MOVE ~ 2014

I'm afraid I am failing at my goal of being a "blogger"...that said, here I am!  SO this year instead of a New Year's resolution, I chose to participate in One Little Word with Ali Edwards whereby you choose a word that will be your focus for the coming year.  Ali says that sometimes you find your word, and sometimes it finds you.  For me, choosing the word was easy...and I'm not sure if I chose it or it chose me.  For several years now, Duane has wanted to sell our house...the bungalow we've been renovating for what seems like forever.  We all know this is my dream more than his, but he's been such a good sport.  Well, I've finally agreed...it's time.  This is mostly due to the reoccurring knee surgeries I seem destined to have until the end of time...three stories does not bode well for someone {blessed} with my knees.  In addition, Duane {and I if I'm being honest}, are simply tired.  We need a break from renovation.  So...my ONE LITTLE WORD for 2014 is {MOVE}.

Happy New Year!

Well hello there 2014!  I'm excited to begin this year with BIG PLANS!  First, I'm embarking on the One Little Word Challenge with Ali Edwards whereby you identify ONE WORD that will be your "theme" for the year.  In addition, I'm also enrolled in Brene' Brown's Gifts of Imperfection class with Katy and FINALLY, I've decided to do Project Life this year with Treena.  Each of these projects are SERIOUS in their undertaking...requiring commitment and time...but each has its REWARDS as well!  I'm hopeful they will lead me to a better understanding of myself, a better relationship with my girls and fulfill a creative NEED for me.  I'm just finishing up my December Daily (also with Ali Edwards) and I LOVE it!  Most of all, I LOVED that it helped me to FOCUS on making each day COUNT!
