Happy Monday everyone! How are you? How was the weekend? Mine involved working a fair bit so I'm not feeling totally fresh this morning, but fresh enough.
I haven't posted a word of the month post this year because I couldn't really settle on just one word - sometimes assigning yourself something just because it's the beginning of the month doesn't feel all that genuine does it? So instead I waited for the word to come to me, and while I've spent a fair bit of time the past couple of weeks working through finding my own voice and reprioritising some things, a word that keeps coming back to me is 'clarity.'
My Very Contradictory Mantras for 2017...

H A P P Y N E W Y E A R!
And happy back to reality week! How was the festive break for you? Did you get anything particulalry lovely for Christmas? See everyone you hoped to? Switch off entirely or become some kind of productivity hermit, squirrelled away in a fortress of blankets and yet still managing to rule the world?
I personally ended up switching off entirely for the week and a half (or however long it was) and as unintentional as it was, I wouldn't go back and do it differently even if I could. Somehow it seemed kind of fitting to end 2016 in that way.
For me last year, was in many ways, a bit none descript. Yes historically, 2016 will go down as having many MANY descriptive's added to it, but personally, I guess I don't feel like very much changed for me.
Happy & Grateful

H A P P Y D E C E M B E R !
I know I've posted already this month, but I don't think I've actually said that yet!
I'm cheating a little this month as instead of picking just one word to focus on, I'm going with two - but Christmas is a time to over indulge right? And other than 'over indulging' there are only two other words I could possibly have chosen to focus on this festive season... happy and grateful.
December for many of us will be a time to reflect, on the good and the not so good. Like you I am contemplating what HAS TO CHANGE for 2017 but in a year that has been tough for many of us, I want to make sure that I not only focus on all the good but that I let the world know just how grateful I am for it.
Intentional

Hey everyone! Hope your week has gotten off to a good start!
I had planned for this months word to be FOCUSED but given that this post is already a day late going up, I felt focused wasn't quite right. Focused suggests a certain amount of goal setting and achieving. Of having a plan and sticking to it with absolute, well, focus. And while that sounds wonderful, and yes I would like some of that in my life, right now, having a strict plan, doesn't feel quite right for me.
STYLE
Monday, 3 October 2016
Oh my god it's October. I thought about all the ways I could open this post without referencing how fast this year has gone, but still emphasing that OH MY GOD IT'S OCTOBER, and that is the best I came up with, so moving on...
A new month means a new word for me to focus on. After having a BRAVE September, focusing on personal growth and generally being an adult, choosing 'STYLE' as October's word might seem like an odd follow up, but it is something I've been thinking a lot about lately.
I'm not a fashion blogger. I don't think I've ever posted an outfit post on here, and other than the odd item in my Sunday Loves list, fashion or clothes are barely ever mentioned here on A Cup Of Creative. And before you start thinking I'm going through another rebrand, that isn't something I imagine changing in any huge way, any time soon. However, while clothes might not be a big part of my blog, they've always been a fairly big part of my life (and my bank statement).
