Radvent 2010! A blogging/journaling project from me to you.

Posted on 30. Nov, 2010 by in inspiration, radvent

This project represents the beginning of a new tradition I am starting for myself and I want to invite all of my readers to come along.

2010 was a changing year for me filled with the most intense periods of growth and emotion I have experienced in my life. I experienced renewed confidence and a feeling of purpose and pride through my business. I created new life and experienced the beautiful rite of passage of birth, bringing little Alice Elfie into the world. And I struggled through some feelings of intense loneliness and self-examination. I feel like I reached milestones, crossed a threshold into adulthood, and started feeling really satisfied with my contributions to the world. It feels so good to maybe be on the right track. To start asking new, harder questions of myself. To feel worthy of new challenges. Each year is like leveling up, and we’re about to hit 2011…but not before reflecting on the awesomeness of 2010!

______________________________________________________________________

Each day this December, to honor and respect the experiences from this year and re-examine my goals and hopes for the coming year, I am keeping a Radvent Journal!

Every day I will post a graphic and .pdf file containing journaling prompts, inspirational quotes, photos, and a special project or two. I’ll also share my own reflections and answers each day.

Won’t you join me?

______________________________________________________________________

The most magical time of year

It all begins tomorrow, December 1st with Remembering. The first day is all about giving yourself permission to reflect not only on the awesome things that have happened in your life, but to stop blocking the bad memories and accept how you have grown and learned from those experiences. It ends with some suggestions for new traditions you can begin with family and friends to create even more happy memories to carry with you for the rest of your life.

Every day will bring a simple thought and a challenge and I would love you to join me on this journey by posting your progress as you work through your own Radvent Journal along with me. You can participate on your own blog, or by posting notes on Facebook, or simply by writing in your own old school pen-and-paper journal! (Perhaps like the one in the picture above?)

Honor yourself. Let this be your gift to yourself–consider your growth and preserve the memories and experiences from these times so you can learn from them, leave them behind, and revisit them any time.

It starts tomorrow!

    Actually, I was talking to a friend about this and we were thinking it might be nice to follow the prompts mid-year – would you have any objections to that?

    [...] Radvent day two!! Today’s theme, “organizing,” is not about making your life perfect or forcing yourself into new habits, because that’s a sure way to feel like a failure (which you are not at all!). The point of organization is to clear out all of the things that make you feel bad, that let crappy feelings bubble up to the surface, and making room for good feelings, for better things, for family, friends, hobbies, health. [...]
