My 2020 Word of the Year
Have you ever heard of “Word of the Year?” It’s a unique practice designed to replace new year’s resolutions with one simple word to focus on for the year. I’ve chosen a word of the year since 2014, and it’s always neat to see how my word shows up in my life each year. In this blog post, I’m sharing the word I chose for 2020, and what I learned from it!
At the end of 2019, I was excited (as usual!) to find a new word for the year. I starting hearing the word “Abundant,” and that sounded pretty good. 😍 Little did I know what this year would have in store. 😳
As the year began I was busy balancing work and mom-life.
I enjoyed the quiet that came with having TWO kids in school!
And then… COVID-19 hit. 😳
I collaborated with local businesses.
We settled in to quiet as the social-distancing began.
A few months in, anxiety hit — and I needed family. The kids were THRILLED to see their cousins again!
We enjoyed an abundance of evenings enjoying the beach together (Tasha is with us… she was digging in the sand! 🤣)
I decided to switch from my bullet journal to the Happy Planner!
I made a pair of sweatpants!
…and custom shirts, too!
The kids did the Beatles walk. 😂
And we had a quiet, abundant Thanksgiving & Christmas.
Yes… despite everything 2020 threw at us… there was still abundance here. 🌿
