Literacy Musing Mondays: Celebrating 2016

By 23 Comments

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  We wrapped up our holidays yesterday by putting away our Christmas tree and Christmas decorations. Now, we are celebrating the beginning of 2016!

The New Year often brings declarations of resolutions or in some cases one word to focus on for the year.   Are you making resolutions or focusing on one word?

I have not decided or even planned for the New Year yet. I savored my holiday season with family. I am not even sure I plan to make resolutions or focus on one word for 2016.  I am going to take my time and pray first. Right now, I have two days left until my daughter and husband return to work; so, I am going to enjoy the last day of holiday vacation not worrying about 2016 and beyond.

A quick announcement: we are looking for guest posters for January!  Please contact Mary at marykatbpcsc45 at gmail (d0t) com if you are interested.  You can also comment in my comment area below leaving your email address in a safe way and we will contact you.  Potential topics could include winter titles not to miss; reading and learning goals with great resources. All weeks are open for the rest of January; so let us know soon so we can schedule you in.  🙂

So onto our linkup. What are you reading this week? What are you goals and plans for 2016?  Share. We love all your posts about a literacy, reading, writing, and learning.

 

Now let’s ….

My One Word for 2016

By Scraping Raisins

Days before I ran across this new challenge (can you tell I'm an overachiever...), God seemed to be preparing me with a single word.
Leslie is not new to our Most Read post for the week.  She wrote the most-read post last week. This week she invites us to choose one word for 2016, and she explains why she selected the word: Enjoy. Be sure to check out her post!  What is your one word for the New Year? Have you written a post about it? Be sure to share it this week in the linkup so we can all read it and encourage you. 😉
Want to be the next to be featured! Just link up a post and if you are read the most, we will feature you. Also please make sure you link back to us so others will know about our link up and join in. We try to make it worth your while to linkup with us by promoting your posts across our social media networks. We also pin your posts to our Pinterest Board!

Linkup Rules:

  1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
  2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
  3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup.  Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome anything with excessive violence, sexual content, or cursing. These posts will be deleted.
  4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the post next to yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. I know as a blogger, you know how it feels not receive comments, right. Spread the comment love this holiday season. 🙂 Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
  5. Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
  6. Tweet about the link up too.

  1. Hi Mary! I’ve contacted you twice about guest posting and never heard back either time. I think something is either wrong on my end or yours. I’d love to guest post this month or next if you’d like – please email me at tina {at} mommynificent {dot} com.

    Thanks so much for sharing your incredible link-up at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!

    I’m with you, my planning went out the window over vacation. I got some much needed family time + R&R.
    Now it’s time to plan… and flourish. 🙂
    Wishing you all the best in 2016!!
    XOXO

  12. So happy to hear that you have been enjoying lots of family time during the Christmas and New Year season. I am still in denial that school starts tomorrow, but am trusting for grace – for energy too! I do not have a word for 2016, but am asking myself all kinds of questions about how I use my time, and how I view time. Praying for wisdom!
    Blessings to you, Mary, and a blessed 2016!
