I spent a lot of time thinking of this project.
It started as most of my ideas do.
Grand, elaborate and filled with ideas!
The problem was it didn’t fit me.
The idea was great, and perhaps over time I will expand my little diary into something more.
For now, it serves the purpose I needed it to.
It works as a daily reminder of my creative journey.
It serves to inspire me each day.
It reminds me that each day is beautiful.
Combining it with some weekly creative genius planning sessions I believe I have finally found the planner for me!
It was a bit of a personal challenge to step back and admit that the reason it was taking me so long to make this thing is because I was trying to design something I didn’t want to use or make. So, I decided today that I wasn’t going to follow my normal route which is deciding I cannot do this amazingly full HUGE idea so I won’t do it at all.
Instead, I sat down and said, “what do you want to make?”
And this little baby calendar came out.
She is so cute and sweet.
Not full of photos, color or lots of lines.
She is compact, able to be used as big (it includes a daily planning sheet so you can have one for each day of the week) or as little as you want.
She inspires, in a soft, subtle way.
She reminds you that you ARE living your creative life right in this very moment.
You just need to recognize it.
Those who listen to my daily podcasts may know how, originally I planned on selling the calendar.
However that was the plan for this ginormously huge mega info filled planner.
Not for my little, sweet baby planner.
So, I have decided to give away the planner for free.
Yup, no cost, no charge-if you would like a planner to work out your creative path for 2013 then I have one for you.
To get it, all you have to do is sign up for my newsletter here.
Easy peasy.
If you already get my newsletter-I will be sending it out to you today.
Woop! Woop!
I hope you enjoy her. I will be sharing some posts about how I use my ARC notebook system as a daily calendar and how they coincide with my weekly creative genius planning sessions to give you some inspiration on how to use the calendar.
You of course can use it any way that suits you.
So, as 2012 winds down and we gear up for 2013 I wish you a very blessed day. A feeling of groundedness, of warmth and most of all joy.
Happy New Year!
