OLW : feb blog hop.
I'm having a blast taking Ali's One Little Word class over at Big Picture. I think that it's definitely going to help me keep my word front of mind. Although, to be honest? I kinda feel like it's TOO front & center right now. Barb suggested that the universe is clearly listening to me – and serving up LOTS of SHIFT (the "f" gets lost on some days). Maybe I should have chosen "rich" or "thin"? Anyway….here's a look at what we've done in the class so far…
Is anyone surprised that I chose a quote from Grey's Anatomy? Ha!
I'm definitely finding that working through the prompts helps to keep my OLW relevant for me. I'm often asking myself "how can you shift that thinking?" – and listening for the answer. I think the key for me with SHIFT is that it reminds me that I'm in control of my reaction – I may not be in control of the situation, but I can make a subtle shift now & then. It's helping.
Wanna see what others are doing with their word? Hop on over to Sam's blog next – http://learncreatedo.wordpress.com – and then grab a snack b/c there's a LONG list of participants! ENJOY!
(and thanks for stopping by!)

Great quote and the kraft made me smile – I tried it and then went with white this month but yours looks lovely. That green card pops. Hope you find lots of SHIFT without the excrement 😉

Love the kraft—do you type with a typewriter or is that a font?

I love the colors that you have used. Everything goes together so nicely. And I love how you have the “S” and “D” in shifted. So lovely.
