This will be my tenth year choosing a word. In many ways, I can’t believe I have stuck with this practice for a decade! It has been one of my most favorite things I have discovered for accountability, growth and focus. Some years my word comes quickly and concretely, I know it’s my word. Other […]
My 2023 Word
It’s a beautiful snowy morning here today as I sip my warm lemon water and look out my window at the trees all covered with snow. It’s a true winter wonderland out my window and I love it. There is a stillness and peace that falling snow brings that is hard to explain, it’s a […]
2022 My Word for the Year Wrap Up
My word for 2022 was Discipline. Not a favorite cutesy word like flourish was but it was definitely a much-needed word for me. Looking back on this past year, I would say it was a good year for discipline. Being in your mid 40’s is a ride. Lots of changes happening both physically and just […]
Last Quarter Finish
It’s October 1st and the last quarter of 2022, crazy! The changing of the seasons is something I look forward to, yes, even winter for a brief amount of time. And with winter comes thoughts of finishing out 2022 strong and beginning anew in 2023. Discipline is my word for this year. Definitely not my […]
My word of the year for 2022
My word for 2021 was Connection. You can read more about how that went, here. To be honest, I was thinking maybe I didn’t even want to do a word this year. Some years I really connect with the word and others I kind of forget about. Not super encouraging I suppose but I really […]
My 2021 Word of the Year
Last year I chose FREEDOM as my word for 2020. Yes, let’s all collectively laugh or cry at the same time as 2020 was the year of lockdowns and restrictions. While maybe it didn’t feel like a year of freedom with lockdowns and weirdness with the rona, God had a lesson for me. Freedom doesn’t […]
2020 Word of the Year
Happy almost end of January! I always look forward to January and February as it is usually a slower time of the year where I can focus on my word for the year, read some books, journal, dig into my bible and just hunker down, refuel and rest. My word for 2019 was Light. In […]
2019 Word of the Year
Happy New Year Friends! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas season. It always seems to go by so quickly. We enjoyed almost two weeks off and it was so good for our family. I actually didn’t do much which is weird for me but again, I think it was just what I needed […]
My Word for The Year
Happy New Year friends! I can’t believe it’s only been 5 days since New Years, feels like it was weeks ago. December was such a weird month for us this year that I don’t feel like we even had Christmas. We spent Christmas in Texas this year on the beach with some dear friends. A […]
