My 100 Day Project for 2018

April 5, 2018

It’s that time of the year again: The 100 Day Project has started and I am so excited about it this year! I first heard about this incredible challenge in 2015, soon after falling ill, and decided it was a good way to keep busy while I recovered at home. (At that point I did not think I would still be at home 3 years later!) I try to take part each year, but I have yet to complete a…

Bullet Journal Layout, March 2018

My journaling has evolved much over the past few years since I discovered the Bullet Journal system. I love that this method is so flexible and streamline. The fact that my BuJo can be whatever I want it to be and if I change my mind or my style from one week to the next, it’s perfectly fine and it still works! At the start of this year I ordered a beautiful new journal, my goal was to start this…

In February I changed things up on my Instagram and created what I call a rainbow of positivity. My Bible verses and quotes now have plain backgrounds and span a lovely range of colours. I love how bright and cheerful they look and the encouraging messages they carry. Here are all the Quotes and Bible Verse graphics I made and shared on social media in February. You are welcome to download any of these images. More… How can I use…

Bullet Journal layout November 2017, ChronicallyHopeful

November 2017 Bullet Journal setup

November 1, 2017

I haven’t done one of these flip through posts in a while. My journal has evolved a bit since the last post and I’m excited to show you what I’m using now. Things are definitely more streamline and simplified. It’s no use using a bullet journal if it’s only complicating your life, so by reviewing what worked this month and what didn’t, you can focus on what enhances your life and get rid of the clutter, even in your journal!

If you’ve been hanging out on Pinterest, YouTube or Instagram, you might have heard about the Bullet Journal, but what you might not know is that a Bullet Journal is quite helpful for people with chronic illness. If you are anything like me, you collect lovely journals and have a stack of them just waiting to be used. You never know when the need will arise to use a notebook, but when that moment comes, you’ll be ready! I’ve started…

Don’t you just love the flexibility of the Bullet Journal system? I keep changing it up. Not only every month, but even weekly sometimes! It’s great that the pages are blank and I can create whatever layout and pages I need for the season I’m in. Here’s a walk through my September setup. Monthly Cover Page And Overview So once again I have changed my bullet journal layout as I found some things just weren’t working as well as they…

Bullet Journal Layout, July 2017: New Month, New Schedule, New Goals!

July 1, 2017

I discovered the bullet journal craze in 2016 while I was looking for a way to track my symptoms, medications, activity levels and appointments. Brain fog makes keeping on top of things quite difficult and I’ve always enjoyed the idea of keeping a journal, in fact I collect notebooks and paper because I always imagine all the use I could get out if them. Bullet journals in particular are very versatile and personalisable which is perfect since we all have…

Decorating My Journal Cover

June 30, 2017

I’m starting a new journal tomorrow with the start of the new month. I want to track my health: supplements, diet, symptoms, etc as well as my to do lists and blogging ideas and my schedules or routines, etc. So I spent today decorating my journal cover with a Sharpie. This is an old notebook from Poundland. I love these though, and have a few of them I have used over the years, mostly for note taking during Bible studies…

Knitting: Bianca Scarf In Autumn Colours

November 17, 2016

I’ve completed my second knitting project! So pleased with this one. It was so much fun knitting it too. It’s a kit called “Bianca” in such rich Autumn colours. I completed it last night and this morning, once my headache subsided, I added the fringe. Between the dozing off, that is. Terrible flare this past week, absolutely floored. Muscle pain all over, exhaustion, headaches, joint pains, and this overpowering sleepiness (different to the exhaustion) – all more than usual. But…
