My focus word for the year is SHINE. I like to pause and reflect on my word, how it has shown itself to me, and what I’ve done to cultivate the idea within my life. Before I had even announced my word for this year, it was already advising me, back in 2018. On my Life’s Little Instruction calendar on December 29, 2018, the following advice appeared:

I created a Pinterest board to focus on my SHINE this year. There are so many different ways to interpret the idea of SHINE, and each pin takes a different perspective.

While I was enjoying a relaxing vacation at the beginning of January, SHINE was evidence as I watched the sun reflected on the water of both the pool and the Sea of Cortez. Sitting on my balcony I felt that I could look at that shining water forever! This view always brings me peace of mind, body, and soul.

I look forward to seeing how SHINE shows up for me in the coming weeks.
