Welcome to Litsy!

#WordOfTheYear
@IndoorDame

So I posted the word PURPOSE as my #wordoftheyear, and today this quote showed up in my daily Mutts comics email. I think the universe might be trying to tell me something. I've now combined the two and will strive to make happiness my purpose--even in the simplest daily activities. 🖤💙🖤

My #wordoftheyear is Healing. Healing physically, & healing by giving open attention to my relationships.
This mug is a physical reminder for me:
“may the sun
bring you new energy by day,
may the moon softly restore you by night,
may the rain
wash away your worries,
may the breeze
blow new strength into your being,
may you walk
gently through the world and know
its beauty all the days of your life.
———apache blessing

#WordOfTheYear
@IndoorDame

Thanks for such an incredible idea, Adina! 😘 My #WordOfTheYear is going to be PURPOSE. Now that I have time, what do I want to do with it? How can I better serve others? And before I can even do that, I need to get myself in order. I will use this word to (hopefully) continually guide me every day before I even get out of bed.

Anyone else have a word to share? Be sure to tag @IndoorDame, too! 😍

I loved seeing everyone‘s personal and reading goals yesterday for #TLT! I haven‘t set those sorts of concrete goals for the new year, but I have chosen my word of the year: Align. So I‘ll be trying to focus on whether my actions are bringing me further into alignment with my core self and values or further away from that. Does anyone else pick a #WordOfTheYear?

Despite an epic hangover, I managed to follow through on my resolution to start writing more. I set-up a whole blog and everything! I named it “Impossible Honey” after a line from Chen Chen‘s poem, “Spell to Find Family.”

Let me know if you read my first post, about my Word of the Year for 2023.

(I promise to be more focused on #AuldLangSpine now that this is accomplished!)

My #WordOfTheYear for 2023 is “touchdown.” It was inspired by an episode of Katherine May‘s “Wintering” podcast (retitled “How We Live Now”), in which she interviews writer Tanya Shadrick. As a non sports fan, it‘s a curious choice for me…but multiple meanings abound.

I may be starting an online blog in the New Year (as early as tomorrow!). The outline for my first journal entry, which exists in my brain & nowhere else, is about exactly this.

✨MAGIC✨ is my word of the year for 2023.

“Regeneration. Hope. Gratitude” were my words for 2020, 2021, and 2022. These words sustained me, and were essential to my survival & healing. But now, it is time to LIVE and remember the MAGIC in living. So this year, I will make Magic a priority. Making magic, living magically, and seeking out the magic in every day living.

Every year, I choose one little word as my theme for the year. Rather than focusing on individual resolutions, I just pick a theme for how I would like my life to grow over the coming year. It works for me. Maybe it will work for you. If it doesn‘t, that‘s okay, too. My word for 2019 is

Connect.

For a multitude of reasons, but mostly because we are all in this together. #onelittleword #wordoftheyear
