The minute I started reading Chapter 5 of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion, I started thinking about cats. I’m not sure there is another creature that enjoys their idle time as much as a cat does. And sure enough, this chapter was filled with images of cats. Obviously, the authors agree!

I finished chapter four of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. This was my favorite chapter so far, and the content was so meaningful!

I’m exploring chapter 3 in my book club's newest selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. This chapter is about loving alone time, which is really not a problem for me. I think because I was an only child until the age of 12, I feel pretty comfortable with being alone. I know that isn’t the case for everyone, though.

I just finished Chapter 2 of my book club's selection of A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. It's such a fun book because it’s filled with great advice and fun activities that you can pull out of the book and use for creative projects.

The chapter topic is Love Your Imperfect Body, and it was such a timely subject for me to explore. I had surgery a few weeks ago…

I finished the first chapter of my book club's newest selection, A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. Diving into this beautiful book full of creative activities is so much fun. I included the introduction and chapter one for my first “assignment.” I removed some of the pages for a vision board project. I love that I can deconstruct this book!

I picked something really unique and fun for my book club's newest selection. We are going to be reading and playing with A Book That Loves You: An Adventure in Self-Compassion. It's beautiful and full of inspiring quotes, ideas, and actual hands-on projects. By the time we are done, your book will be missing a lot of pages! I plan to share photos of my own projects here and on my social media channels.

After choosing my word for 2024 (enjoy), I decided that creating a vision board would be a great way to get started on the new year. My daughter Riley has taught me the importance of this practice, and she has been really great about leading the way for me to get motivated.

Do you pick a word for the year? Ali Edwards has inspired me to choose One Little Word every year since 2008. It’s become a really special tradition, and every member of our family chooses their own word as well.

My word for 2024 is enjoy.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 is a photo editing software that works well for all kinds of photo projects. Photoshop Elements is the program I use the most for creating digital scrapbook pages. I've been a loyal PSE user since 2007, and it's been a lot of fun to see the changes over the years.
