The Vernal Equinox is a spiritual time that leaves your soul feeling refreshed. During the Vernal Equinox, the day lasts just as long as the night. The world is in balance. It's a time to embrace the sun and discover balance in your own life. The spring is an opportunity to start over. Start fresh. Leave behind the cold winter days. Focus on resurrection and embrace this season of growth. This is a great time to begin a journal. Below are four great layouts you can create in your bullet journal to embrace the sun, and begin a transformation in your own life. 1. Look to the future Setting resolutions and looking to the future is usually associated with the beginning of the year. But the Vernal Equinox is a lovely time to re-evaluate and set new priorities. In your life, as in nature, things are constantly moving, changing and growing. Your goals may have shifted, and the Vernal Equinox is a great time to look ahead once more, and prepare for growth. 2. Setting Intentions When you set a clear and defined intention, you will notice a shift in the way you respond to situations. You allow yourself to accept opportunities that are in harmony with your intentions. Setting your intentions at the beginning of a season is the first step in manifesting your personal and professional goals. 3. Love yourself The cold winter months may have left you with an icy heart. As it begins to thaw, focus on loving yourself first. When you hold yourself in high esteem, you experience more enjoyment and cary that positive attitude with you into the future. Self love motivates you to adopt healthy habits and encourages you to take care of your mental, physical, and spiritual self. 4. Clear the Clutter The Vernal Equinox is a wonderful time to let go of all you've been holding onto during the long winter months. Cleaning leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and peace that you can take with you into other areas of your life. Having an clean and organized dwelling fosters a sense of calm. Once you step inside your residence you can leave the noise, confusion and chaos behind you.

Y'all know that I've struggled with whether to do a DD this year and how to approach it. Since I ordered the OA DD kit and decided to make the theme of mine this year be "Have Your Selfie a Merry Little Christmas," I've gotten much more excited about the process. As of now, I still don't have an album. I want to use a 6 X 8 album since that's the size of the papers in the OA kit, but I didn't order one with my kit. I went to Michael's late Sunday afternoon to look for a SNAP album or a BH Project Life album, but my store had neither. I need to make a decision about this quickly. I'll prob check out the OA site and visit some other online stores to see what my options are. Update: I ordered an album last night on Amazon, and it should be here next week sometime. I went with the OA Daily Flash album that looks like it's kraft and red. (They labeled it poppy, but it looks red to me.) It was around $12 + $5 shipping I think; it seemed like a decent deal to me. You can see what I ordered here.) While I have the wonderful OA kit to use, I did decide to go ahead and pull together some other materials that I might like to use in this year's DD. Here are some pictures of those supplies. In thinking about my DD this year, I've been considering sketching out some of my pages. I did a quick search for 6 X 8 layouts and found the jackpot of sketches! Thank you Lisa Moorefield for sharing this on your blog! I'm def going to use these - you betcha. Also, some of you might be interested in the glittered Mod Podge I mentioned in this week's podcast about Christmas crafting. While in Michael's, I spotted it on the shelf and thought I'd include a picture of it here for your reference. I haven't bought any just yet, but it's definitely on my list. :) I'm still working on some planning ideas and want to make some base pages this week. Since it's after December first, so I'm already behind. That's okay, though, it will all work out just fine. (Keep repeating that to yourself as needed throughout the holiday season...) My hope is to work on my first week's pages this Sunday and be ready to share them with you next week. Stay tuned, folks! Tiff
