May Goals

 

It's a brand new month and it's starting out wonderfully. Well, minus a panic attack. I made my bullet journal May calendar spread and my May habit trackers last night, wished Ástrid and Koji a happy May at midnight, wished my co-workers a happy May at the start of my shift and went outside to take pretty pictures of flowers this afternoon. Flores, in Português!

I love making little goal lists, so I thought I'd do one for May. I'm curious about something, what kind of blog layouts do you prefer to see? Pictures that are solo for easy pinning or group pictures that are a layout as if they're in a magazine? I love both, so I'm torn on which to do for my blog. Give me your thoughts!

Here are my goals... 

🌸 Blog a LOT more! I miss blogging so much. So, how do I fix that? Blog more, of course! I took my bullet journal and just started writing down post inspiration and SO much came to me. 

🌸 Do more light exercise! I say light because my ankle is still swollen, but my Doctor even told me to try working for about an hour, so I can finally get exercise in again. I'm putting together my fitness wishlist, so expect that soon!

🌸 Participate in Mermay! My drawing isn't anything special, but I feel like I can do so much more after watching Koji draw. Of course, he's a professional artist and he does make drawing look SO easy, but still! The fact is, whether my skill is good or bad, I love being creative and that's what counts!

🌸 Clean... a LOT! Okay, so this is often on my goal list. I'm messy, okay? I also have ADHD and have an incredibly hard time getting started cleaning, focusing on cleaning and finishing this and pretty much anything else. Mix that with OCD and cleaning is hard. 

🌸 Take better care of my skin! I have rosacea and right now it's manageable, but there's times when I get a flare up and I really struggle. So, this month, I want to take the best care of my skin that I can!

🌸 Be more spiritual! I haven't connected very well with my spiritual side lately, until recently when I found a new matron Goddess, who I'll definitely talk about here soon! But I want to do that and so much more. I want to read my tarot, write in my grimoire, have Ástrid do a pendulum reading on me and so much more.

🌸 And as always, be the best wife, mommy and friend that I can be and help my little family be happy and healthy! They are truly my everything! 

Alright friends, tell me, what are your May goals?! I can't wait to hear them! 

Welcome, December!

 

Welcome, December! It's one of the most magickal times of the year. ❄ It's time for cozy coats, peppermint hot chocolate, the Yule tree going up and spending warm, happy holidays with your family and or friends! 

I haven't been feeling very good lately. 😕 I've been very disassociated and my executive dysfunction has been worse than ever. I've really been struggling. So! I hope this new month will help me pull myself together.

I have a few little goals for this month and they are...

So... Goodbye, November and Welcome, December! May this month bring love, good health, good luck and joy to everyone. 😁 

Do you have any December goals? Do you like December? Do you celebrate a holiday this month? Tell me EVERYTHING!

October 16th New Moon Dream Board

 

こんにちは! Oi! Hello! Today I am bringing you my New Moon Dream Board for the October 16th Super New Moon! I was inspired by the lovely Michelle of MooeyAndFriends who posted "How to Celebrate the Libra Super New Moon". I used to do dream boards every Full Moon, but Michelle reminded me that the New Moon is an even better time for them! 

What am I manifesting this New Moon? Of course, lots of love as it's something very important to me, to love and be loved. The same goes for me and my little family being healthy! Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

Money is also important! Whether it's making money by doing surveys, tarot readings or just because, I want to focus on more money making opportunities this month.

Enjoying a warm cup of tea, while relaxing, enjoying the ritual of slowing down and doing something I enjoy that's calm and peaceful is really important to me and it's something I've been trying to do more of! I want to continue this all month long! 

As for exercising, earlier this year I was doing 1 - 1 1/2 hours of exercise every day and was feeling GREAT, but I stopped this a little after my birthday. I'm sad about this and want to start up again. 

Since it's Autumn, I want to work on cooking warm meals and everything Halloween and Samhain related. I bought everything I need to make feijoada for the first time and we've been watching horror movies like 0.0Mhz and JU-ON: Origins. 

Finally, I want to work on journaling more. This is more than just journaling, it's being kept to a routine, working on scheduling and goals. I plan on using the Fabulous app a LOT to help me with my goals, as well as my new bullet journal that I've been working on.

Do you make dream boards? Show me yours! Leave a link!
