The Infertile Mind

Getting cozy in the new year...

I've heard many times that people pick a word for the year.  So far I've got 3 that are coming to mind.  (Maybe I'll need a word of the month to expand on the idea...) The first one I want to share with you is COZY.  I want to focus on adding more personal touches around my house to make it feel warm and inviting.

The basket pictured in the photo is a new addition to the house.  It has a matching trunk to go with it.  The weave and texture are what drew me to it and it goes really well with the warm colors of our upstairs loft-like area.  Both acquired at Target, if you wanna know.

More sneak peeks to other changes coming soon.  What new changes are you making in the new year?

A peek into my art journal.....

While I've been working with my wonderful life coach Jenn Lee, she recommended I try an exercise where I use art to visualize my guides or support system, possibly in the form of a tree.  Jenn shared her post about doing hers to help me with this process.

As I started to paint my tree, I also noticed it turned into a head.  Like a strong buck's head with large antlers.  While I didn't write down specific people on the limbs/sections, here are some phrases that came out in the process.

"Strong Antlers for Protection"

"Little Possibilities Growing All the Time"

"Planting Roots to Keep Me Grounded"

"Always Reaching and Seeking the Light"

"Some Opportunities Will Grow Alongside of Each Other"

"Life is best defined for me in the colors of nature."

"Life is colorful."

"Life is messy."

"Life is not linear."
