And here we are. It’s August. I re-start work, the kids will go back to school, eighth and twelfth grades. We have a lot going on this month. And I am feeling centered and grounded and I feel open to possibility. Let’s see how things unfold.
This months intention is: Big Joys: Time to get organized again, transitions are coming. twelfth and eight grades. These are big big milestones. Hug your kids. Get organized, plan, prepare and do what you need to do. Write down all your dreams. Make plans.
My goal for August is to love and support my people. To do what they need as much and as often as I can. I want to stay open and spacious and positive.
Here are some goals for August:
continue to draw, sketch, paint or do some artistic endeavor as often as I can
try to eat fresh food
do most of of HCOTF
support N with his trip and then with transitioning to school
support D with essays + driving and transitioning to school
Journal daily
Read a lot
Support J with his surgery and appointments and this potentially new path forward
continue medication
Continue documenting the joy
Love my people
Scrap and OLW
Go outdoors, sit outside, be in the sunshine
dive deeper into ease, release, equanimity, space, possibility and see what you might want to do for each. ( still haven’t done this but maybe I should give up?)
remember that it’s all bonus
take it slow and one day at a time at work and be patient with yourself. Listen. Don’t jump in.
be in the present moment, don’t count down the days
help D figure out his plans
Help K if she needs it
This is my list for now.
August, here we go. Let’s do this. Let it be full of joy.
I was supposed to go back to work early July but my doctor recommended I take a few more weeks off so now I will be resting all of July and will go back to work early August. I have been intentionally making sure my todo list for July is completely empty except for taking care of my people. I wake up every day reminding myself that I don’t have to do anything today. Eventually I exercise and paint and journal and read but I don’t even have to do those if I don’t want to. The idea is to rest.
This months intention is: Invite Joy: Create some adventure. Go places. Do things. Hug your people. Take chances.
We will see what this means for July. I think I will focus on rest instead.
Here are some goals for July:
continue to draw, sketch, paint or do some artistic endeavor as often as I can

I have all of June off so this is a perfect prompt for June. Practicing Joy and presence and sitting in the sunshine is all I want to do this month.

This months intention is: Deep Joys: Take some time. Be still. Listen to the whispers of your soul. Hug your people. Dig deep and see what brings you deep joy.
It’s always interesting to see how well these seem to work out each month. Or maybe that they are recurring themes in my life of what I need to hear. Either way, I am definitely planning to be still and hug my people in May. And also to dig and see.
Here are some goals for May:

This months intention is: April: Joyful Leap: Time to go on adventures. See some colleges. Have deep conversations. See possibilities.

I might be able to go back to weekly updates but I am not sure yet so in the meantime, I thought it would be interesting and worthwhile to make a reflection around what I want to look forward to in February and some of my goals and plans.
This months intention is to March: Choose Joy: This is usually your hardest month. No break, still too cold. It feels hard to make it through this month but you can. Choose joy. Look at your list from February. Keep going.
March is likely going to be even bumpier than I’d imagined, so choosing joy will be instrumental in my ability to make it through this month and in my ability to give myself some grace. Bring it on.

