Happy Book

Who would’ve thought that one simple question could cause such a stir? I’ve been trying to figure out the answer but it seems to trigger a lot more than I could possibly imagine. So I’ve decided to start another what I call ‘Happy Book’ and dug out one of my many gorgeous notebooks so I could start with a clean slate and lotsa blank pages.

I’ve chosen the bigger version of the Moleskine notebook that I normally carry with me in my handbag. It was a birthday gift and I had put it away in one of my house moving boxes knowing that one day it would be useful for a certain project. I intend to cut out pictures and glue them on the still empty pages along with notes that I’ll jot down.

The questions that started all this were: ‘what do you want in your life…’ ‘what is your goal…’ whilst following a method to ‘reprogram the mind’: picture yourself in the new situation as if it is a present one, not a future version. But I have so many goals and/or wishes that in order to make them real I need to put some kind of structure in the chaos.

Because of this I needed to start a new ‘Happy Book’… this way I can reorganise my thoughts by organising clippings, sketches and written affirmations. While working on this I suddenly realised that this might take a bit longer and might need a bit more effort and hard work than I first thought but ‘the plan’ is going to be a great one…

Mark my words! *wink*

Happy 2010!

May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues. May this New Year bring newly found prosperity, love, happiness and delight in your life. Happy 2010 to all of you out there reading these lines…
