I LOVE LISTS Posted: 04 Feb 2022 01:22 AM PST I LOVE LISTS New Trader Joe’s snack reviews!  Parenting teens advice I needed to hear.  Some ways to put your old coffee grounds to good use.  The history and evolution of the “last meal.” Let’s space out and watch how dried packaged pasta is made.  Why IKEA makes you assemble your own furniture.  What can make a good boss turn bad?  I wonder what features Airstream will have by the time I retire.  Basic /useful safety tips.  Mesmerizing flight trails of birds.  Wind sculptures are fascinating!  This underwater restaurant must be so cool in person.  I can’t believe we put a chimp in space in 1961.  My grandpa used this coffee maker and I am forever fascinated by it. Clear sticky notes? What a time to be alive!  Doodles enhanced by shadows.  There’s flaming hot everything now (and my child loves it!). Pantry organizing tips from professional organizers.  Are these overalls? They look super comfy!  I’d love to live in a ranch house one day. Stairs are annoying.

Currently January 2022 Posted: 02 Feb 2022 01:22 AM PST Currently January 2022 We made it through the first month of the year! YAY.  I read somewhere that January is the Monday of the year and HOW TRUE IS THAT?!  I spent some time digesting 2021 throughout January instead of going from 0-60 in 2022. I guess that’s what it means to give yourself grace, huh?  I also stayed away from bread and limited my drinking to almost nothing. In other words, I felt a lot of feelings and worked through/with them this month.  In my Currently Workbook (you can get one through Blurb now, discounted!) I filled out the beginning. My word for 2022 is SPIRIT. Spirited, spiritual, spirituality…ALL OF IT.  And here are my: Intentions for 2022: grow my art practice teach online garden- more flowers! protect my energy/intuition learn & grow paint cabinets in bathroom (been on my list for 9 years) travel if we can solo trip(s) if I can move my body & honor it tap into spirit- those who came before this moment in time My note to myself? I added the KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK sticker I sent out with everyone’s orders last month to my own workbook for encouragement. I’ve been doing this currently column on my blog since 2017 and I’m keeping it up because of YOU (and me). I like looking back at how my life has changed over the years.  This month I did some collaging on my January spread.  I spent time with my friend Neiley on my deck (we’ve had beautiful weather!) and worked on it in the sun. January always reminds me that it’s citrus season. Time to get your vitamin C! I spent a lot of time outside in January. I am happy living life outside. So many hikes! Feeling grateful for the good weather here. Although, we could use some more rain soon.  Let’s get into the month! I started filling my workbook with pencil with the intention of going over it with pen but I might not do that and just leave it. I dunno! I have a private FB group if you want to share/see how others use theirs!  Let’s break it down, shall we? Inspired By: This month I took my friend Tammi’s workshop- The Invitation 2022 and it was so much fun! Every Monday, I attended a live call and we had homework to get us ready for the new year ahead.  My brain is happy when I am in learning mode.  My friend Sam hosts a book club for his Patreon patrons and this month we had our first meet & greet for the new book we are reading- On Earth We are Briefly Gorgeous.  This is the third book I’ve read in his book club and I’ve had such a good time making new friends and hearing other people’s life perspectives (while reading & finishing a book!) I went on some incredible long hike/walks with friends this month and feel grateful for where I live and who is in my life. Watching: Succession (we watched the entire series this month!) Superstore 60 days in Youtube tutorials Reading: The Other Side and Back – my Mom used to like watching Sylvia Browne and I think she read some of her books. I found myself in a bookstore killing time while Cooper was at basketball practice so I purchased this book and have been enjoying reading it. I felt like since I chose the word SPIRIT, it found me at the right time. On Earth, We are Briefly Gorgeous– just started reading this for book club Thriving as an Empath– I read this every day.  Thinking About: my career my life my future my childhood how it will all work out how I want to spend my 2022 Listening To: Brought this back: For the 17-year-old part of me:  A whole mood: Been into this one: I learned that I am an enneagram 5w4 and so I’ve been listening to this song to understand that.   Dream Life: I had a whole bunch of dreams this month. I started writing them down in a journal next to my bed. The best part is that I wake up and Huggy is always next to me, protecting me in real life. I love that cat! Eating/Drinking: Mocha Meringues Cuz I was staying away from gluten and wanted to share a treat with my child.  Bean & Cheese Taquitos Wanted to make something that didn’t cost much, was full of protein and I can make if I’m eating on my own (travel baseball season has already started around here).  Fennel Celery Salad I did a lot of meal prep this month. I wanted to add more salads into my life and wanted to make something that I grab from the fridge whenever. Salads don’t last more than a day but this one does!  ALL THE MEAL PREP THIS MONTH:               View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Tracy Benjamin (@shutterbean)             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Tracy Benjamin (@shutterbean)             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Tracy Benjamin (@shutterbean)             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Tracy Benjamin (@shutterbean)   Grateful For: my health my family time outside with friends etsy orders (THANK YOU!!!) the community I’ve built online (xoxox) Self Portrait for January How I fill out my self-portrait section for my workbooks:             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by the handwriting club (@thehandwritingclub) I use my thermal label printer for my Etsy orders to print out a photo.
