So, we have flown through April and I am still going strong with my One Little Word.
Having my word OPEN has been very empowering over the last two months. Throughout both March and April, I have been training for a half-marathon...my first! I used my OLW to choose to do the marathon in the first place as I was challenging myself to OPEN my mind to something new.
I still have a few page protectors from last year's OLW project which were divided as pictured below, so I used those again this year, giving it a slightly different look than Ali's assignment example.
On the back of last month's 'goal sheet', I added another goal sheet and continued mapping my training progress through April. On the left hand side I inserted some map paper from an old book and used word stickers that applied.
My self-portrait was taken on my iPhone. I tried to take it from an interesting angle, resulting in a sun flare and my hair blowing in the breeze. I kept an OPEN mind about using this picture even though you can see right up my nose!
On the next two-page spread are my letters to myself. I just want to keep doing what I am doing. Life is good right now.
I run my race on May 20th and then I am not sure where my word OPEN will take me.
I am curious to see...
Thank you so much for visiting today!
I am so encouraged when you visit.
