Love the idea to record the wonder moment on each one. My word this year is courage. Courage to try new things and not let perfection get in the way. Some are rather silly and not that great...but I refuse to edit them out. I am accepting all of the work. 😊
Love the calendar idea, I seared a large sheet of watercolor paper but didn't cut it up because I know me and mine would get lost in my stacks of art. Going to put them in a calendar now!
I've been writing 3 "gifts" down each day for years, so this is just a beautiful creative way to incorporate art into this practice. I am noticing creating these is enhancing my attention to watching for these gifts. I am having to find a way to visually convey the gift. One day my wonder was having a deeply spiritual conversation with my husband. How was I to convey that? I am not an abstract artist, but that is what I turned to. And it turned out beautiful. I think this will definitely stretch me in this area. I look forward to seeing what themes emerge. My word for the year is already "expectation" so I believe I have some wonderful things to look forward to!
Thank you again for this challenge. I've been wanting to create daily for years, and it's been such a struggle. Having a 1" and 5 minute framework has enabled me to practice every day. I never stop at 5 minutes, as I'm having so much fun I just keep going!!! Thank you for helping me jump-start creating every day so far! :)
I have my finished ones in a little metal box. Like you I write on the back of each one. Date, & wonder moment. I haven’t done everyday- but that’s ok. If you glue yours down how do you see what you wrote on the back?

You make room for all the possibilities. Ty

I had to think about that question too! 🧐 🤣 That's why I also write it on a monthly calendar spread in my project journal/planner.
