I had some goals for the year. Some I completed and some I didn't...

Here are some accomplishments/events that happened this year:

Personal:
Hiked in New Hampshire to see waterfalls
Hiked in Acadia National Park (again)
Spent a week vacation in Florida going to Universal, Disney, seeing family, and eating so much great food!
Rediscovered my love for puzzles 
Discovered watercolor painting
Went to one bookish event: Debbi Michiko Florence
Held monthly tea parties (for the first six months of the year)
Attended a family wedding
Attended a family reunion in Nantucket
My Etsy store did well enough for another year. 

Sadly: Saying goodbye to my pup.

Professional:
Still reviewing books for SLJ and Fresh Fiction
Attended training for my library to become a Family Place Library
Cybils Awards Round 1 Judge for Graphic Novels
Hosted so many videos on social media
Started a TikTok account - BookTok for the library

Reading/Writing/Blogging:

2021 Vision

 This year, I have two. Because...why not?


Why limit the year to just one thing?

Do any of you pick one focus word?

I've done this in the past, but never seem to remember my thoughts during the year.

If you pick a focus word, how do you make it work?
