month of my forties - I have a lot of mixed emotions about this upcoming number of 50 and
what it means to me - that I am only now starting to sift through and take note of.
I decided for my own self care and growth that instead of sitting down and writing a list of
things I never attained or wish I had accomplished before I turn 50 to instead create a more intention setting list. So it is a two part - first starting on Oct 4 and for
the next 30 days I am doing a daily creative activity - a
little 3x4 card of a goal, Dream, hope or idea I would like to
accomplish IN MY 50th year - so attainable ideas that by listing and a
thoughtful putting out into the Universe I will be inspired to push
forward and attain - and two to keep a larger list in progress and find a way to creatively explore and keep track of my year as I go along ... a journal maybe?
For as I was sitting and thinking about these little cards and making that list I ended coming up with a much larger list - that may still grow and change, as even now as I read it and reread it is sparking ideas and action - just as I want it to. :)
