First Book of 2021, Plus One Word for 2021

 




In case 2021 is anything like 2020, I have Pie Academy ready and I will bake my heart out.

What books are others choosing for a First Book? Take a look at Book Journey here.




My #OneWord for 2021? I'm sticking with the same word I've had for the last three New Year's Days. Play. It reminds me to be in the moment, to be spontaneous, to enjoy my life, to draw upon the spirit of love and joy that abides within us at all times. Play. My One Word.



Want to pick your own One Word? Take a look here.

Do you have a First Book for 2021? Have you chosen One Word? I hope you will share in the comments.

    I so wish you could send a pie this way! Okay, I'll just go and bake my own. Any really nice, but easy recipe in that awesome book of yours?

    Hope you will PLAY a lot this year Debbie.

    Lots of Love,

    I have The Art of Pie, Pie Camp, and now Pie Academy on my January reads list. I've deemed 2021 the year I will master the pie crust :)

    I've pondered many words for this new year, but I think my 2020 word of the year still has more to teach me: Acceptance.

    Happy New Year, Deb!

    Wonderful word, "play." I think I'll adopt it... maybe I'm too serious.

    Baking is therapeutic. I like your first choice and I think we need to keep busy doing things we love as we weather the storm of this virus. I hope you have a wonderful reading year in 2021!

    Pie Academy looks like a 'dangerous' book for me to look at. Ha! Enjoy and I love your 'one word'!

    Play is a great word for 2021. And that pie book looks yummy. :D I think if I had to choose one word for me for 2021 I'd go with Hope.

    I do love pie. I think that's a great book to start the year out with! I really like that your one word is play. We all need more of that in our lives. Have a healthy and happy New Year.

    Happy New Year, Deb! Love both your one word and your first book! I think 'play' is a fabulous word to remind yourself of every day, every year, love it!

    My husband would love it if I got that pie book! He is always asking for pie, which is something I NEVER make. Play is a great word. I can see why you wouldn't want to pick something new. Happy New Year, Deb!

    I love your first book and your word! I'm excited to start experimenting with cookbooks and recipes again. We were away from home for 3/4 of the year in 2020 all together which makes cooking not so possible.

    I LOVE your word! Being so isolated it's been hard for me to feel the joy. A reminder to play is the perfect thing. Maybe I'll steal it :)

    I did my first book post at http://powerfulwomen.wordpress.com (you'll have to use the search box) and have decided to NOT pick a word this year. Not sure why, just don't want to.
