What I’ve learnt so far for 2021

I had the week off between Christmas and New Year - so nice. Needless to say I didn't get as much writing or blogging done as I wanted. One of my excuses is that the coffee shops were not open due to restrictions and I would have blogged there. Lame I know but I'm going …

My word for 2021

I struggled with this. I didn't come up with a word that resonated with me until 2021! On January 1st I took things into my own hands. I grabbed my SHE Deck (has lots of words and motivation on the cards). I closed my eyes and tossed the deck into the air and onto the …

What caught my eye in the past month

Happy New Year.  May 2021 be full of possibilities and opportunities.   The following sites caught my eye in December.   Hope something catches your! What caught my eye here was some of the design choices.  Check out Style at home and let me know what you think. You mention brick and I have to check it out.  Apartment …

#2021wordchallenge

I always like a project. Last year we came up with 2020 Instagram Challenge.  This was in December 2019 before the world turned upside down.  It involved picking four words (one for each week of the month) and posting a picture on Instagram of what that word meant to us that month. Some words and …

Update on collection and marathon

A few weeks ago I posted asking for help!  See post here.  I wanted to do something new this holiday season.  Two things really.  First start a Christmas collection.   Second find a marathon I could watch over my vacation.  I have over a week off - excited. I promised I would report back on all …

Working on my word for 2021

This time last year when I was thinking about a word for 2020, I had no idea what was coming down the line.  My 2020 word was "fierce." I wanted a word that would spur me into doing uncomfortable and scary things that were good for me. I figured I would have to be fierce …

Something new for Christmas and I need your help

This has been a rough year. I don't think anyone could have predicted a global pandemic and a shutdown on this scale.  This time last year I was thinking 2020 - a new decade and possibilities. So many things were and could happen. Never was a pandemic one of my possibilities. I have tried (and …

Sharing my Christmas

A few of us over at Sharing Inspiring Promoting Bloggers decided to band together and do a Christmas post.  Something fun.  So we are going to share 12 Christmas things. I'm using the word "things" as it can be anything from traditions, food, ornaments, well you name it.  I’ll link to the other bloggers at …

What caught my eye in the past month

Deep breath. Last month of 2020 and holidays are fast approaching.  I know a lot of people that are decorating for Christmas early this year.  We have more time with closures and want to enjoy the lights and decorations longer.  Make the most of what you have and do what brings you joy. The following …

We are creatives and we don’t care what society says

Melissa Gilbert in her book Big Magic said we are all creative and I believe that. She says let go of perfection and create.  I think we have to redefine what we think creative is.  It is not just being a writer, painter, sculptor, potter and/or poet.   I feel it is broader than that.  It …
