My word for 2026 is Shine.
2025 was about adapting to my life as a breast cancer patient and empty nester, as well as the loss of my dad. It was not an easy year, but I've come through it stronger. I am doing so much better now than I was this time last year and I'm proud of that. I don't know what challenges await me in 2026, but I will continue to adapt as necessary. And, as much as possible, I want to Shine.
When I was making my tag and how to represent the word Shine, the obvious choice was a sun. I had a chipboard sun that was the perfect size. I painted it with one of my favorite shades by Plaid, Mango Mambo (affiliate link). I didn't want to use blue for the tag since I did that last year, so I went with a beautiful leaf green, then sponge painted a true green on top of that.
As always, this year's One Little Word doesn't replace previous years' words. I continue to live with Balance, Celebrate, Try, Enjoy, Relax, Share, Connect, Believe, Reach, Focus, Strengthen, Thrive, Play, Learn, and Adapt. The fifteen tags have been hanging like this in my craft room for the past year, but I'm going to have to do something different to make space for Shine. Stay tuned.
