Posted in Word of the Year
Posted 5 years ago
When I worked at a summer camp, we would be sorted into one word teams and that one word would be our team focus and guide for the summer. One year it was Joy and the next year it was Grace.
I loved the idea and adopted it for New Year a long while ago. Then I started seeing lots and lots of other people doing it too. I’m sure the camp I worked at adopted the idea from other people.
Anyway, over the years, I’ve chosen a word/phrase and let it be my focus for the year.
A few that I’ve utilized are Joy (multiple years), Play the Game, Drink the Koolaid, Fearless, etc.
I try to let the word or phrase find me. Maybe I hear it a lot in different contexts. Maybe it just floats through the air to me or maybe sometimes it just smacks me in the face and feels right.
This year, it just came to me when I woke up. I wasn’t thinking about a word, I wasn’t actively searching for the right one, I just woke up to it.
My word this year is....
Consistent
A nice, boring word. But I need it. I need consistency in my life. I need to BE consistent.
Do you choose a word or phrase for the year?
If you do, what did you choose for 2020?

FUN FACT- Bath and Body Works and VS are owned by the same company. If you watch their sales, you’ll notice their semi-annual sales are released at the same time. If bath and body works has a huge sale, chances are VS will too.
Ahem, anyway- my big gift this year was a kitchen aid stand mixer in yellow. She’s so pretty 😭😭😭

Whatcha cooking?
I cook dinner pretty often, but I order those meal kits that send me everything I need. It takes the “have to see humans at a grocery store” down to a bare minimum. XD

@shadami: It's called Damsel by Elana K. Arnold.
Like I get the feminist message she's got going, but if a teenager is picking up this book, it's totally going over their heads.
So, it's got scenes about graphic sexual assault, rape, self-harm, suicide, physical and mental abuse, and animal harm. According to another review, his male anatomy was mentioned no fewer than 19 times (although the different ways they describe it is pretty funny) and her breasts, 25. All of that in a little more than 300 pages.
There were a few times that it was so graphic that I went back and checked my library app to make sure it was YA and sure enough it was. Not that I have a problem with adult themes... as long as they are in adult books. Had this been marked for adults, I wouldn't have felt so disgusted by it.

Ugh.
I just finished a book that was marketed as YA and wowsers...
No Trigger Warnings- very adult themes.
Just disgust all around.
I may have had a slightly different perspective had it been marked for those adult themes, but the fact that this is YA makes me sick.

I usually just ignore the request until it goes away or sits in limbo forever. I’ve got a good 20 people in limbo 🤣
I’m glad you found a solution!
