Fun Fact: I started using a word of the year to guide my goal planning way back in 2013. I actually had to go dig through the archives to see. That is a benefit to blogging for as long as I have! In that post I said "can we make February 1st the new January 1st?" Even back then I was moving slowly into the New Year. Nothing has changed. Here I am, still slowly working my way through goal … [Read more...] about Word of the Year and Living Your Best Life

{31 Days} When You Just Need a Break!

I talked a bit yesterday about making lists, and I realized I could easily write an entire post on my love of list making. I don’t remember why I started making lists so many years ago, but I did, and I am thankful for that practice now. Lists can be used for good and for bad. You wouldn’t think that of something as simple as a list, but it is the truth, and I will explain it to you … [Read more...] about {31 Days} Lists as a Tool not a Barrier
