Blogging has helped me find my voice. My word this year is Open. Like you, I am in my second half of life, and while it is an easier time (empty nest, etc.), it is hard to be open to new possibilities. We can get stuck in our old habits and routines. <br />Thanks for sharing and good luck with finding your true voice.

I like how powerful this exercise can be in terms of goal-setting and setting a theme for one's year.

I love my tattered copy, and she must have been a wonderful teacher. She seemed to know how to free students from what they "thought" they should write so they could write directly - and, voila, voice.) Enjoy your explorations!Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.com
