OLW - 2023!

Image
  I can't believe the new year is here, again. This means I am back, with my one-little-word I want to work on this year. And it will be work ! I put that graphic on my Instagram stories and nobody sent me a guess. I suppose it was too hard of a word to unscramble? I am kidding... So let's get to it. My word for the year is  PIVOT Pivot .  I fought this word for a bit. I did not want it. I did not like it. It feels scary. It feels like big changes and I do not care for big changes, mainly ones that are out of my control. It kept coming back to my mind though and I couldn't shake it loose. So this is the word it shall be for me to focus on in 2023. The definition of pivot online is "to turn or rotate." There are some things in my life I need to turn/rotate I suppose.  This is my brain dump so bear with me.  In years past, picking one word to work on for the year, I wanted it to cover all aspects of my life. Social media, family/friends, church, work..you get the id

   After spending a wonderful week in Salt Lake City, Utah, I started the drive back to Ridgecrest. To break up the drive and give my leg a break, I stopped at my friend's house in St George for the night. We had dinner and a fun time hanging out.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.  This is it folks. My word to focus on for the year.  Last year I did pretty well with my word and had many different categories for my word (which was Grow). This year...instead of having tons of categories, I'm going to focus on less areas that need to be worked on, thus, simplifying (see what I did there?) so I don't get burned out or feel overwhelmed. But who am I kidding? I already feel overwhelmed. This year of 2022 has not been kind (minus the fact I got to attend CES in PERSON! with good friends..that was awesome), the rest of the days this month so far have been less than pleasant. I hope to get out of this funk soon and on to bigger and better things.   So for my word Simplify , my goal is really just a desire to downsize and

  #GoShopPlayWin I am always so excited for something fun to do where I live that when the Monopoly game starts at Albertsons, I am all in for participating. Plus I love trying to win stuff anyways! We have an Albertsons less than a mile from our home, so we do get a portion of our groceries here throughout the year. I won't lie, I may try to go in extra times to get playing pieces during this promotion.

My One Little Word for 2021

 Every year that I've picked "one little word" to work on, it hasn't been little. It grows, gets complex and has lots of facets to it. But that's okay. I have 365 days to work on it, right? So with that being said, my word for 2021 is, I did not take choosing my word for the year lightly. I never do. I give it lots of thought and consideration. At first, the word that came to mind was "can". Like, "I can." But..."can" seems like an odd word just on its own. I hear it and think of canned veggies or fruit. So what can I do? What did I need to be able to do in this new year? I need to do some hard things. Mainly body related stuff and there is really only 1 hard thing that tops the list. So lets get into the categories of areas I can "Grow." Physically Spiritually Mentally Marriage First up - physically . I take this to mean body stuff - which I am never good with. I avoid body related things at all costs because it freaks me
