January is such a great month! First I wanted to review the challenge since we started the year off with it. Let me just say the first day was like gossip was on a mission and I was the target. That’s the one thing about starting a challenge, it seems to attract the very thing you are trying to avoid. I developed a game plan to avoid the chatter and it paid off during the rest of the challenge.
A good question was raised concerning the definition of gossip. When you share with someone the events of your day is that considered gossiping? Are good comments about someone else considered gossip? Or is gossip just negative comments about someone made to cause damage to the person’s character? The dictionary defines gossip as “idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others” or “rumor or general talk that is damaging to reputation; it is usually more or less malicious.” This challenge will be revisited!
Now the great thing about January is that it is the beginning of a new year. It is also my birth month! I had an oyster roast for my special day and the most beautiful and delicious birthday cake one could ever imagine! Sorry I didn’t take the picture of the cake so you can’t see the two chocolate covered strawberries at the top. I LOVE strawberries!
Stay tuned for our next Trailblazer feature!
