One Little Word for 2019

It's been a while since I blogged last.....things have been very busy. Between teaching, being a mom, my husband's health issues and running my Etsy shop, Kaminski's Creations, I never seem to find the time.

So with the start of a new year, I'll start off with my word of the year......purpose.

If you haven't heard of the movement called One Little Word, let me introduce you.

It started with Ali Edwards. Basically, it's a year long project where you pick one word you'd like to focus on for the year. Through her workshop, you are given prompts to explore your word. I did it previously here.

This year I chose the word purpose, because I feel like sometimes, I'm living my life on auto-pilot just to get through the days and am not really achieving much of a purpose (or not fulfilling mine).
