In line with previous years, I will continue my tradition for the new year of 2020 - a Word of the Year.

And, this year, it will be:

SOLID

I spent some time on the 1st of January painting this, and now it stands behind my work station.

Three of the main themes within this are:

1) Solidify

From abstract to concrete; from ideas to plans, and then to action.

2) Consolidate

Having avalanches of thoughts and collecting disparate bits of information results in innumerable potential ideas.

The main problem here is that most of them sound like good paths to follow.

I will spend this year consolidating what I can and determining which path(s) to do so. And I will certainly not do so alone. I will seek God for His direction, and also take in the wisdom of people around me.

3) Stand Solid

In 2019, I had a bit of a breakthrough. Though I have always been firm on my beliefs and the actions that result from them, I learned that I was still limiting myself in numerous ways, both mentally and emotionally.

This coming year, I will pursue what I should. And I will stand stronger upon what I believe I am worth and what I am due.

So there it is, my Word of the Year, and my commitment to keeping it.

I wish you the same commitment and follow-through. Happy 2020!
