Welcome to Tuesday’s Slice of Life! As we close the book on 2019 and an entire decade, we excitedly look towards a brand new day…month…year…decade!
What glorious mistakes might you make this new year?

Tomorrow, Two Writing Teachers comes back from our winter recess. Kelsey Corter will be sharing the team’s One Little Word (OLW) posts. Have you picked your One Little Word (OLW) for 2020? We are excited to read about everyone’s #OLW and your vision for the year ahead.

My word of the year didn’t disappoint… https://iheartpurplestuff.blogspot.com/2019/12/how-humility-helped-me.html

What a wonderful day – the last of the year, and last of the decade. This slice has needed writing since October. Glad to get ONE piece in with so many wonderful TWT writers this year. Committing to one a week for 2020. (Fingers crossed!)
This is about what I learned about life, love and learning on a couple of acres in Iowa on a tractor.

I haven’t chosen my OLW yet for 2020, but I’m honing in on it. This is a post I’ve needed to write since October. It’s about what I learned on a couple of acres in Iowa about life, love & learning. Happy New Year, everyone. Thank you for sharing your stories.

My writing life took a dive this year…and so did my one little word. I think there may be a correlation between the two!
