Change is a four-letter word in some people’s vocabulary. But not mine. You know this because 2018 was a year of transformation for me. After I suffered unexpected and unwanted changes in 2017, I decided to submit. Become the caterpillar, I thought, and let the Creator make me into a glorious butterfly. Or not so …
It seems like only a month or two ago and I was working out the word of the year for 2018. Now it’s time to introduce the word for 2019. Where has the time gone? And so much has happened for me this year. It’s crazy! And unbelievable. But choosing Metamorphosis for my theme word …
One quarter of 2018 is past. It’s supposed to be a year of metamorphosis around here, but what has really changed? If nothing else, I’ve learned a few things about the process of making changes. In January, I posted my word for the year. I made a lovely graphic. And then a few weeks later, …

It’s week three of the Year of Metamorphosis and I’m not seeing a butterfly moment yet. In fact, my caterpillar’s looking a little lost. Where’s my change? What does it even MEAN to change? The dictionary says change means to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is …
Let’s face it, we all like our routine. Even those people who share they decide at the “spur of the moment” brush their teeth in the same pattern every day. We are creatures of habit, and in order to embrace metamorphosis, our routine needs to be upended, thrown in the dryer, sent on three rounds …
It’s January. Again. Another new year. And around here that means a new theme or focus word. This year’s word blindsided me shortly after we returned from our Branson vacation. I kept seeing a form of this word and as I was working through the ramblings from National Novel Writing Month that became some of …
