Hi Dawn! Yes, it’s been awhile – glad to reconnect again! Occasionally I’ll look at old posts and comments and realize that it’s been a long while since I’ve run into some of the once-active blogging crowd and wonder how everyone is doing.

I can understand how Hope would be a word you wouldn’t want to move from, Horace. I hope you’ll stick with it if you feel led to. One year is an arbitrary measure of time anyway. ha. Some words travel with us for a lifetime. Hope you’re doing well!

I’ll so look forward to reading your summary post on courage, Jean! I’ve thoroughly loved all the things you’ve shared this year on it. You’ve made the word a little less scary for me but I’m still too timid to choose it for myself. ha. I’ve just lived through your experiences with it. 🙂 I can’t wait to hear what you settle on for 2026!

Thanks, Lisa! I look forward to sharing with you all.

Glad you’ll be joining us for 2026, Melanie! You’re in the group now, so there’s nothing else you need to do. We share monthly here at the linkup and anytime during the month in our Facebook group.

Thanks, Lisa. 2025 has been a fruitful year for both of us with our words. And yes, I’m also looking forward to what will come next, too!
