2018 will soon be closing the door and as every one, time is to look back at what has been accomplished, people met, places visited and so on… One topic which I can’t put aside is my word chosen for 2018:
“Creativity”
Being realistic, am glad to say that upon reviewing my word’s target, I did pretty well. I have been playing with several medias: gouache, watercolor, ink, collages, stamping, colored pencils and others. Many swaps set up by art groups I belong to have helped me to improve and find new ideas, thanks to all these talented persons who have been an inspiration for me. The five blog posts which have been published are the witnesses of what has been done, “Silent Artwork”. A sixth one will be on-line soon.
Photography has been also a good way to get into “Creativity”, my film cameras have helped me a lot in that field, my Holga too.
Summing up, I definitely hit my goal “Word for 2018”, that’s the main point isn’t?
Now, it’s about time to reveal my Word for 2019… My decision is to take it easy this year in selecting:
“Travels”
Already several trips are piling in my head… Absolutely determined that against all odds, I will reach that goal. You will learn more about “Travels” either through my blog posts or my photography page.
And you have you made up your mind about your Word for 2019? I would love to learn about it.
Drops of Everything 
You’ve certainly done ‘your word’ – Creativity – proud. I’ve loved watching you develop and grow your artful talents beyond your outstanding photography. I look forward to being part of your ‘travel’ plans for 2019. May your dreams lead you to inspiring places.
I tried to do my best when it was still the time. Now, new focus specially the September one, I bet you know what I mean 😉
Lovely post and your creativity shows. I so appreciate you pushing yourself.
No word yet for me but i do look forward to your travels. Love the ariel view of the beach/waves, well done.
Happy 2019
All my sincere best wishes Christine! So thankful for our friendship and thank you for your visit.
I feel like I need two words for 2019–one for my internal life and one for the external. I’m still mulling over words. You fully captured “creativity” this year. I’m looking forward to your travel logs!
Take one step at a time, Chandra… I bet you will find either one or may be two of the words you are looking for. Will be thinking of you and yours during this “Holidays”. Big hugs, my friend!
I’ll let you know!
It sounds like it was a great year for you Louise and that your creative goal was met. I have enjoyed seeing your explorations and look for ward to next year’s travels. I think my word for 2019 will be ‘health’, both physical and mental. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas season and a great 2019.
At the end of each year, am always thankful for what I was able to do… I always try to be modest and in my way, with my own means, I think I did what I could to hit the “creativity” goal. That’s a good point. I wish you all the “very best” to accomplish your 2019 projects and also to keep in the spirit of your Word “Health”. Merry Christmas, Val. May 2019 bring you the best ever.
Beautiful post as always. Blessed travels!
You are so kind, my dear!
You have had a wonderful year Louise! And I look forward to tagging along with you next year. The world is gorgeous through your eyes 🙂 Blessings at Christmas, and throughout the New Year! Enjoy 🙂
On the whole I can’t complain, Sheila. Oh, thank you for your words about “my” vision of the World, I just look and see, that’s it, everybody can do that. Blessings to you too, my friend.
Mine will be “health” for all of us and the planet.
So true! Wishing you all the best so that both goals are accomplished.
Looking forward to your 2019 posts and more super photography Louise. Best wishes for the holidays and New Year.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and all the best for 2019.
What a great quote to start with. And a fab post.
Nice wrap-up and look ahead to 2019. Travels is a nice word, so many possibilities, both actual physical travel, and the advancement you could make on personal projects as well.
All the best for 2019!
Thank you for stopping by. Happy 2019 to you! Yes, travels is an every day mission which is strengthened through people one meets as well as what one sees through photos and sceneries.
