Ode to Laziness

Hello,

what are you doing lately?

I can’t believe that I haven’t written a post for months, really MONTHS!

I missed this spot, but on the other way, I still am in a sort of laziness, and can’t help, I don’t know if I will awake soon.

What I am doing is: Learning. As I said before, learning is a never ending process for me, and I keep feeling I’m not ready to begin something that involve all my muscle and nerves. Is this called procrastination maybe?

This is an illustration I draw to get in the new #portfolioclub assignment prompt on Instagram. And I also work on #illostories prompt as well.

There is also a personal and SECRET project I’m working on too, that make me feel sooo excited and happy.

Summer is the lazy period for my soul, I am reading a big amount of books. Did you know that my city, Trieste is a literature crib? At the beginning of the previous century, there where many international poets, writers and artists that came here. And this year Trieste is one of the candidate to the CREATIVE CITIES of UNESCO for the Literature. And I really hope that this will became true. Today Trieste is again the port for so many artists and creative people, here are so many contemporary writers, illustrators (the project that involve the curators of the new museum of the literature also will have five language and a big jung and kids literature, and crafts artist that I think we deserve this pledge.

That’s all for now.

I’m off to taking sun bathing, drawing on my sketchbook, working on my secret project, playing UNO’s Cards with my son, eating tomatoes, fish and drinking fresh white wine, meeting happy people… in other words, bringing smile and happyness to my life.

Happy 2019 + New Year Resolutions

Hello!!

welcome into 2019, I am so excited about the new year. I have a lot of great intentions for this year. I don’t list many, but I have some important goals o achive and a few resolutions. One of those is to take care of myself.

As a working and single mom, it’s easy to forget to honor yourself, especially when you’re so tired and push your “make up me” -self in a corner, unlistened and forgotten.

So, this January I put some black sign-point on my Bullet Journal:

• Book hairstylist appointment

• put the body lotion

• shave your legs

• etc. etc.

So, while I was wrapping up the last year and setting goals for 2019, with fashionist beauty and selfcaring in mind, I was drawn to design some girls into my sketchbook. I LOVED them so much that I ended up turning them into stickers.

I called ‘em My Daily Beautiful Life - so I can stick them once in a while to help me remind to take care of myself.

I’ve also started reading Ryder Carroll’s book “ The Bullet Journal Method” and I am enjoying it.

I’ve got my first bujo in 2016, but at that time I wasn’t much enthusiastic, but by reading the book I changed my opinion and I want to give it a try on 2019, and I can say that for the first week it works! I had personalized the method to make it just enough functional to my style.

Looking back, 2018 was a very intense year for me, with some awful happening but also filled with pure joy here and there.

I hope that 2019 will bring more Love and Abundance into my life, for this reason those are my word of the year for this coming year.

I’ve also set up my Agenda, I want to break the Woty in 12 small steps, so January will be all about “Learn To Fly” to go out of my comfort zone, start doing, acting. I filmed a Video of my Moleskine Agenda set up and you can watch it on my YouTube channel.

That’s all for this week, Let’s stay in touch and let me know how do you set up your BuJo and how many or which do you use for your planning.
