It is the day before the New Year and all through my mind, thoughts are racing as they do every year at this time. What resolutions will I make and will I keep them this year? I have many doubts and I have many fears. Then one thought came quickly like the flash of a light, if I start something I like, I just might.
I had an idea and I have done some things in the past, so I put them together and I think they are a match.
Okay, enough with trying to be "poetic" :)
There are some things I have participated in over the past few summers that I really enjoyed.
Illustration Friday
Diva's Weekly Zentangle Challenge
I.C.A.D. Index Card a Day
ZIA-Journal-Prompts
Everyday Matters
These have been quite fun! I need something to relax me and help me de-stress. So this is my plan and I hope you will find time to join me or at least follow along on my journey.
I plan to find one word for each day. I will find a quote about that word or that includes that word. The quote may be from anywhere, knowing me I am sure many will come from the Bible. I plan to also draw a picture, doodle, or illustrate that word and/or quote in some way. I will mostly use index cards for this process because they are portable, cheap, and easy to store. I may find it necessary to use some other kind of paper or my art journal if the topic just needs to be in a different place.
So that is the plan, and I want to stay with it... Having you join me will be one way to help me keep this going! I hope you will!
I will start tomorrow January 1, 2013.... Come join me on this Journey :)

Vanessa - I just found this site - a link from a post in one of my Yahoo Groups, and I'm so glad that I did - I have been trying to decide what I really wanted to do this year and I think I am going to try your word a day and see how I do. Thanks for the inspiration.
