A pause... and some half-year intentions


It's halfway through  July.

To celebrate and commemorate this year's midway-ish point, I decided to take pause to frame fresh "intentions" for the rest of the year (you can see my initial New Year intentions here). As always, I feel as though the beginning of the year has slipped away from me, uneventfully, without having achieved very much at all. (Of course, when I look back with some distance between now and then, there always seems to be some progress... I just need perspective.) So it seemed like a good idea to reflect and gently carve myself a fresh path.

1. Live wholeheartedly. (My mantra!)

2. Write everyday. Deeply and thoughtfully.

3. Be generous.

4. Live life on purpose

5. Keep hope.

Simple, but not exactly easy. I just wrote these down on a little list to keep in my handbag. Also at the front of my notebook. And as a sticker below my laptop keypad. To keep me on track when I get tired and distracted, let time slip by... and waver.

How has your year been going so far? Do you feel as though you have progressed? What intentions do you have for the rest of the year?
