Plan with me in 2021!

2020 has been such a slam! To be honest, it’s been challenging with all that has and is going on, and entering the new year comes with a measure of trepidation. I remember one dear and influential man in my life saying, ‘One thing everyone needs is to look forward to something.’ In considering what would help in 2021, I decided to look forward to making monthly journal entries in my yearly planner journal that incorporated my strange word of the year that can relate to your word, and to make planner pages that spark hopeful days ahead. To read about how your word relates to my word of the year visit this post: https://www.valeriesjodin.com/blog/my-strange-word-2021-relates-to-you

NOTE: There are many journals to choose from.
