Hello, April! It is with great excitement that I welcome you here to this space. Beginnings are always hard, and while I don't have the perfect outline of where to start I do firmly believe that the best time to jump in is now. After years of procrastinating (and a sprinkle of doubt), I have decided to launch my own little corner of the internet again. Here you will find encouragement to stay curious, seek wonder, and be delighted. The inspiration for a cozy and creative life.
With the start of this new space, it is also the beginning of a new month. April is my favorite month of the year, though I may be a bit biased as my birthday is mid-month. Being the first full month of spring, I associate April with fresh flowers, beautifully mild afternoons, and sun dappled trees. It's the perfect month to take a stroll through the park, have a picnic with friends, and curl up with a good book with the windows open to let in the delicate breeze. As it is my birthday month, it also feels a little bit like New Year's and it gives me a chance to set some goals for the year to come away from the bustle of the holidays.
In addition to bigger goals, I like to set loose themes for each month that help me to make the most of the current season. These can be things I am looking forward to, habits I want to incorporate, or ways to add a little whimsy to everyday life. Each month I will share mine here on the first, and encourage you to share yours in the comments! I will also share a printable for your journal (see above for this month's).
