Celebrating Ten Years of elinap – Part IX

by elinap | Nov 24, 2020

Doodle Notes x 12 (well, 13, really)

Here we are, celebrating 12 years of Mira, wow!

I chose one of my favorite doodles for each year for you (except 2015, when I had to choose two...) and only considered digitally drawn doodles (except for one of the years...), because they represent the original idea—being just doodled up—the best.

Which one is your favorite?

Doodle Notes 2014

"If I weren't afraid I would..."

What would you do?
Metaphorically

Doodle Notes 2015

"STRUGGLE = When the ego wants to keep me busy so that I don't follow my heart. ...Well, my heart has all the time in the Universe. She knows that all is well after all and anyway."

What if you stepped back and took a seat?
I bet the ego wouldn't like struggling all by itself...

"From this moment on: are you inevitably going towards what you want?"
- Marika Borg

"..Despite the struggle(s) you are facing?"

"Do I feel it deep inside?" Mira asked herself and took a moment... to breathe.

"Ha, ahem, of course" Mira gathered herself while the ego was just simply devastated bt Mira's change of mind.

Mira had realized that the struggle she had been in was less important than where she really wanted to be.

And POOF! The ego vanished!

If you really trust that all is well, you are filled with purpose to move forward.

Just trust!

Doodle Notes 2016

How to create a makeover but still love what you already do, be, and have?

In the morning, I stretch for what I want it to be like.

And in the evening I look around and feel grateful for all the beauty that is.

Inspired by Ann Wilson

Doodle Notes 2017

How does it feel to be held by the Universe?

- We are one -

This doodle is one of my all-time favorites. When I look at it, it makes my inner child feel safe and comforted. The Universe has my back.

Doodle Notes 2018

My kinda fun is taking my pencil dancing!

This was a year that I didn't draw digitally at all—my pen was kept dancing all year long.

What is your kinda fun?

Doodle Notes 2019

You are free to choose!

Even when the ego offers you new fascinating thoughts, it's okay to just ignore them...

Doodle Notes 2020

Let's keep going even if it's at the speed of a turtle.

Doodle Notes 2021

"It's YOU I want and not that ego stuff!" Mira exclaims and ditches the egos cardboard version of love...

What are you really after?

Doodle Notes 2022

When you let the world dictate your life, it goes full steam ahead without asking for your opinions (but weighing tons on your shoulders...).

But when you are in charge of your own life, you can take it at your pace!

And I think the world will enjoy that, too!

Who do you listen to?

Doodle Notes 2023

"It's me I've been waiting for!" Mira declares.

Do not wait for the world to give you a permission, it's quite comfortable on your piggyback!

Doodle Notes 2024

"I'll take this with that on the side, please," Mira makes her order and her heart confirms "That's an excellent choice!" as she takes the order.

Doodle Notes 2025

"It just keeps coming," Mira is fascinated by how love expands when it's shared.

"And there's so much more where that comes from!" her heart rejoices.

Doodle Notes 2026

This one I have already shared earlier this year, but it never grows old. How many are the times that I have caught myself being too serious, and then just doodled Mira laughing her heart out...

What makes you roll on the floor laughing?

I started blogging and had my first website created ten years ago!
This series is a sneak peek back into those days (and illustrations).

Mira(cle)Doodles by elinap

It was in November 2015 when I decided to send out my first monthly email sealing it with love and committing to stay consistent. After having gained my confidence with any 21-day challenge, I was sure that I could do this one too. And I have never missed one email!

One of the first newsletters later on turned into a whole online course called "Wrap Up the Year & Find the Gifts"

Mira(cle)Doodles by elinap

I've used Mailchimp to send out my newsletter and in 2017 I enjoyed playing with the paper dolls they gave away. Mira liked them too, very much!

Coloring pictures by elinap

Each month for a couple of years I sent out a coloring picture with coaching questions to inspire you to for example add new daily habits in your life or find ways to follow joy.

With some of the coloring pictures you could also get over fear, let go of the thoughts that no longer served you and find out what you'd want to feel instead.

Mira(cle)Doodles by elinap

With each elinap update there always comes a doodle, news on what's going on with Mira(cle)Doodles and greetings from behind the scenes too.

For a year or so at one point I also posted my newsletters once a week, but then had to return back to sending them out only once a month.

Now for the past year I have offered a sneak peek into my doodle notebooks as unlisted videos where I show how and what I've doodled this year while studying A Course in Miracles Workbook through for the third time. 

And now I'm considering my plans for 2021!

What should I include in
the monthly updates now?

That is the question...
