New Year 🎉 New goal setting?!

I set up Feed My Creative on the 1st January 2016. Every year, on my anniversary, I start a fresh new notebook.
I look back at my very first notebook to reflect on what I originally envisioned FMC to be, what I wanted to achieve, and what the future could look like. From there, I start planning, taking it three months at a time, and continue in that way for the rest of the year.

However, last year I decided to do something a little different. Instead of starting from the beginning, I flipped ahead about 20 pages and wrote myself a question:
Is a master’s still an option? Who? What? Where? When?
Then, I returned to the start of the book to continue as usual.

When I came back to that page, I had to answer my own question. I spent the day researching which university had the best programs for me, open days, and all the other details.

I’ve continued this process through about half the notebook (which, I’ll admit, is quite a thick book). So now, whenever I come across these big questions, I know I need to address them.

This year, on the first of January, I did something different again. Instead of starting a fresh book, I decided there were still things to be done. I didn’t want to leave a book unfinished. As a result, I’m still working in the same notebook, still manifesting what I need to do and what I want to achieve.

Moral of the story: Write it into existence. Say it out loud. Things may not happen right away, but you have to believe it and take steps to make it happen.

I am responsible for my own personal and professional development, and in September 2024, I started my (part-time) MA in Craft at Manchester Metropolitan University.

I wrote it into existence and made it happen!
