Amen! I know a good old fashion reset keeps me aligned with God and not going too far off track!

Many sentences stand out to me, including this one: “A word of the year contains the seed of new life – a refreshing sustenance for our spirit.” It’s been amazing how much fruit can be born from these seeds we plant. So thankful for you!

My WOTY is Intention and the spiritual practice I need to intentionally re-establish are my prayer days.

Mindful is a great word, Martha! I don’t know why I quit getting your blog in my inbox but just went there and resigned up. Looking forward to reading your words regularly once again. Thanks!

I know I needed a reminder too. I have learned so much by paying attention to my word(s) over the years – what a good practice. Peace!!

I feel I still have much to learn and experience!

I’m now asking myself, how have a been “mindful”? What other things can I practice that make me more “mindful” of the world around me?
Great advice, and I do hope to see you around my blog soon.
Blessings!
