try something new month

For several weeks now, I’ve been keeping an idea notebook, jotting down little bits and pieces of inspiration or thoughts or whathaveyou that occur to me. Things I want to try out, things I like and have an itch to pass along, etc.

Then I thought, “Why not a Try Something New month?”

This notebook was one that I picked up in Italy. There was a whole host of various notebooks and I wanted to get this one as a sketchbook for Andy. I loved, among other things, the Helvetica font and the very simple and straightforward message.

Be Open to New Ideas. Delay No More.

So often, those little bits that all come together are the things that make life feel more refreshing and exciting. I think it’s fallacy on some level that one outfit, one relationship, one trip, one book, one whatever is going to “fix it.” 

Nah.

Not one thing.

Lots of little things.

So, okay–at various points throughout the month of February, I’ll be posting “Try Something New” entries, in which I share with you some little tidbit that I think is fun, introduce you to a cool book or website or artist, or share a concept–the kind I am inclined to share in The Courageous Year.

You can decide if you’d like to Try Something New. Think of it like the Job Suckage Challenge (which you can re-read by clicking the Job Suckage category on the left-hand side), a little practice to step into.

Try Something New–just what we need to get us through these last six weeks or so of winter, and into the sunshine.
