Word of intent ATC's

The Blissfully Art Journal was offering a Word of Intent ATC challenge, where you illustrate 5 of the Words of Intent that women selected for 2010, and in return, you receive 5 illustrations of YOUR word.

I thought it was a great challenge, to see how other people interpret YOUR theme.

My word for 2010 is Heart. A path with heart.

I can already feel the changes in my life. Choosing to engage on a path with heart has meant that I can no longer allow toxic relationships in my life. I need all my energy and concentration to BE on that path, and to allow my heart to open.

I would have thought that with such a word, I would have wanted to be more open, more available, more 'Mother Theresa". On the contrary, I find that I'm more selective on how I spend my time, so that I can fully give of my heart.

Here is how I interpret "Decide" for my lovely friend Janet who likes bright colors:


This one is The Happiness Project, where -as I undertand it- everyday, you try to spread a bit of happiness, for yourself and for others.

This one is called 'Delight".

This one is Happiness. It was a bit odd to have "happiness' and the happiness project in the same draw, but they are in fact, a slightly different focus. As I understand it, of course.
This last one is called Hope
