Fair February

Hello fair, fierce, frosty February!  January blew by with such lovely chapters left behind.  I loved Singapore and time with Christie, I've loved lunches, bath house visits and long chats with my Seoul ladies. I have loved catching up with friends and family from back home, and also for long luxurious evenings snuggled in with my main squeeze.  I loved goodbye hugs and smiles from amazing little dancers with big, big hearts... 

If February is the month of L.O.V.E. we already got a great jump start to it! 

I didn't get it ALL done, but here are some of my focus points for last month: 

JOYful January:

1. Winter Cleaning: Dec/Jan Goal: Clean&Sort through office: yup, still working on this one

2. Winter Cleaning: Dec/Jan Goal: Clean&Sort porch: still working! Good thing I made it Dec/JANUARY Goal!

UMM...#1 and 2 Fail. I was having far too much fun.  February Goal?!3. Complete China posts YES! I loved reliving each delightful detail, but I also like being DONE! 
4. Work on Singapore posts These are started and will be going up soon! 
5. End of work BASH Just enjoyed this one last night:) Love that Kate girl...
6. Go find a back alley eat Enjoyed checking out Berlin for Jess's birthday! 
7. Hanging with Christie! Adventures, laughs, excitement abound! :Blog about it! Working on them, but you got a good taste of our ramblings in Seoul thus far!
8. Thank you notes to family and friends Thank you phone calls work, right?!
9.  Start organising other big change (reveal later)  We are on it, but can't disclose all just yet.
10. Start working on spring big trip (reveal later) Loving the planning for this, and I am so excited to find creative ways to break the news! 

As this month starts, I am feeling very motivated and ready to listen.  This poem by Shel Silverstein says it all for me at the moment: 

This month is going to carry the theme of LISTEN for me.  

Listening to what my mind, body and soul needs.  Listening to the call of the city, to adventures round simple corners.  Listening to friends' laughter, trials, or just to check in and chat.  We are entering a somewhat stressful time in our household, but if we can listen to one another and ourselves, I know we will pull through with strength.  With my contract up, it is also time to listen to the ticking of the clock, and focus in on what needs to be done, all those things I've put off because I was consumed with work.  Onwards and upwards!

Fair February, what shall be my Focus?

1. Finish Singapore/Christie posts

2. Find 7 new activities/places in Seoul 

3. Try 5 new fitness workouts

4. Share some love: Snail Mail to family & friends

5. Finalize clean-up of studio space & work thank yous

6. Create Something Special for my Valentine;)

7. Organize & Clean:  The office

10. Organize & Clean: The porch and area behind aircon unit

It is a big month of to-dos, and when I'm bored or can't stand it any longer...it will be time to exercise it off, arrange a new fabulous get away in the city, or help send a little more love out into the universe <3 p="">

Another perfect mantra for me this month: 

Smiling, breathing, working on going slowly:)

Happy February!
