I, like most, fall into the annual trap of setting a resolution in January and failing to keep up with it once the appeal of the new year wears off. This year I decided that instead of a resolution I would set monthly words of intention to help ground and focus my attention each month.

While the days are still full of darkness

I intend to use the space created by the slowness

To visualize my gardens

I intend to use the time inside

To learn about sourdough

I intend to use the energy created by the calmness

To fall into a new routine that is centered on goals and intention
