Today I am excited to introduce you to a new Etsy shop and sponsor of Your Homebased Mom. You know how I love Etsy, in fact I love it so much I opened my own Etsy shop!
When Beki of the Rusted Chain contacted me about sponsoring a giveaway here on the blog and being a sponsor I was so excited. Beki makes beautiful personalized jewelry and I knew she would be the perfect one to make my Word of the Year necklace!
As you may remember, my word of the year is really not a word but rather a prefix – Re. I was a little worried about how strange it may look on a necklace but when it arrived, wrapped up so pretty from The Rusted Chain, I loved it!
I didn’t realize how many freckles I had until I saw this photo! Freckles and all the necklace is beautiful!!
Here’s a necklace with Beki’s word of the year – Soar. What a great word.
Wouldn’t you love a pretty necklace with your word of the year engraved on it?!

My word would be embrace.
If that’s too long for the necklace, my word would be love.
I chose those words because this is the year I have decided to embrace me.
I think women, or atleast me, spend a lot of time looking for our value in how we look, what we have, what we wish we were, etc. This is the year I embrace me and love me as is. No more waiting for “when I’m. . . ”
(I actually thought about peace as my word, as in finally coming to peace with myself but I thought it sounded a bit hippie!)

My word is abide.
In John 15 verses 4 and 5 , Jesus said “Abide in me and I in you . . . For without me ye can do nothing.”

I want to abide.
My word is Enjoy. Last year was a rough one for our family, so I want to enjoy life this year. Enjoy the company of my family, enjoy my pets, enjoy my hobbies, enjoy the little things I see and do everyday. A little less worrying about cleaning & work, and a lot more enjoyment.
