Here's Day 9 & Day 10 on the 12 Days of Reflection Challenge - Day 9 & Day 10

12 Days of Reflection 2011 Challenge - Day 6

Day 6: Today it's all about the music in our lives for #reflect11... It's Saturday, so take a min
 while you're traveling, at the hair dresser, or on the shopping line to think about the music

that has inspired, empowered, or just sounded sooo good in your life for 2011!! 

“What is the song or soundtrack to represent 2011 for YOU?” In this day and age, most of

us have ipods, mp3 players, or some of us still play a few records. What music selection(s)

can you say represented your year?

Have an amazing Saturday!
Blessings,
Shanti

12 Days of Reflection 2011 Challenge - Day 2

Good Morning and welcome to Day 2 of "12 Days of Reflection Challenge!" Today’s question/prompt is “What were some thankful moments of 2011?” 

This was inspired by a beautiful group of sistas I’m apart of called Thanksgiving Tuesday, where we use our Tuesdays to reflect on what we’re thankful for!  I decided to paint my page gold in reference to Jill Scott’s song “Golden” and use bits and pieces of paper I cut out!

Here it goes:

-Afternoon tea with my mum

-For the experiences good and bad. They made me stronger

-Text messages from my besties

-For meeting so many inspiring people

-Creative days and nights

-Dates with my honey!

-Hugs from my father!

-Visits with my 2^nd family!

I love reading so many different responses and I’m so thankful for everyone sharing them. There’s something so amazing about sharing your experiences because you find yourself either relating to the person or know someone in your life who has a similar experience. Let’s continue this journey of self reflection and allow ourselves to let go so we can be refreshed for 2012!

You will find each reflection on my Aye’ Shanti DesignsFacebook Page, posted in the Event Section, here on my blog or on Twitter. Have fun and share your entries! If you post about your reflections, tag your friends and also use the hashtag: #reflect11! If you blog about it, share it, and I will definitely tweet and share the links.

Have  a lovely afternoon,

Shanti

 I decided to use some magazine clippings in my first entry!

 I found this image in Urban Outfitters catalog and loved how serene this sista looked petting the horse... Oh and I love her denim outfit with scarf... and her hair! (hint hint 2012)

Here's my #reflect11

So if I had to name 2011, I would call it, SURVIVAL... I feel so blessed with all that's in my life from my home, my honeybun, my family, framilies lol, and just awesome people in my life, despite the ups and downs with getting a business together, learning to listen to my inner self more and as Tim Gunns would say "Making it Work"... I have nothing to complain but just SURVIVE... it has literally been the building block and foundation for my 2012. I claim 2012 to have a first and last name: BOLD & BRILLIANT. I see fabulousness, fun times, more creativity and just a colorful experience. I am so excited that even though it's for 2012, I'm already starting and letting the names reflect my life!! *EXHALE*

Can't wait to share tomorrow's Reflection Prompt!

Have an amazing day!

Blessings,

Shanti
