New Year’s is a time of resolutions for many, a sense of a starting place for new habits or breaking old ones.
What a lovely opportunity to do so if the rest of the year has gotten away without reform for the betterment of one’s self.
Last year I chose the do a theme of “literary pursuits” for 2021.
( @Danielw has shared a link in the past to an awesome video about themes as opposed to specifics for success in our resolutions.
Thus allowing for any endeavor under that theme to count towards your personal achievements. Very obtainable, very affirming, and highly manageable in expectations and forward momentum results.)
One of those pursuits had me joining a friend’s book club and literary society.
She too has tackled more of her desires to be active in writing her blog and book reviews, and a great job she does of it.
If you enjoy authentic opinions on in-depth book reviews please check Brittany Smyth out here at

I hope you find as many memorable reads through her recommendations as I have.
By the way, last year’s theme worked so well, I’m repeating the theme of literary pursuits until it becomes an involuntary reflex, like breathing.
Whether it’s writing excercises, reading others works, participation in courses or groups, research, etc… In this theme I have found success.
I wish you all the same for your New Years themes and resolutions and remember any day is a good day to start or start again. New Year’s Day is simply a gentle reminder.
What theme will you pick the year?
