#heresto2021

First small batch of items coming to the new Novelty By Shafer. Facebook store soon! Finally after a year of planning, it’s finally happening!

Here’s to 2021

Hello friends!  I know I tend to pop in here at the beginning of the year and then disappear, but I’m going to try something a little different this year.  If you’ve read any of my old posts, you know that I don’t like New Year’s resolutions, but I am passionate about setting goals at the beginning of a year.  I know that sounds like splitting hairs, but I believe that there is too much fragility around the idea of a New Year’s resolution.  Goals are something you work toward no matter the year, but you can start your year with specific goals in mind and set themes of intention for yourself.

So that’s what I am doing today.  I am here to set my intentions for the year.  Why Tumblr?  You’ll see, just keep reading. :)

This year I plan to intentionally move toward these goals:

Listen to my body, love my body, and move my body for joy, not punishment

Love myself exactly as I am

Learn to save up for something instead of purchasing and paying it off later

Walk the path to become a homeowner

Continue writing! (50K words on novel before November, short stories as practice, blog posts, just write)

Practice drawing (specifically focus on feathers and people this year)
