New year journaling & museum sketchbook studies

Hi friends! I’m happy to be back after a restful holiday break during which I caught up on sleep and dog sat a delightfully energetic pup. January has grown to be my favorite month of winter—a peaceful, reflective time when I can listen to my internal desires and morph them into plans of action.

Today I want to share with you some journaling and planning exercises I did earlier this month to set the direction for the year. I’m always cognizant that my intentions and goals can change as time goes on, but having an inflection point where I regularly take stock and plan is so helpful for seeing how far I’ve come.
