one word

My “one word” for 2021 came so quickly and easily this year, and it has still taken me until March to write about it. But better late than never, right? I opened up my scriptures for our new study of the Doctrine & Covenants back in January, and the first…

Happy New Year! We are up in a glorious winter wonderland and I’ve meant to sit down and post these New Years ideas for a few days but phew! There’s a lot going on up here! And I’ve been living it up I tell you! But it’s 2020! And although…

My friend Vanessa (yes, the one who started Chatbooks…she’s pretty awesome!) asked me to talk with her on her #momforce podcast about the “one word” dealio I do each year. She figured it would be a good way for moms to start into their pondering about the big 2020 right…

Well, now that it is the middle of November, I figure it’s a good time to unveil my “one word” for 2018.  Ha!  I think it’s taken me the first ten months of the year to wrap my head around that little word. It is MINDFUL. I was hesitant to…

Dang it, I wanted to write about this a long time ago because it came to me so easy this year, but I guess I was too busy doing it to actually write about it before now, and I guess that’s what it’s all about, right?  So here we go.…

My “word” for 2013 came to me as I was driving down the street right past my children’s school one sunny day in early January.  (More on what the “one word” dealio is here.) Of course, as usual, I had a bunch of word options swirling around in my mind. …

Remember back here where Christine from “Simple Starfish” sent me a necklace with my “one word” on it to help me remember it all year long? Well, she was kind enough to send me another one this year with my new word “see” stamped into it.(To read about why I…

Usually my “word” for the year comes to me slowly. Gradually. (I take this “one word” business pretty seriously.) But this year my word arrived quite unexpectedly before I had even started to mull over what I was aiming for. It happened to be at a time when I was…
