The last six months have been the busiest of my life. Everything I have been doing has been outwardly focused. Which is to say a lot of fantastic opportunities have come my way, so my energy has been in the realms of discovery, catch-up and production.

A DIY Project A Day

Now that summer is here and the living is getting easier (or slower) I have the time to look around and check in with myself. Well, I decided my body, soul, home and garden need attention~so I am challenging myself to improve everything around me, one day at a time.

The following year of daily posts are DIY projects to make my personal space (and the spaces shared with my husband) healthier, happier, and better organized. I am determined to make life better! Here we go:

I started with a shelf in my living room where I collected things to remind me of my goals. I chose the living room since it is the center of my home and I wanted to start at the center of my life and work outward.

Make Your Own “Good Intentions” Shelf

1. Choose a spot in your home you will see every day (It could be in the bedroom, kitchen, or even your bathroom.)
2. Clear the space to the edges. Nothing goes in that space except your good intentions. If you don’t have a shelf, get a tray and pretty it up with your style.
3. Start by placing your favorite thing in the center~be it a picture of your family, an inspirational word or phrase, or an “intention bowl” where you write down your intentions and place them inside.
4. Begin to find the things that represent your goals and place them in this space. Don’t exceed the space! If you need more room, get a bigger shelf! This area is the center of your dreams, give it structure and focus by creating a boundary.
5. Now dream, and dream BIG!

Until Tomorrow~Sarah
