I think I’m doing rather well with “cherish” so far. I’ve been reading The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have each evening and then writing down 5 things I’m grateful for in a journal. I’ve even had a few days when I tossed my to-do list and just read a book and took a nap. (This is so uncharacteristic of me that I suspect that either 1) it has something to do with Mercury being in retrograde, which I know nothing about, or 2) this “cherish” thing is working!
I had Rachelle Mee-Chapman (aka Magpie Girl) write a customized blessing for my word. She said she capitalized Memory, Worth, and Care because she saw them as personifications – kind figures waiting to walk with me – so they deserve a first name. I love that! Her words resonate so fully for me.
Beautiful, right? Sigh. So worth it.
I’m coming up with a list of some creative self-care ideas. If you have any suggestions, I’m open!
If you’re interested, you can read previous One Little Word posts here. On Monday, we’ll be joining in another Photo-Heart Connection and on Wednesday, we’ll be talking about our next Soulful Home prompt – favorite things! Have a wonderful weekend, friends! Thanks, as always, for being here.
Love the self care post card ideas. That’s wonderful that you are reading the book and writing in your gratitude journal. I’m proud of you for tossing the to do list! Might have to try that.
I love your self-care ideas!

What a lovely wish for the new year! Crocuses are up, they survived the snow, and as I rode in to work, I heard red wing blackbirds claiming territories in the cattails. Spring is here. 🙂
That’s refreshing! Just yesterday, I was thinking it is warm enough to think about planting for the spring, and suddenly overnight a cold spell came in and changed my mind. 🙂
