This can be a word/phrase that’s been impressive to you- or maybe it’s something that you feel is lacking in your life..
Last year my woty was REST. It was something I desperately needed! And it was fun to practice it!!
This year it is contentment.. I’ve really felt a lack of it lately. Without this I am grouchy. I see what other people have or do and I feel like my life is below the mark and there’s no way to be happy.. If only my yard was landscaped like so and so, I could drive in my driveway and feel accomplished..
If only my house was cleaner I could be more relaxed.
If only I could work as hard and be as efficient like “she”was than my life would feel complete.. but no. I’m still Erica. And I can try really hard to be like “her” but not without great tribulation..
The Lord has been speaking to me and inspiring me with how happy I can make my home/husband/child if I can be content with what I have and make the best out of it.
And it really does work! I can keep up the landscaping I do have.. I can make the most out of my little house by doing the laundry and keeping it tidy.! And even tho it doesn’t have the modern touch of coziness that “her” house does it still can be a happy home!
I can work to the best of my ability- limiting screen time and trying to be efficient and then feel good about it because I’ve tried my best!
I think God loves to abide in homes where there is contentment. For me- contentment brings peace. And peace is what this world desperately needs!
like the little child’s book that says “Whatever your home, it is happy indeed. If you love what you have , and you have what you need!
I challenge you! Choose yourself a WOTY and practice it! It’s fun! Bonus points if you tell me what it is!

Good writing!😊❤️
Love this! And your word! 👌🏼🤩 You know mine already, right? I’m fixing to blog about mine too!
I love it, Erica, that the idea behind your word contentment is being contented with yourself! Something for many of us to strive for!
Love this read,Erica♡!
Love it! I'm thinking HEARTH for my woty. Putting my family and home as top priority..
Love this!!! Still trying to decide my woty.
Thanks, Erica! Can definitely relate to your writing- this morning had a phrase going through my mind from the song Tranquility out of Gospel Hymns… and realized it went along with your writing… thought it said.. calm and content when day is spent but says when strength is spent… have a good day!

Love this. I totally feel like I could have written this post! I don't feel like I even know you that well, but I wonder if we aren't quite a bit alike in certain areas cause I often feel this way when I read your blog🤔😅
