Word for 2012 – Confidence
It’s taken me a while to come up with my word for 2012, but I’ve decided on Confidence. I’ve got a big new challenge coming up in March–participating in the Craftboston Spring Show in Boston, MA– and I want to go into that confidently. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time so far this…
Looking Back on 2011
I’m later than I planned with this post–looking back at 2011–but better late than never, right? Last year my word for the year was “Explore,” and while picking a word may seem like a silly exercise, it acts as a motivator for me. I did end up exploring many new ideas! I think my biggest…
