Today Scottie and I revisit our year themes from January and look at one method for exploring a theme for the year ahead. If you would like information on my novels, head to rjamos.com
As I write this, it’s the end of November. Already. And that means that the new year (yes, 2022) is just around the corner.
This makes it the ideal time to start thinking about the year theme for the year to come.
Write and tell me about your year themes at ruth@ruthamos.com.au or find me on Facebook at Ruth Amos Author or Twitter @aquietlifeblog. I’d love to hear from you.
Scott from Ultra106.5 and I have a chat about our themes for the year. Mine is ‘order’ and his is ‘health’. We talk about how and why we set them, and how it’s going so far.
Have you set a theme for your year? Write and tell me at ruth@ruthamos.com.au or find me on Facebook at Ruth Amos Author or Twitter @aquietlifeblog. I’d love to hear from you.
It’s really great to be back! This year, the interviews will be aired fortnightly, the other week in the fortnight I will be recording and posting my memoir ‘My Year of Saying No’.
Today’s guest is Kylie from the Christian Coaching Institute Australia. She is full of wisdom about listening and approaching life with curiosity. It’s a great way to start the year’s podcasts.

I changed the bed sheets today. It was a job that was long overdue. (Yes, I know, but isn’t the blog-verse a place for over-sharing?)
As I put the crisp white sheets on my bed and hung the washed sheets out on the clothes line I was thinking how pleasant it is to start the year with clean sheets. And, of course, that got me thinking metaphorically.
I know that New Year’s Day is all about new year’s resolutions and commitments to new behaviours for the new year. Perhaps New Year’s Eve is about clean sheets. About having a clean slate to start the next year with. About forgiveness.
How about, instead of making resolutions that you don’t really intend to keep, you spend some time in repentance for the things that you have done in the old year and accept for yourself a clean slate?
How about we forgive those who have hurt us, and give each other clean sheets going into the new year?
Let’s start 2015 with crisp white sheets, forgiving, forgiven and free.
