I’ve been doing #OneLittleWord for a few years now. I think since 2015. I legit don’t know what to make 2022’s word cause I feel like I’ve done all the ones I really wanted to do lol.
The word for 2021 was Courage.
I love how every year I say “it’s my year“.
This year wasn’t so bad as far as accomplishments go, and honestly I think I did super well with keeping my #OneLittleWord in mind. Wish I could change those blog links though lol.
I had hoped that 2021 would be vastly different from 2020, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who felt this way either. I just wanted to pack my 2021 with as much adventure and healing as I could… and though I’m still on this journey, I’m so thankful for the steps I did take to get here this year!
I got to travel to Florida (home) twice this year. I am so so thankful for that! Got to see my BFF after not seeing her for 15 years and we took our first Disney trip together; one of the best memories we have together and we’re counting down until our next Disney trip! I got to hang out with a friend here in Texas and I’ve been enjoying our trips to Target! I also got to meet up with a Florida friend I haven’t seen in years and I had SO MUCH FUN with her at Universal! Speaking of my BFF, she took took a leap and changed careers. I’m so so proud of her!
I started my own business, something that happened as a whim of an idea and turned into something so much more. I’ve had so much fun exploring this other side of creativity and self expression. I’ve reached out to vendors and learned how to outsource my products as well as make them in house as well.
Started my journey to financial freedom, which I know is going to be a struggle no matter how “set” it may look. Now it’s on to mindfully buying things and not splurging on shit I don’t need. I’m thankful for the guidance I got for this journey. So thankful. You will never know how thankful.
I’ve been spending more time with my friends, either on the phone or threatening them to meet me in Florida. And it’s reminding me of who I am, where I came from and what I’m capable of. I’m extremely thankful for all the time I get to spend with my really close friend and someone I’ve considered an older brother my whole life.
Reliving our memories from 14 to now at 36 has been wild. It’s crazy to realize how much time has passed and how different we are now. But it’s been fun going back there. I was SUCH a weird kid, seriously. I have some of the best memories with him through out our teen-hood. We made so many promises that would encourage us to be better people even as kids. And it’s wild to see we still do that to each other now as adults. He’s only ever wanted what was best for me, always. I’m glad we’ve been able to stay friends for this long.
I started taking steps to enroll back into school to finish my BA (a little under 2 years left) and changed my major to fit my new goals. I’m really excited about this change and finally finishing my degree.
I’m happy with the things I did manage to do with courage this year. I can’t wait to see what 2022 brings!
