Planner for Chiro-Sis

"Puffins!"  my sister exclaimed. When she saw this bird watching notebook, I knew I would be making it her new planner! Loyal readers of this blog may remember the planner I made out of a potato chip bag for her for 2017. This was a bit easier!

Here's the front cover:

I put a blank label thingie over the title, so she can write whatever she wants.

Spine:

You'll notice I do the Travelers Notebook elastics.

Inside:

Loyal readers of this blog will remember the post I did on the Waterlogue app that transforms photographs into watercolour pictures. Now you can see all the finished puffin pictures incorporated.

I put a surprise Rowan pocket in her notebook:

I made a Gratitude journal for her with another photo from Pixabay, Waterlogued:

Mum loved penguins, so I thought she'd appreciate this wintery picture in lieu of  the usual Xmas graphics.

One of my (many) favourite quotes from John Morgan:

"GRATITUDE IS A DECISION OF THE HEAD AND THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART."
This came to me in a meditation . . . on gratitude.  :-)

How To Achieve Any Goal in Life

Love this bit of inspiration from The Modern Health Monk:

His book Master The Day is really AWESOME. He interviewed people who had dropped 100 lbs. and kept it off. What he discovered was that there was no single diet or magic bullet. No matter if they were low-fat, high-fat, no-carb, he found that it was about tiny habits each day that grow into weeks, months, years.  The book is really great for creating a structure for what you want to accomplish and it doesn't necessarily have to be about weight loss. In fact, I think there's only a couple pages toward the end of the book where he even talks about diet, because it's really more about mind-set. So check him out! Good stuff. :-)
