I thought I had my word set for 2025 a long time ago. I was ready for it. Prepared. This year my word was going to be "Consistency". In 2018 my word was supposed to be "Routine" but I ended up changing it to Faith. This year I thought consistency would be great. I wanted to get some order in my life. Follow a set of rules when I wake up and go to…
Read moreI’ve never really been into football before. Usually preferring motorbike racing than football. It’s still my preferred sport however since meeting my boyfriend in 2020 I have found myself to now be a fan of football. Something I didn’t think I’d ever say. Until recently if you asked me to name football players I would still be naming Teddy Sheringham, Ryan Giggs, Pa…
Read moreA little update on how I’m doing with my word of the year. “Authentic”. I’ve just got back from an amazing weekend away with my wonderful boyfriend. We went to Butlin’s in Bognor Regis for the 90’s Weekender. My boyfriend often calls me a 90’s girl…I still listen to 90’s music and one of my “quirks” (as he puts it) is still being a big fan of Right Said Fred (sadly …
Read moreBack in 2018 I joined in with “Word of the Year” or “Word for the Year”. I suppose it’s a bit like a New Years Resolution but instead of picking lots of things to “give up” or “start doing” you pick a word that you will live by that year. My previous chosen words were 2018 - Routine….which I then changed to Faith. 2019 - Be 2020 - You 2021 and 2022- Mental health w…
Read moreInitially my word for 2018 was 'Routine' but I realised later on that it wasn't the right fit and naturally it has changed to be 'Faith' . 2019 my word was 'Be' and I felt like that was such a good fit and a good word to go with for the year. Something simple, something that made sense and didn't bring any kind of pressure or feelin…
Read moreLooking back on my posts I was sure I had done "my word for..." in 2017 but it seems last year was the only year I took part. At the end of December I started thinking about what my word would be, and I came up with what I thought was the perfect name....and then I forgot it. So I figured it wasn't my word. I then stressed a bit because I thoug…
Read moreOn the 17th of January I posted my ' Word for 2018 ', I started it with good intentions. Routine. That was my word, and I was fully set to be able to put this into action and to be in this rhythm of near perfect organisation. I didn't anticipate moving house, or take into account how life is still pretty much muddled by being a solo parent and how har…
Read moreAlthough I've always liked the idea of having a certain word to live by and to influence your life and help guide you I'd never really managed to pin a word down really and felt I tried to hard. Whilst writing other posts which revolve around looking back at this year and looking forward to next year one word kept jumping into my mind and I gathered it w…
