Full disclosure: I’ve never decorated Easter Eggs! Shocking, right? As someone who loves a good DIY, the Easter Egg has eluded me .. until now …
Over the last week, I’ve been seeing these gorgeous marbled Easter eggs, pop up all over my Instagram feed, which naturally peeked my curiosity. Imagine my excitement when I discovered a step by step tutorial by Alice & Lois! Now there was no excuse, I had to give this a go.
J. R. R. Tolkien wrote Not all who wander are lost in his poem All That is Gold does not Glitter for his infamous fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. And while in the book it refers to the wanderers who were often thought of as vagabonds, their wanderings actually protected those who judge them, from evil. Their wanderings were useful.
Since first hearing that line many many years ago, it has stuck with me. I’ve always been a wanderer – explorer, adventurer, dreamer. And truth be told, I’ve judged it harshly. Often blaming it for my lack of focus, drive or success in certain aspects of my life.
Well we’re nearly through January (I know, how did that happen?!) and this is usually the time when many of us have already given up on or gotten side tracked on our goals and intentions for the year. Totally normal. No need to beat yourself up. Just take a moment to check in and see if the goals and intentions you set for yourself were authentic and true to you. If not, let them go and perhaps hone in on some more genuine goals.
If, however the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of January were true to you, take a moment to think about why you may have gotten distracted or side lined? Unexpected demands on our time, changes in health, Mercury Retrograde, etc all play an influence and there will always be stuff that comes up to pull you away from what you’ve set out to achieve. Sometimes these things can’t be helped and do require our attention and energy, but other times we do have choice. There are measures you can take to achieve the goals that you set out for yourself such as finding an ActionBuddy for one example. That way there is somebody there to keep you motivated.
