January is the kind of month that lends you fresh possibilities, gives you ways to do things differently and then again to help you release old attachments that no longer serve a purpose.
For some of you who read Faith Logs I’m going to coin it a bit differently each time but you will still find it at the end of the month.
Find a balance

This month has been about trying to get things right, find more structure, find some discipline. No matter how hard I try some days I just lack any interest or motivation. It’s funny how sometimes tiny revelations will come out of a day less fulfilled.
Reading Hour

Reading hour was dedicated to reading Dust Child Book by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai. A book deep in history and the interlinking of relationships past and present. Thinking of Winter by Shantanu Naidu the kind of book you read in one night. Sweet and to be treasured.
Journal Craze

I stumbled upon these Paper Republic leather journals from Vienna and a kind of craze to have one took over me. They were too expensive. A luxury I couldn’t afford. So I settled for the trusted myPaperClip journal. It’s red, it’s sleek, it’s beautiful. I wanted to spend more time writing thoughts and ideas, answering journal prompts and just being girly. It was a little treat to myself.
Secret Garden

My garden had a beautiful refresh and I tidied up the balcony too. The best I could. I have a fixed garden time now and it’s done with more intention even though I mostly just need to water them on a daily basis. It’s a brilliant way to start the day with some green and some sunshine.
Flying Solo

I was looking forward to the concert this month and even left this space to describe what I felt. Well will have to wait for February for some Mayer atmosphere.
-Relinquish what’s not mine-

This month I had to learn to relinquish what was never mine. There was such a deep attachment that even while writing this I was tempted to go back to old patterns. I’m not sure if it’s meant to make you feel good when you release someone or something. I just know it’s meant to keep moving you forward. In trying to relinquish it though I only found I grew closer but the act of relinquishing put me at peace and I had no desire for anything more. For now at least. I still held it close but with a quiet detachment.
This maybe just another Faith Logs
It’s still a thread of my days
Blissful or melancholic
They are mine
Keep the Faith Always!
