Happy New Year to al!!l:) A New Year is an exciting event, a blank canvas awaiting the opportunity of new possibilities with a chance to re-write the script.  The last couple of days I’ve been reflecting on the year passed and mulling with fresh resolve for the New Year unfolding.  As in years past I’ve spent time considering my ‘word‘ for 2013, then I read Jennifer’s post on NY Resolutions for the Overwhelmed and I realised my script wasn’t that dissimilar to hers, the same issues here seem to re-occur year after year, with some year’s progress is more noticeable than others.  Like Jennifer, if we could just get a regular,…

For the last couple of years I have selected a Word for each year.  This Word represents my focus, direction, desire or motivation for where I feel led in the upcoming year. 2011 will herald an ‘end of an era’ for us.  Our first born, Koala will conclude her formal education at home in December 2011.  So this will be our final year of having all our children learning together, our family dynamics will change forever more.  So my word for 2011 is; Savour which is really interchangeable with Treasure. Interesting to note my previous Words were; Self-Discipline for 2010, and 2009 I chose two, Memories and Habits.
