- Bullet Journal Update: I thought I’d share a couple pics from my new Bullet Journal. I chose the Leuchtturm1917 HardCover Master Slim Notebook A4+ in black with dotted pages. A4 is a bit larger than 8 1/2 x 11 so the back pocket can fit a standard sheet of paper without folding it. So far, I’m doing all right with it. I’m used to a sketchbook size generally but not necessarily for note taking. I’m also trying not to get to “pretty” with it but I can’t help using colored pens. As you can see from the calendar pages below, I’m good at planning, but not so much with tracking…
- What I rediscovered this week: Tangrams! It’s a Chinese puzzle game where you create pictures using 7 shapes (5 triangles, 1 square, 1 parallelogram). In my quest for busy-mind games for my smart phone, I found the free TaniZen app. I’ve discovered it’s a little easier than using the physical puzzle pieces as you can move the pieces over the picture shape you’re challenged to match, and the app gives you hints…
- My favorite dream interpretation this week:
Shoes:
1. Shabby or worn-out old shoes are a symbol of success, while new shoes warn against overconfidence.
2. If the dreamer is buying shoes, he is embarking on a new journey.
3. A shoemaker at work hints at new opportunities on the horizon.

Tarot parallel: The Fool - My favorite Abraham quote this week:
“Overwhelment is about you not being up to speed with what you told the Universe that you want. The Universe is yielding to you. You’re just not ready to receive it right now.” —Abraham

“I had never seen a real angel. But in all my many imaginings, I never pictured one with tattoos and blue hair “ - My favorite writing quote this week:
“You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.” –Joss Whedon - My favorite from the inter-webs: Microsoft Word has been a thorn in my side this week. I’m working with a very large file that has multiple paragraph formatting going on and text wrap around images, etc. In an effort to get Word to “think” less and break paragraphs across pages without adding extra lines, I did a bit of Word research and found these two resources.
MakeOfficeWork basically goes through each function on the Word actions ribbon and all the action window function giving you a down-to-earth description of what each does. Most helpful in forming realistic expectations of what Word can/should do.

WordRibbon.Tips.net goes into a bit more detail and is project focused. So, if you want to learn how to create a letterhead template, add a background to your document and booklet printing. There is a lot of good information here, but be prepared to wander about a bit (but in a good way).

I started a BuJo last summer. Then things went kind-of-epic sideways in my life, and the BuJo drifted. I think it might be time to dust it back off and try again. 🙂 Your BuJo is delightfully zen–restful and uncluttered! Mine looks like a black ink bomb went off in it…and then attempted to make babies. 😀