February, I am ready for you. Let it be full of joy.
Weekly Intention: my intention this week is to be productive and slow. I want to slow down in my interactions and try to stay focused on my deliverables.
This month’s intention is:Small Joys : Start small. Make a plan for the steps you want to take and give yourself a lot of grace. Take a handful of steps. You got this. I have started on this, capturing daily joys on insta and taking a few small steps like buying some of the things I wanted. Finding a way to set my table up etc.
One area where I will go deeper this week: I would like to find some way to do journaling and art.
What do I need to sit with this week? understanding my feelings.
I am looking forward to: getting some work done and also having a 3-day weekend.
Focus onCore Desired Feelings (ease, release, equanimity, space, possibility): I am actively working on paying attention to what’s holding me back in these areas. Last week, I learned that I can’t always trust my thoughts. I was making something really big in my head but then when I did it, it was fun. So I can’t always trust what I think something will feel like. I am learning to pay attention to what’s getting in the way and finding ways to raise my awareness.
This week’s challenges: I have a lot of work I would like to get done, I would like to find a way to make it possible. To be both more efficient and more productive.
Top Goals:
Work: be productive. get at least the offsite and the new calendar and the write up for OC done.
Personal: find a plan for morning pages, do some art – however small, continue on wellness, make a connection plan
Family: climb with J, make a decision with D and doctor, help N with CB, help J with G, be patient, spacious and kind.
This week, I want to remember: what matters most to me is to be kind and loving.
I had regular goals for my blog for the last few years and that worked well for me until 2020 when I just gave everything up. At this point, I am not yet sure how I feel about 2022 and the blog so I don’t want to prematurely commit to things. But here are a few things that are top of mind for me
Daily Joys: Posting daily on my instragram really helped me keep my word front and central this year. I am currently contemplating continuing that. We’ll see if I do.
Art: I really miss art. I will find a way to bring it back to my life and here.
Reflection: Monday and Sunday reflection posts helped me stay connected to my goals, keep track of my intentions, I will see if I can bring those back.
Nourish: Last year I did 100 days of radical wellness and it really really worked for me. I am thinking of doing a version of that again this year, bringing together all my goals around food, exercise, skincare, mental health, etc, it’s a really good focus for me.
Reading – I read a lot this year. I continued to read netgalley/edelweiss ARC books as well as audiobooks from the library and audible. I plan to continue this next year. I will continue tracking them on goodreads.
Like last year, I bailed around October which seems to be when I get tired and just don’t feel up to it anymore. So like last year, I give myself the caveat that all of these might happen, none of them might happen. I might repeat projects. I might do wildly different things. I am giving myself grace while trying to keep myself motivated.
Here’s to a wonderful 2022. Here’s to doing more art. Here’s to making time to enjoy art. Here’s to learning new things. Here’s to practicing more. Here’s to reflecting. Being intentional. Nourishing Creating a positive cycle. Here’s to embracing joy.
I want to start by saying that this is going to be a long post. These reflective posts are how I make sure to live my life intentionally. They matter to me and I love being able to look back on them in future years. I know that this might not be interesting to many (if not any) of you, so please feel free to skip it. If some of you find it interesting, all the better.
This particular exercise is following Susannah Conway’s Unraveling 2022 sheet. You can download it right here. I split the reflective questions looking back on 2021 in and the questions to help clarify goals/dreams for 2022 into two posts. This is part II. All questions are Susannah’s and are copyrighted to her.
Unravelling The Year Ahead
It’s now most definitely time to look forward! I love how a new year holds so much possibility. It’s a do-over, a blank slate, a new page to be filled with whatever we want. There’ll always be the responsibilities and routines of our everyday, but that doesn’t mean we have to keep doing things in the same old way. Whether you wish to bring in big changes or do a bit of fine-tuning, it’s all to play for in 2022.
First, choose a word to guide you through the next 12 months. Pick a word that makes you feel expanded. Encouraged. Inspired. There’s no right or wrong answer so go with your intuition. What’s your Word for 2022? My word is JOY.
If you truly embodied your Word every day in 2022, what would you do differently? I focus on things that have the feeling of deep joy. Where I feel my soul dancing inside my body.
What one thing could you do each day to anchor your Word into your routine? I think I might continue to document on insta.
How does your Word make you feel? Deep contentment
Do you want any extra words to support your Word for 2022? Brainstorm here. Think about what you need in the different areas of your life: home… work… relationships.. Health… self-care… What would support your Word? Yes I want to hold on to ease, release, space, possibility and equanimity. Those are the ones I am thinking of at the moment.
What are you looking forward to in 2022? Seeing my parents. Getting to visit colleges with David.
What are you feeling apprehensive about? The possibility of COVID still raging. Work situation getting worse. Me not being able to hold on to the ease.
What life lessons are you taking with you into 2022? Is this mine to carry? Can I hold this lightly? Can I let this go? I have my own back. Give people an opportunity to delight and not disappoint. The ground beneath me is not going anywhere. Thank you for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever.
What area of your life do you most want to develop in 2022? Assuming i hold on to hwat i have, prolly art and nutrition are what i want to focus on the most.
What part of yourself do you yearn to nurture in 2022? The part of me that’s unraveling right now. The ease and the peace.
Fast-forward to December 2022. You’re sitting in a café, musing over the last 12 months. Where do you want to be… … in your head? (work, dreams, goals) I want to be really thriving and loving my job. I want to feel a sense of belonging and clear ownership and value.
… in your heart? (relationships, family, friends) i want everyone at home to feel good and healthy and happy. I want to see my family again and i would love to have 1-2 new close friends.
… in your soul? (beliefs, practices, self-love) i want to continue feeling this ease and feeling of having my own back. I would love to keep this spaciousness.
… in your physical world? (home, health, hobbies) i would love to have done some major progress in art and my ability and ease with drawing and painting. I would also love to have made a major shift in nutrition.
Everything is Possible
Okay, let’s take it up a notch. Use this page to describe what 2022 looks like in your ideal world. Be specific! What are your dreams for love this year? Work? Play? Where are you hungry for change? How do you want 2022 to FEEL? Use your answers from the previous pages to craft your ideal vision for the next 12 months. What would saying YES to your life look and feel like? Write out everything your heart desires for this new year. Be bold.
It would mean that I wake up and do my exercise and then my meditation, I continue to do cardio, strength and restorative work.
It would mean I tell my kids and husband how much i love them everyday and see the joy of our life together.
It would mean I find value in the work I do and feel a strong sense of belonging and contribution at work.
It would mean that I eat what feeds my body, take care of my skin, and do what feeds my brain and soul.
It would mean that I prioritize sleep.
It would mean I spend time doing art.
IT would mean I see my friends in person.
It would mean I look for and see and create daily joy in my life.
Now let’s give those dreams and plans some shape. Use the grid to start plotting the details of 2022. Use words and pictures, dates and anniversaries. Include actual events and made-up dreams, too. Be playful. Doodle your heart out. Back in 2013, our January OLW assignment involved setting intentions and I really enjoyed that, so I thought maybe I can do that instead.

