12 themes seems very ambitious to me because I am terrible at remembering all the promises I make to myself at the beginning of the year. I stick with one theme or word for the year which I can manage returning to. 2023 is Making Do, which I am making a bit of a project out of. I'm still thinking about the parameters of this, but will definitely include a focus on using what I have in my creative space, and not purchasing more weaving, knitting, sewing materials. I'm thinking of an outright shopping ban for non-essentials starting in mid-February (just after my birthday) to facilitate this.
Your themes seem very well-placed with the months of the year though, some of them very naturally flowing from the season you are in - I look forward to hearing more as you encounter them this year.
Thanks Megan, and I could see that. It remains to be seen whether I’ll stick to them, but I’ve been pretty good about reviewing my plans and ideas throughout the year for the last couple of years, mostly thanks to keeping a journal. I’ve discovered that I am a VERY ritualistic person, so stuff like this works for me.
I like the new-stuff ban. I went a year with no new clothes once, and I really enjoyed it. Fabric, yarn, and art supplies would be tough.
