This is the collection of all of this week’s entries for Trifextra’s Week Ninety-Nine’s Three Word New Year’s Resolution Challenge. The challenge was based on Michael Ness’ Just Be Nice.
2013 was a difficult and painful year for me and it’s not over yet. I found so much hope and strength in all the entries. Once I started reading them, I wanted to remember them all. So I gave myself this assignment. It proved a very cathartic way to spend the day writing out everyone’s resolution, their blog name, and linking it up. I feel like I got to know everyone a little bit and made me grateful that I joined this community a few months back.
What I found interesting was how nothing repeated itself. There are variations on themes (more writing, focusing on self, doing better) but everyone had their unique interpretation. It also struck me just how meaningful each of these is to each writer. A lot of bloggers offered their backstory – and even drafts – of how they came to their final three words which is even more powerful.
These all make lovely koans and I hope that by collecting them all in one place, we can see just how connected we all are – that our struggles and hopes run along parallel lines, that we are all trying to be better people in our own way, and that moving into a new year is as meaningful as we want it to be.
e.g. 
I would “like” this but WP won’t let me. I think this is a beautiful idea. I had a very hard year as well and 2014 is a bit of an uphill climb but reading all the resolutions really cheers one up.
It really helped me to type each one out. Some of them became my own in a way. I hope 2014 is better for you. It may just be turning a page on the calendar but at this point – I’ll take it!
A new day no matter the year is always a fresh beginning 🙂
Awesome work, Katie! I hope 2014 and beyond is wonderful in every way for you 😀 Happy New Year!
Thank you! It was fun to do. Glad I gave myself the assignment 🙂
This? Is AWESOME. It’s so inspiring to see these all laid out like this. I hope 2014 brings only happy things for you, and that you can live your resolution every day, even if things get tough. Thanks so much for putting this list together.
You’re welcome! My gift to the Trifecta community – in the short time I’ve been a part of it, it has proven to be very loving. Love the positivity of everyone and the support.
Write on!
Wishing you a bright 2014. Great words!
And to you!
Thank you for doing this, Katie. I love this. So inspirational! May 2014 bring you much joy 🙂
You’re very welcome. It was fun to do. I figured other people would want to see them all, too!
Happy New Year!
Thanks Katie! It is cool to see all of these in one place. My resolution was rather tongue in cheek, especially compared to some of the heart-felt ones out there. Your “expect the best” is also a wonderful resolution!
Thank you! And I spent an inordinate amount of time making it a straight list without extra spaces. Didn’t mean for mine to leap out on the end there!
well, it IS your blog, yours SHOULD stand out!
hahahaha I am still coming to terms with having a blog. And putting myself out there.
Great job , Katie. Wishing you a very happy new year!
Thanks! And to you!
Thanks for linking me up! All the best in the new year! 🙂
Of course! Happy New Year!
What a wonderful way to take a step forward! I hope you have a much better year ahead of you!
Thank you for linking me back here.
Good luck!
Thank you!
This is such a great idea! I appreciate the time and effort you put into compiling this list. I also wanted to “Like” this but my button hasn’t worked all day. I thought it was my PC, but seeing Anja’s comment, I think it’s a WordPress thing.
It was really nice typing it all out. And opening each link was like – ooooh! Good one!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
A great compilation. I have saved a copy.
🙂
Katie, this is my first blog comment of the new year, and I can’t think of a better post to comment on. I think what you’ve done here is wonderful, and I’m grateful to you for doing this. I’m going to print this out and hang it in my little writing area as constant reminder to make 2014 a great year, and I wish you many blessings this year as well:)
Honored to be the first! It is a great list – seems to have everything one could need to make a year awesome!
Happy New Year to you, too!
Thank you for taking the time to link up all these wonderful resolutions! What a lovely thing to do. I hope this New Year brings with it a great experiences and memories thatwill make you smile. Happy New Year to you
Happy New Year to you!
thank you, thank you, thank you…for highlighting all of them, for sharing them, for being in this space with us.
I’m honored and humbled to be part of this list, to be part of Trifecta and to be part of all my writing communities. They have saved my heart so many times in the last few years.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Was your resolution to be awesome?!
Thank you! A very Happy New Year, Katie!
🙂
This is so cool! Thank you for collecting all of these and laying them out for us. I’m amazed at the variation.
What an inspiring way to begin the new year. 😀
I spent NYE doing the first batch – realized I needed to catch the rest today before they disappeared!
Yes – the variation is fantastic.
Wow! It’s so cool to see all our resolutions listed here. Thanks for doing this. 🙂
Katie, so thankful for this hardwork of assorting every single participant. Loved reading so many beautiful arrangements here. Makes me wonderful how many ways to represent beauty! Thanks again for this.
Oh you’re welcome! It was fun to do.
your idea…simply wonderful, Katie. they are all great resolutions 🙂 thank you!
I hope you do not mind but I linked this to my post for those interested in reading the collection. So much work you put into this, I thought it would be great to spread it further. 🙂
Oh Awesome! I was hoping people would share it. It is really nice to see them all together.
Happy New Year!
It was wonderful of you to do this. I have printed it up and stuck it on the front of my refrigerator ..my morning inspiration. I hope 2014 is kinder to you.
Once I get a printer set up, I plan to do the same!
Thank you for your kind words.
Happy 2014.
