OLW? Have you? I am! I'm trying to get myself back on track and I decided to give OLW a go!

I had originally planned to make FRIENDSHIP my One Little Word for 2020 because I feel strongly that in 2019 my friendships have taken a hit while I struggled with some head-space stuff. But thinking hard on this recently, I decided that CONNECTIONS is a much more meaningful and relevant OLW for the things I want to focus on rebuilding this year.
Connections = friendship, family and (TLP) community and thats where its all at.

I would love to hear yours if you have picked one .....

PS: I used Tangie Baxter's Life of Purpose for my OLW card
 
My word for 2020 is "KNOW".
I feel I need to know my Lord Jesus more. I need to read the Word and get to know Him better and rely on Him more.
My calendar pages I created for NBK Designs challenge all feature scripture with the word KNOW and I am using them each month as a Desktop Background.
This is my January one:
 
Mine is going to be “change”. It’snot all going to be by choice, so I’m going to learn to embrace it.

I’m inserting some small changes into my life by choice and others may be inserting life changing changes not by choice. Not all change is bad. Not all change is life changing. But some can be devastating. I hate change. I need to embrace it head on. Maybe my word should be “embrace” instead. Lol.
 
Happy New Year everyone! My word is "Enough". I am working on actually having a boundary or two in my life, and so I need to figure out what enough of any one thing looks like, so I can be happy in the enough-ness of it and move to the next thing on my list without guilt. Also, it is a reminder that I am Enough, just like I am. :)

Click to expand...

That is the word I've been considering. I am so over-committed that I need to draw some boundaries.
 
I've never done the OLW but suddenly last week I decided on one for this year... LEARN. ie I need to learn how to digiscrap (MOC for that!) and Learn to let go ... my son is off to varsity away from home. Plus I need to Learn to trust God more this year.
 
I went with Foundation.
Not for it's primary meaning of being the lowest load bearing part of a building, but rather it's secondary meaning of an underlying basis or principle.

In many ways I feel like the stage has been set and I am keen to see where to from here.

As an empty nester this is the beginning of the next season of life, just hubster and me and spiritually I am feeling like I am ready to build up and see who I am supposed to be, when I am no longer a SAHM.
But just me, wife, scrapbooker, photographer and friend.
 
It’s written as one word in Dutch, and basically it’s one word in English too..
Anyway, I’m going with self care. That’s what I want to focus on this year.

I’ve noticed I’m not always listening too myself, or not even hearing myself sometimes. So this year I’m going to do what I feel I want and what I need. Mentally, physically, emotionally, all the things.
 
I don't usually do OLW but as I was reading a book this morning a word came to me and it stuck with me and I think it's going to be my word/goal for the year.

Kind

I tend to be a take control, get things done kind of gal which isn't necessarily a bad thing but sometimes I can run people over just to get things done...especially with my children or hubby. If I get all these things done, serve others, or do amazing things but don't do it with kindness it's pretty worthless. Know what I mean?

So, I'm actually going to add that word to my goal list for 2020.
