Currently a bigger place is in order for my little family, nothing but working to get there, manifesting and praying super hard, but also going with the flow of things. It can be done just alittle hard work and positive thoughts! @amiablepeace77
@InsightfulPhoenix
Great attitude! I hope you get that bigger place for you and your family soon.
Thank you! We are sure working on it! @amiablepeace77

I have been pretty inconsistent with my meditation practice so this year I really want to delve into this and I want to become regular with this mindfulness meditation practice.
@sky2Ocean20
A regular meditation practise can be helpful in so many ways. Mindfulness sessions can be a great way to practise with others. Mondays at 3:30 pm est. and Thursdays at 5 pm est.

I'm trying to work on some art pieces - just nature drawing - just to feel connected to something beautiful and calm.
@thoughtfulmomma
I can relate thoughtfulmomma, Connecting with nature has always been very important to me.
Yes, currently, I have been doing two remote volunteer jobs to help hispanics in the United States. One of the volunteer roles is serving as a bilingual crisis counselor, and the other is providing financial literacy. Additionally, I am studying for my licensed professional counselor exam and slowly - very slowly 😅 - writing my second book.
@rebeccastgo
You are doing a wonderful job by helping others! May I ask what your new book is about or is it confidential at this point?
@amiablePeace77
Thank you for your words!
No, it's fine! My first book was about the integration of nature in counseling, and my second book is a cookbook that I am writing with my grandmother.
@rebeccastgo
I love the idea about integration of nature in counseling but also writing a cookbook with your grandmother. Grannies often have so wonderful secret recipes! 😀
@amiablePeace77 Very true, and it's a wonderful way to connect with the family!
Something which I have been working on recently is doing weaving projects using a loom, it's quite relaxing to do.
@Harmony8682
Awesome!
@amiablePeace77
I'm getting into photography. I like editing and photoshop, so I decided to start taking photos and editing them myself. I really like creative artsy things, painting, drawing, writing, and thought why not hop on the photography train as well. Have a fun little hobby and who knows maybe it'll become more some day.
@JollyRacher
Nice Jollyracher, maybe one day you will become a professional! Always good to have skills just in case one needs to change working field.
I've been working on some digital art of myself and my partner recently. I surprised them with it and they loved it. It made me feel great and I want to work on something else soon for Valentine's Day coming up.
I'm also hoping to work on getting better at staying on top of day to day tasks, and especially working on self-compassion. I think self-compassion might be the greatest challenge but also something with the greatest potential to help me improve my life circumstances, or at least cope with the suffering better.
@Zeraphim
It must be fun to do things together like digital art and I find it's also a good way to create some bonding time.
I agree with you about self-compassion!
I did the art on my own. The subjects were of I and my partner, just to clarify.
@Zeraphim
Oh, I get you now. Thank you for clarification!
Putting in 101% with my wildlife conservation projects for 2024.
@Rainboho
Awesome!
@amiablePeace77 I appreciate my family
@StompingOnCP
Nice that you value your family!
@amiablePeace77
I was working on making an inspiration board.
It's finished now, ...or mostly finished - I'm thinking of allowing it to be 'in progress' to anticipate extenuating circumstances.
