This will be my 10th time choosing a word-of-the-year – check out this guidebook if you need help with yours! A word-of-the-year is a word that represents what you want to think/be/do/manifest in your life. It’s a theme, a direction, a guide, and a reminder I can’t believe that it’s…
Every December, I choose a word for the coming year. The word is a theme, a mantra, a focal point for what I want to bring into my life. If you’ve followed my Self-Care Planner then you know I always include a spot for it! This will be my 9th…
I can’t believe that this will be my 8th year in a row choosing a word-of-the-year. It’s so cool to be able to look back at each year and see where my mind was at and how that word led me to my next one. Gods, I love being a…
Instead of New Year’s Resolutions, I choose a word of the year. It’s a theme or feeling that I want to nourish in my life. This year, I chose the word Surrender. Which was also my word six years ago. Then, I was just starting my self-love journey and I…
I’ve been picking a Word of the Year since 2012 and if you’ve got the Self-Love Planner then you’ve probably already chosen a word. I’ve always been big on new beginnings and I anxiously wait for the New Year because it’s fresh and shiny with no mistakes in it yet. Every year since I…

Wild. Untamed. I love those words. But they scare me. I love being in control. It’s essential to my survival. It’s something that I cling to like a lifeline. I don’t just want it. I need it. It’s like I need to be able to breathe. Depression makes it hard…
As you know, for 2016 my word-of-the-year is Mend. 2015 was a rough year for me and I find myself needing the three “R”s – Rest, Relaxation, and Recuperation, on an emotional level but also on a physical one. Stress and anxiety can take a lot out of a person emotionally but it…
When I first discovered Leonie Dawson’s Life Planner I became enchanted with the idea of picking a Word-of-the-Year. A word to represent what I want to do/feel/be for the year. It feels like a way to keep myself on course. A bit of a guiding star. The title to a…
My word of the year is depth and I’ve been exploring what that means for me and my life. Exploration is fun, I suggest you try it sometime, even though it’s terrifying. As someone who dislikes change and tends to get very comfy with the status quo, going deeper in…
I first learned from Create Your Shining Year Planner how to choose a word-of-the-year instead (or into addition to!) a New Year’s resolution. I don’t know about you but I kinda forget my resolutions after awhile, no matter how well meaning I am. Picking a word is less stringent and it…
The New Year is upon us and I find my mind filling with plans and dreams. I know that January 1st, 2014 is just another day. It means nothing but changing a calendar and the last number when you’re writing down the date. But to me, I see possibilities that…
