We are still focusing on "Reflections". This week we want you to Reflect on the past year and scrap about something you will change this year. This is very open to your own creativity, but here are some quotes about change or reflecting that might get your motor started! In life, there are many things that we can change and many things that we cannot change. Things we can change include our attitudes, beliefs, habits, perspectives, and behaviors. We also have the power to change our environment, our career, our relationships, and our goals

  • “For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice.
  • “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
    — Socrates
  • “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t even happened yet.”
    — Anne Frank
Some personal changes:
  • To see a positive change financially
  • To travel to more places and meet people, learn and discover new things that I can apply to my life moving forward.
  • To become more fit and strong so I can accomplish the things mentioned above.
If you want to scrap ABOUT the topic, that's cool too. We never want you to feel you have to be more personal than you are comfortable with! Here's a mood board that I made about the topic.

Here is my page. I chose to use the Anne Frank Quote above.

Thanks for a great challenge Susie!! :) For me I started realising in 2023 that not everything has to be perfect for it to be wonderful in the now. It's the same concept as "if only...", if only I was taller, shorter etc, I could go and do this, or that.......... so I am trying to get better at that! :) So the word I used in conjunction with the main Reflect theme was (becoming) Wiser.

Here is my second part of this month's challenge, together with Week 1 in the upper left hand corner. :)
