Just watched Kristin Tweedale’s presentation on creating a little book of your thoughts and feelings throughout the year. I worked on the title page and the Currently page. I think I’d like to do “More & Less” next! If you also created a little book, I’d love to see it! It’s such a cute idea! Side note: I recently finished coloring a diy puzzle where each piece was colored randomly. I loved it because it was the kind of art that only took a couple of minutes for each piece and I could take it outside to watch my kids play. This little book fulfills that same need. It’s big enough to get joy out of it, but small enough to not feel too overwhelming.

Which means we get to talk about our favorite topic. At HobbyScool, we believe hobbies are more than pastimes — they’re powerful tools for creativity, clarity, and confidence. Some people use their hobbies to relax. Some to express themselves. Some to build businesses. All are valid. All matter. So I’m curious:What hobby has made the biggest impact on your life — creatively, emotionally, or even financially? Drop it in the comments 👇You might inspire someone else to finally start theirs.

Thank you for the summit! I received a lot of great information and tools!

I watched and enjoyed all the presentations today, plus the replay of the Vibe Board Workshop. A SHOUTOUT goes to Amy Joy for your Vibe Board workshop. I enjoyed your presentation, and my Aha Moment is to think about how I want to feel this year instead of making resolutions. Earlier today, I decided I was going to do one of the worksheets or workbooks that we’ve received as free gifts after watching all the videos. Since Amy’s was the last video I watched, I decided to work on the New Year New Energy Vibe Board Workshop Workbook since my mindset was already on that material. I’ve included some pics of some of what I’ve accomplished so far. I plan on printing these pics out and including them at my command center for this year. One of the speakers in today’s video mentioned a habits book, but I can’t remember who and what the title and author was. It’s not the Atomic Habits. That was mentioned another day, and I have that book. I started reading it a couple of years ago but never finished it. I plan on starting over and reading it this year. I hope to do that next month. If anyone knows what book I’m referring to please let me know. Thanks Everyone for your Presentations & Freebies!!!!
