Looking back the 2017 I feel as if for a time I completely lost track of my word. There was no time for renewal. But then I look at the last 4 months or so and I seen to have gotten back on track.
Returning to the workforce in a full-time capacity was a big step forward in this. It was super scary and many a tear was shed until I realized…this was a new beginning or time of renewal for me. I had a renewed vigor for helping others. A renewed energy I had lost. I was able to renew my sense of purpose outside the home.
Don’t get me wrong…I wouldn’t trade those years at home as a wife, homemaker and mom for the world. But having something that is mine is amazing. I hadn’t thought of it before in that way.
Stay tuned for my 2018 word of the year tomorrow!
I’d say you not only renewed yourself, you reinvented yourself. Since this is the last day of 2017, I want to personally wish you a safe and joyous New Year and an art filled 2018.
Congratulations on this renewal, this having of something just for you :) May your new year be filled with joy
Happy new year Halle. I like your take on the word renewal. I don’t know if I can change to feel that way about work, but you have me wanting to try. Hope it is a wonderful 2018.
