2*0*1*5 WOW! I remember my grandpa Fred saying that the years start going by quicker and quicker as you get older! I didnt believe him then... but I sure do now! New Years Resolutions? Word of the Year? After so many years at failing New Years resolutions.. a girl just gives up hope on them and switches to the WORD of the year! They say, Sometimes a single word can change everything! I believe that! A couple of years ago I struggled with believing... {Trust me- the list of what I struggled with is far too long to list here!!! LOL!} So, I choose the word BELIEVE, hoping that it had the potential to inspire me & create intention in my life! I incorporated it into my thoughts and goals over the last couple of years. The word believe itself spoke volumes to me and I ended up getting a tattoo on my left wrist just to remind me to BELIEVE! That WORD is amazing and it has really been my saving grace! Now that you know I am a thinker, dreamer and not afraid to live my life out loud {with the hope of encouraging or inspiring others}... My WORD for 2015 is CELEBRATE! As many of you know my mother was a very big part of my life and my company... the last few years she was very ill and most days lived in fear of what could or would happen to her...most days she simply existed, and was scared to embrace life and enjoy the journey, even on her good days! During that time, we {mainly me} felt like we should not be celebrating the simple and big joys that came our way... our {my} focus was always on mom... Fast forward to our family trip over the Holidays to Florida... I did a lot of thinking, reminiscing and mourning since it was the first Holiday Season without mom. During that time - I realized, not only have I (we) not celebrated the typical things like Holidays etc.. but also the simple joys in life... It seems I was always so busy going from one thing to the next that I put off celebrating! I am so blessed and have so much to celebrate from a wonderful husband & family, a creative gift, an amazing company {that has far exceeded my expectations}, a comfortable lifestyle filled with simple joys & lots of wool, cotton & thread etc... I am going to CHOOSE to CELEBRATE! I am no longer waiting until I have the time, or until I loose the weight, or until the cats stop shedding {lol!}... There are NO do-overs in life... I am going to enjoy every moment!!! BE ready... It is going to be an AMAZING year! Are you choosing a ‘Word of the Year’ this year? I’d love to hear what it is if you feel like sharing it here!