The Wrap-Up
2022 will be the year I finally settle into the ease.
I will nourish myself with food that helps my body and soul.
I will make more time for art, people i love, exercise.
I will recharge my batteries by resting and doing yoga.
This year I will open my heart to possibilities.
I will pay more attention to how my body feels. What i am picking up.
I will learn more about how to draw.
I will release my attachment to outcomes, knowing what’s coming, anything that’s not mine.
I wish for 2022 to feel easeful and joyful.
This year I will say NO to things that are not mine.
This year I will say YES to experiencing more joy and to being here now.
What is your secret wish for 2022? Declare it here! That I continue to live in this space of ease and really lean into joy and possibility.
I wholeheartedly believe that everything is possible in 2022!
As always, I mention many of these same thoughts from last year and here, here, and here. I am pretty sure these themes have been in my life in some way or another for many years. I know that they will likely still be around in 2022 and 2022 and onward. What I’d like to do this year is to make a dent. To move things forward a little bit. Every forward step I take moves me in the right direction and that’s all I can ask for.
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine stepping into the shoes of you from December 2022, one year from now. You are one year older and one year wiser and you’ve lived every day of 2022 fully and completely. You have a message of encouragement about 2022. There’s stuff you want to share… stuff you’re eager to tell yourself. When you’re ready, open your eyes, pick up your pen, and write a letter from your future self, starting with DearKaren: I am so proud of you. Keep going, you got this!
As with all the previous years, I knew I wanted to pick my core desired feelings this year, too. If you want to know more about core desired feelings, please go to my post from 2016 and you can see the links there.
This is the first year in a long time that I knew what I wanted going into the year and I didn’t actually do the exercise. 2021 was a very hard year for me that ended up being an extremely transformative year around a lot of inner work. I had some really really tough moments this year both personally and professionally. I think it ended up being hard enough that I finally had to do what I needed to do to get help and do my own work.
I had a major, random breakthrough in the middle of summer as I was reading a book by Tara Brach with this quote:
Thank you for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever.
I think I was already on the path but that quote is the point I viscerally remember everything changing. I added this quote to my calendar for a daily reminder (it’s still there.) I found a therapist, I extended my coaching at work, I started doing more restorative yoga. I visualized releasing things again and again. As I lay on the ground doing the yoga, I imagined balloons coming out of my body and into the sky with my worries on them. It worked every time.
I added some major questions to ask myself:
is this mine to carry?
can i hold this lightly?
There was an OLW class around affirmations, I set a bunch and here are the few that really stuck with me:
I have all the time I need.
I am exactly where in supposed to be.
I choose joy.
I added meditation to my routine. The first time I had a long session, I had this profound realization that brought tears to my eyes:
I have my own back.
The ground beneath me is not going anywhere.
These might seem simple to you but they are things I wanted to believe since I was born but never managed to and now I was finding myself connecting with them viscerally.
And then during a recent conversation with my coach, I realized that lowering my expectations, or in fact not having any was very liberating and it gave the people in my life an opportunity to delight me and not disappoint me. And it allowed me to live my life in a non-transactional way. Opportunities for delight is how I want my life to feel.
So walking into this year, I knew exactly what I wanted to hold on to. What core desired feelings I had. I chose: ease, release, space, equanimity and possibility.
I mentioned before that there’s a pattern to my words: I always pick something around peacefulness, something around being brave, something around being kind, something around being open, and then maybe a few new ones. So even in this year, I didn’t really break the trend except maybe with brave but possibility can cover that. And my word this year Joy feels brave to me.
Here’s what I came up with this year and what they each mean to me:
Ease: This is the peaceful word of this year. I have been feeling full of ease towards the end of this year as a combination of not picking up what’s not mine to carry and holding things lightly and doing a lot of work to release. I want to continue to feel this ease. I want to feel light and move through the world with ease.
Release: This might be like ease but mostly it’s a prerequisite for me. Surrender and release are really words I’ve kept close this year and they have been profound for my healing. I would like to keep them close.
Equanimity: This is my word around kindness this year. Equanimity means mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation. Emotional stability. I think this will result in unwavering kindness.
Space: This is the enough/spacious word of this year. I have space to do what i want, to be what i want, i am loved, everything is enough as is. I have my own back. The universe has my back too. All is well. There is enough time and space for all I want.
Possibility: And this is for hope. For taking chances. For wild and magic. For being open to what can be. For being brave with my life. For taking chances. For joy.
So there we are. I guess we still have a trend. Ease and Release are my peaceful words, space is about being open, possibility is about being brave and equanimity is about being kind.
I love all of these. Most importantly, I can immediately connect with the feeling I get when I say these words. I feel full. I feel content knowing these are the words I want for myself. They feel exciting and loving.
Here’s to a joyful year of releasing, feeling ease and space and approaching the world with equanimity and possibility.
