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
This year I have been enjoying the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast as well as Happier in Hollywood. Gretchen and Liz (her TV writer sister) are creating 18 for 2018 lists and since I have been missing my birthday lists, I thought I'd jump on board. I have made most of them finite things I can do… Continue reading 18 for 2018
When I was really struggling with Austin and wondering why it seemed so much harder than last time (apart from the obvious things like me being older, Austin not being Evelina etc.), I realised that what was making it hard was not being in a routine. I was feeding him every two hours, on demand… Continue reading Living on Purpose
Every January for the past three years, I have chosen a word to focus on. Last year was Nurture - I did a lot of that but I also didn't really focus on it like I'd hoped. The joy of motherhood sometimes means that life seems to be passing by, like you're on a train… Continue reading Balance
