Writing goals is something that my family grew up doing. While we usually complained about it, I have learned over the years that making goals helps to cultivate a more full appreciation for the accomplishments over the course of a year. Goals are also a wonderful way to make life happen instead of letting life happen. This year, my husband and I used a little road map for making goals that we really enjoyed. I have shared it below in case anyone is interested!
Make one BIG goal for 2015
(ie. Go to Europe, Finish your Scrapbook, Find a New Job, Renovate your
Kitchen, etc.)
Next make goals for:
Next make goals for:
- Money
- Family
- Health
- Home
- Faith
- Work
Think about and make goals for:
A habit to break
A skill to master
A book to read
Somewhere new to go
Kind of cool to think about, right? I also came up with a daily set of goals to remind myself about. My mantras for 2015 include:
Be Brave || See the Good || Exercise Patience || Be Kind || Forgive Easily
Since I am a visual person, I decided to make some reminders to put around the house and at work. One of my projects included a gold and black canvas of "Be Brave."
DIY Be Brave Canvas
Supplies:
- Canvas (I used an 8x10)
- Gold paint (You can use any color) or gold foil
- Additional paint in desired color (I used black paint)
- Letter cutouts, painters tape or sticker stencils
- Top coating as desired (I used glossy finishing spray)
Directions:
1. Cover canvas with the paint color that you want the letters to appear in. I attempted to use gold foil on a canvas but it was a bit of a painstaking process. I would suggest using a gold spray paint for a project like this.

2. Using your stencil letters/cutouts/tape, cover the areas that you
want in your base color. I used sticker stencils to make my letters stay gold.
3. Spray or paint over the letters to make your top color. In my case,
I covered the whole canvas in black.
4. Let the paint dry a bit before peeling away the
letters/cutouts/tape.
5. I sprayed a glossy top coat for a shiny visual but you could leave
as is if you like a matte look.
