2014 - A New Year, a Fresh Start

Happy New Year everyone. Are you looking forward to 2014?

After a very hectic, up and down 2013 I am looking forward to 2014, a fresh start, a year filled with love and laughter, a year of new beginnings........ and to that end I thought I would share some of the projects I have in my diary this year.

Firstly I am so excited and thrilled to share some exciting news. Last year I guest posted on the blog "Your Heart Makes a Difference" hosted by the lovely Louise Gale, which you can re-visit here. Well Louise has asked me to be a regular contributor to this wonderful uplifting blog on a monthly basis. I am delighted to be included in this group of awesome people and can't wait to post my first offering. In the meantime head on over to Louise's blog to read my intro and to find out more about the beautiful heart-centred musings that make up Your Heart Makes a Difference. My first post goes live on 26 January.

You know that I like to keep busy, trying out new ideas, participating in group art projects and learning and sharing as much as I can so here are the other projects that I have signed up for so far. Click on each title to be taken to the appropriate websites:-

Book of Days 2014 Session 1- hosted by Effy Wild

Well before the last BOD session of 2013 finished I signed up for the first session of 2014. I love Effy's processes and the whole Book of Days community are a welcoming, generous and loving group. My Book of Days has become my constant, my way to look back on my year/s and reflect on where I have been and how far I have come. With weekly videos and connection with the group you can't go wrong with this one.

Life Book 2014 - hosted by Tamara LaPorte

This is my first year in Life Book and to say I am excited is an understatement. I have heard so much about it that I can't wait to jump right in. With so many lessons from so many different teachers I know I will learn so much this year.

Big Dreams, Small Wonders - hosted by Louise Gale

This course is all about finding out what your hopes and dreams and ultimately your goals are for the year or years ahead. It runs for 6 weeks and is a lovely process of letting go of the past year and moving forward with love and grace.

  Your Heart Makes a Difference - hosted by Louise Gale

As I mentioned at the start of this post, This is the website where you can be inspired by Louise and the other contributors to live a heart-centred, creative life.

The Documented Life Project

This is another new project I have signed up for. It is free and it is a planner but so much more, with weekly prompts and a lot of inspiration for keeping a diary/planner/ art journal all in one.

Creative Jumpstart - hosted by Natalie Kalbach

A month long course which is full of videos and prompts to start your creative year off with a bang.
  • 23 videos from 21 artists, or over 3 1/2 hours of videos
  • A chance to win giveaways from the CJS sponsors
  • Participation in a lively community via the CJS forum
  • Access to all videos and CJS forum until November 2014


I am so excited and looking forward to everything that presents itself in 2014. Let's get going....

I loved your post about beginnings and I tried to leave a comment (you had a typo "you will lose your wary" I believe you meant WAY) but the comment box never came up. I was amazed that such an awesome post did not get any comments...then I found out why...I wanted to tell you what an awesome post it was so I hit your blog. I know Louise Gale from when she lived in NJ. I also see from this post you and I have a lot in common - I signed up for BOD and also for Effy's other course which I never got started - I am dying to do it but time didn't permit (and I think she recommended doing Boot Camp first which I still haven't managed.) I also follow Julie Balzer and Nathalie Kalbach. I will look forward to your post on Louise's blog on the 26th. I also get a lot out of art journaling. If you have a minute here is my post about new beginnings for 2014. http://preciouspagesbypaula.blogspot.com/2014/01/welcome-2014.html
