If you have been here for a while, you will know that I like to choose a word that will be a guiding force for the year. Some years, it has been a powerful way to help me move forward; some years, I have barely even thought about the word. Last year, the word 'brave'… Continue reading Word of the Year 2025
Last year, my word of the year was CONNECTION. This was by far the easiest word to keep in my mind throughout the year of any word I have ever chosen. Whenever I wanted to make a decision, feel happier, seek answers or find understanding, connection was always the answer. This has made choosing my… Continue reading Word of the Year 2024
My 2023 Word of the Year is Connection and I think this has been such a wonderful word to keep at the heart of my choices this year (and ongoing I think). Here are just five examples of how I have put connection first: Booking trips and holidays that focus on family time; Putting down… Continue reading Five Ways I Have Chosen Connection
My intention to connect more with friends this year has started very well indeed. Today I was treated to lunch with a relatively new good friend - one of the mums from Austin’s class. We always have such great chats and have so much in the way of shared experiences, especially with our six/seven year… Continue reading Connecting with Friends
I hadn't chosen a word year yet. I haven't found it particularly useful of late; maybe that is just because the last couple of years have been so full of uncertainty. My word for 2021 was 'hope' and I am not sure I could’ve chosen another given the circumstances. However, I don’t know if it… Continue reading Living boldly
If you have followed me for longer than a year then you will know by now that I like to choose a word of the year. Last year’s choice was BOLD and boy, did we all need that word given the year that we have had. Since 2020 went against all our expectations, I am… Continue reading A Word
It's taken me a couple of weeks to pin this one down. I am not planning on working through the Ali Edwards One Little Word workshop the year, I do want to pick the right word as a way of focusing on what is important for me this year. I had quite a list of… Continue reading Bold – my word of the year
As I write this, I am feeling a strange kind of gratitude to my word of 2019. Worth is a weighty word. One that scared me a little when I chose it because unlike my word of 2018, I knew it was the right one straight away. I did not journal or scrapbook this year or… Continue reading Goodbye Worth, Hello ..?
Last year, I worked through the One Little Word workshop properly for the first time (in previous years, I have chosen a word in January and then barely thought about it for the rest of the year). I really enjoyed the process although the word - FIND - never did manage to fit for some… Continue reading One Little Word – Worth
One of my 18 for 2018 items was to get my One Little Word album prepared for the year. I did most of this early on in January but one of the cards asks you to reflect back on the story of the month so I have only just finished the prompts for January today.… Continue reading One Little Word – Find
