Tracey-anne's Blog: December 30, 2018

Wow! A year has passed already. I honestly can't believe how time flies.

In 2016, I was settling into my new home. In 2017, I went through a dark night of the soul, waking up to things, situations that no longer served my highest good. In 2018, I began my healing, and now, I'm really looking forward to entering 2019 to further heal and complete my passions, creative adventures in both art and writing. It has taken so much strength and reflection to get this far and I'm really excited, what an incredible journey of learning, thus far.

This new year, I will, I will, I will:

complete my second book and self-publish by the summer
create canvas art
create an oracle deck
add more writing on Wattpad
complete my online classes

pamper self
exercise more
drink more water
beautify areas around me

Create a Happiness Jar

Elizabeth Gilbert, an author best known for her 2006 memoir,

Eat, Pray, Love started the idea.

Use a journal to stick notes in from the jar. Add photos, flowers, etc. Create a journal for every year made from pure happy moments. It really does help to remember all the little blessings given.

Not only will this practice help you learn to be grateful for the small, every day, sweet moments in your life and to be present in the moment, but it can provide comfort and inspiration on those awful days. All you have to do is sit down and pull out one of your notes. Wrap those small but shining jewels of happiness around your soul and let it provide you with the knowledge that you will have those special moments in the future as well. By recording the best parts of your life, you can change the way you remember each unique day.

Gratitude

Wish Tree

This is a favorite of mine, the beautiful wishing tree. I keep one in my living room, I hang affirmations, crystals, pretty wish tags from the slender branches. Eye candy and lifts me up every day. Too gorgeous to be used just at weddings. *winks* Pictures below...
