This year, I heard about the One Word 365 idea, and fell in love.
Let's cut straight to the
"Woman, you live in a foreign country, you are brave!" you might be thinking. True dat.
But, other than that fact, I am NOT brave. I am one big old scaredy cat. And my goal is to change that this year.
And let me show you how...
1. I will be BRAVE enough to try new foods. Like veggies. I am that mom who never served veggies with dinner. This year, I will.
2. I will be brave enough to speak my mind. Clearly. I can mumble a bit. One of my poor husband's pet peeves about me. This year, I'll speak clearly.
3. I will be BRAVE enough to make blogging productive. I want to develop my blogging "hobby" into something that can be beneficial and helpful for readers. This year, I'll help you.
4. I will be BRAVE enough to have a purpose driven life. I've always heard about that, and thought I was living it. But who knows if I am? This year, I'm reading the book and living it.
5. I will be BRAVE enough to meet new people. Having recently moved to Scotland, I need to get out and meet new people...which scares the living daylights out of me. This year, I am going to be confident and not scared.
6. I will be BRAVE enough to truly run a 5K {or more!}. Last year I started the habit, and participated in an event. This year, I am going to run the entire 5K.
7. I will be BRAVE enough to take the next step with my book. In November, I wrote a novel. But it has been sitting on my hard drive collecting dust. This year, I am going to do something with it.
8. I will be BRAVE enough to find a babysitter and go on dates with my husband. Last year, having a newborn baby, and being in a foreign-speaking country supposedly prevented me from doing this {bad excuses}. This year, it's gonna happen.
9. I will be BRAVE enough to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Something has been holding me back all these years. This year, I am going to team up with friends, take the bull by the horns, and stop messing around. Game on!
10. I will be BRAVE enough to discover. To take time to learn about Scotland, England and Ireland and their respective histories. And then... This year, we will take trips to see the historical places in person.
Expect me to check in from time to time on this list. And demonstrate how I am being BRAVE.
Oh, and its been awhile, but wanted to make sure I mentioned that I am linking up with a few different blogs:
