What Do You Want to Make Today?
I have designated one little word to be the touchstone for each year for I think 11 years now. They usually come to me pretty easily but I don’t do the best at holding onto them through the year. I thought this year’s one little word was going to be build, but the more I […]
I just looked it up and I’ve been doing One Little Word (with more or less success/focus) since 2013! That’s 10 years of words to guide me and help shape my year. I’m a fan of just letting my word come to me and not giving it too much thought, and this year’s word came […]
