My Word for 2020
Initially 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…

Dear 2020
Looking over my ‘ Dear 2019 ’ post I actually felt really proud of myself. “in 2019 I am going to make me more important. Looking after myself, my needs, my wants, my feelings. Make me a priority and to look after myself, no matter what the consequences are.” “I've not had the best start to the year, but, I will not let that define how my year will be. …

My Word for 2019
Looking 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…

Dear 2019
Dear 2019 You have a lot to live up to. Last year was great. It obviously had its down times, in fact a few of those with two deaths in the family, one of which I am finding it incredibly hard to still come to terms with, as well as the passing of a blogging friend. It was definitely one of those "life is for living" reminders. I wrote my Dea…

How I got on with my Word for 2018
On 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…

33 Favourite Things
As it was my 33rd birthday yesterday I wanted to mark it with some kind of blog post, other than the post I wrote Just another day. I couldn't quite decide what to do. 33 facts, 33 quotes, etc. And yesterday when I was driving and listening to a certain soundtrack I realised I wanted to do a post on 33 of my favourite things. 1. Love 2. Humour/sarcasm…

My Word for 2018
Although 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…

Dear 2018
I wrote a post titled this in 2016 and then failed to do one for 2017 which was a little frustrating as I had it sat, unfinished, in drafts for quite a while. Anyway. I sat down to write this post a few times, but didn't get anywhere. Clearly not in the right frame of mind. Today I sat and opened my laptop and knew what to write, a clear vision. As I …
