After reading your post at the beginning of the year, I chose the word “harmony” as an intention to help create harmony at work. Let me tell you what happened.
There was one guy that constantly came into the office in a bad mood, ranting about the government, ranting about the boss, rant, rant. For the first three months this year I did my best to live in my own little corner. I made a little sign with the word “harmony” on it and put it beside my computer screen.
One day this guy comes in and starts abusively ranting about our boss, who is actually a really nice guy. I stood up for the boss. This ranter turned on me next and started targeting me. He emailed me rude things and called people to complain about me.
I stuck to my harmony. I didn’t do anything about it.
A couple weeks later, the troublemaker got fired. And harmony spread through the office- literally! It’s a cozy corner of the world now
Wow Tim, that's so encouraging to read! I love how you stuck by this harmony (a word I love as a Libra ♎⚖️). Like you, REFRAME continues to accompany me much the same way as your harmony does. Thank you for sharing your story!
I like reframing better than the word change as in change your thoughts.
I think the The Hanged Man tarot card is a perfect representation of the word as you pointed out.
In yoga, the upside down poses (where the head is below the heart) helps to rejuvenate the brain which can help in "reframing" our mental, emotional and physical health. 😊
I love how photographs with leading lines and perspective can capture our attention and draw the eye and mind to specific areas.
You have one photo in this collection that sweeps the eye up along a curving road to Castle Cly - beckoning us to travel there, and another photo where the road jarringly right-angles to the left - preventing us from reaching that same castle, or at least hinting of unknown challenges to come.
But the one that started this thought was your cover photo of Words Matter, with its sunny winding road going up into the higher valley. My eye follows the road up into the mountains, what adventures await us if we should travel up around the corner and out of frame?

Thanks for the thoughts and the images.
Keen eye! I appreciate your attention to my photographic details, that was all intentional. 🙂
Thanks for the interesting reflections. I love the word "reframe." It helps put everything into perspective. And the pictures are lovely, as usual.
