Word of the Year 2021

Keep moving forward. Those were the words I chose for 2021 and they have served me well as a mantra and a guiding light. 

My 2021 Word in Retrospect (thank you, Maritza Parra, for that idea) is compiled. Or consolidated. I have been moving things around in my life the whole year, from my downstairs bedroom/office off the kitchen at Sumner to the upstairs green room, then off to Grace Meadows (my mom's home) where I finally got a special space as an office of my own (half the old preschool then COVID school room). 

Journal style of the year - I won a scholarship to Heartwork Journaling University (the second one ever offered I believe) and this has been amazing even though the year has just begun. I am also quite fond of the Hero's Journal and just got LOI 3.0 for Christmas. I have moved on a bit from paper collage / scrapbooking, although I still saved wrapping paper clippings from today's Christmas extravaganza.

Descriptions to add to my bio - cat mom (COVID kittens, two batches! RIP Bob 😭), engineering student, HJU doodler, middle school basketball coach (who would've thought!?)

Candidates for Word of the Year 2022? Graduate. I can't really think of anything else since this is consuming most of my mental space. Engineering and Physics all year long (3 quarters). I haven't written much about going back to school on here, but it's been life-changing. Build. Don't Give Up. Speak Up.

WOTY 2022 results still pending.
