Life is good…

For years my most consistent blog topic has been my weekly “Hello Monday” entries. It gave me a chance to change how I looked at the day and week ahead – not with dread but with hope. Over time Monday became my favourite day of the week.

TRUSTING the interesting meals that we’re able t

TRUSTING the interesting meals that we’re able to cobble together from the findings in the big stand-up freezer (well stocked for the pandemic) will sustain us for the next couple of weeks so that it is completely empty for the first move. Good thing we like appetizers! #nowasteproject

GRATEFUL to have faced my discomfort and completed my very first ever iMovie to represent my 2021 vision board, complete with score (“In My Blood" - Bridgerton version, so good!). Not only did it have me find 90+ images to embody my hopes and dreams for the year ahead and beyond; but, the process pushed me outside of my comfort zone which is the tone I want to set for the year ahead. #theothersideoffear

INSPIRED to think, maybe just a little bit, about traveling post-COVID. My first big adventure will be to @newfoundlandandlabrador for sure (hello @fogoislandinn) - away but not too far away. Then maybe Greece and Croatia in 2023? And then maybe our planned honeymoon (without my honey) to Scotland, Ireland, Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland? @travelbydesign will be busy! #pandemicdreams

FUN is spending time in a strict lockdown in the best way I can: watching a diverse collection of shows. We are now onto Yellowstone which is shockingly violent but I’m loving the vast collection of irredeemable, truly awful characters. (It’s early days, I’m sure they will be less reprehensible as the season goes on.) Once I’ve inhaled every episode, I hope to pick up my Kindle which is home to a few dozen highly acclaimed books I want to read. #distractionforthewin

FOUR weeks away! Mark your calendar! Normally this begins in April but there was a pandemic-inspired need for an earlier start date. Now to figure a portable can’t-get-lost-in-the-move project! What can I do for 100 days to move my creative life forward? What will you do? #the100dayproject

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you a healthy, happy, and p

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2021 without the stress and anxiety central to the memories of this past year. Stay safe, stay happy, and (as I tell my children) make good choices! xoL

TRUSTING that I’ve planned the upcoming move well enough that the bumps will be small, not catastrophic, and easily mitigated. We have dates, we have boxes, we have plans now to pack with as much care and attention to detail as needed to make the unpacking a breeze. Or at least efficient.

GRATEFUL to have received my new Fitbit in time to start the 2021 off the couch and with some motivation. I miss the accountability of a tracker. It keeps the idea of movement in my head rather than some abstract “I can do that later” annoyance.

INSPIRED to start on my One Little Word® project for 2021 as guided by @aliedwards and her creative crew. I’ve done this project (to varying degrees of success) since 2009 and greatly enjoy it through the year. It works for me so much better than resolutions. For 2021 I’ve chosen BRAVE as my guiding word and I think I’m going to need it!

FUN is found in rediscovering enjoyment of watching dramatic entertainment. After months on the couch with Bill binge-watching countless shows (Billions, Californication, Bosch, Ozark and endless CNN), I’ve found a few of my own. I finished all of the Hallmark Christmas movies, then Bridgerton and now I’m on to A Discovery of Witches and Yellowstone. #hewouldhaveenjoyedthemall

31

I have chosen a word every year since 2009:

2009 BALANCE
2010 FOCUS
2011 DO
2012 OPEN
2013 NOURISH
2014 GRACE
2015 FLOW
2016 LIGHT
2017 PLAY
2018 BE
2019 SLOW
2020 HARMONY

What do I need to guide me through 2021?

2021 BRAVE

Brave to me is more than courage - it is the action of being actively courageous. It’s more than showing up - it’s showing up and doing something about it.

I have big plans for life beyond 2021 and I will have to be BRAVE to lay the groundwork in order to have it all materialize in some form or another. I’m not as focused on the form as I am on the actual manifestation of those ideas: Bill’s bench; the big move and renovation; being present and visible (as opposed to hiding) in my new home town; making consistent healthy choices; write the novel and enjoy the process of submitting all of my writing; and, evaluate the viability of building a retreat centre and retail space.

I will again be supported through the year with @aliedwards guided One Little Word® year-long workshop.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be.

Every day brings something different. It’s important for me to remember to not define the total of my life by the day or the circumstance. “This too shall pass” works for both positive and challenging situations. Change is the only guarantee in life.

I am doing my best to stay open to all of the experiences life throws at me.
I am doing my best to honour and remember the stories, all of the stories.
I am doing my best to show up as the best possible version of myself.
I am doing my best to meet the universe halfway.
I am doing my best.

I am grateful for all of it.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be.

28

My intention for 2021 is to pay more attention to my physical health. Not just pay attention but make intentional changes to those things I don’t like and can improve/repair.

The weight is the weight. I’ve enjoyed many the benefits of being thin. I’ve enjoyed the many benefits of being heavy. Thin or heavy I can be smart, funny, sexy, confident, loveable, grateful and happy.

This is about more: I want to be stronger and more flexible. I have set myself up for success by purchasing a @Merrithew reformer Pilates machine which arrives in the new year. The “gym” space in the new house has very high ceilings so plan to use my @crossropejumpropes with my @bellicon trampoline. I have various bands, balls and my Bosu torture device. And, my secret weapon is always the brilliant @livelovelifeyoga Jackie Giella from @amaroowellness on SPEED DIAL for training via Zoom!

My boys will be happy with a daily walk to and from the mailbox now located close to a kilometre away from the new house. I’ve prepared for that too with new boots, snow pants, parka, gloves and scarf. And, a knapsack for the mail so I always have control over the beasties - goodness knows there’ll be more squirrels and other critters for them to investigate!

I’ll continue to eat well, drink well and get plenty of sleep.
