December Reflections - 2019 - Word of the Year

Every year for the last 6 years I've chosen a Word of the Year to guide me.

2014 - Courage

2015 - Change

2016 - Focus

2017 - Believe

2018 - Create

2019 - Dance

For 2020 I've chosen "Drive."  Here is the picture I'm using to visualize it.  It is from the little scrapbook I made for my sister when I taught her to drive.

I also put a phrase in a locket that I wear so I have a reminder all the time.

Follow One Course Until Successful

Believe in what you feel inside and give your dreams the wings to fly.

I may use the same phrase as under the picture of the car, above, or find another one to put in the locket this year.

If you are interested in choosing a word for the year, I recommend the "Find Your Word" free course from Susannah Conway.  She will send a short email each day for 5 days to help you find "your" word.  It is surprising how often the word comes up during the year, even when I am not particularly thinking about it.  Try it and see!

Jazzy January - 2016

January 2 -

JAZZY - Adjective

1) of, resembling, or in the style of jazz
2) bright, colorful and showy

Synonyms:  funky, hip, vibrant, lively, spirited, bold, exciting, flamboyant, showy, gaudy, flashy, brightly-colored, striking, impactful, eye-catching, vivid.

Don't those words sound great to go along with my word of the year, Focus?

Vivid, eye-catching, brightly-colored.

A word to kick start this new year.

Lots of ideas swirling around in my mind, new things to try, adventures to undertake.  I'll be making my vision cards for the year this weekend and starting to focus on the most important ones.

In addition to the Reading Challenge, keeping up this blog is one of them.  I had 133 blog posts last year.  I'm gonna shoot for 216 in 2016.  I hope you'll come along on the journey with me.
