10 on the 10th 2021: Prompts for the New Year

10 on the 10th 2021: Prompts for the New Year

Happy new year, friends!!  Just want to take a quick sec to share the prompts for 10 on the 10th 2021.  Hope you ushered in this shiny new year with lots of hope in your heart for 2021.

If you are new to 10 on the 10th, please start by checking out this post from…last year!!  Ha!! Which was actually written just a few weeks ago.  It is my 10 on the 10th post for December 2020.  This series is one I adopted last February when the gals who were originally hosting decided to discontinue it.  And it has been one of my most popular posts each month.

The idea is to share 10 thoughts, memories, reflections on the monthly prompt.  Posts go live on the 10th day of each month.  Simple!!

So, without taking up much more of your time, here are the prompts.

10 on the 10th 2021

10 on the 10th 2021: Prompts for the New Year

The Details

The questions following the actual prompt for each month are notes I made.  Feel free to take each prompt in your own direction.  At the beginning of each month, I will publish a reminder post with a little more detail about the prompt and a graphic for that month’s post.

First Half of the Year
  • 10 lessons learned or memories from 2020  January
  • 10 Q&As about love:  Do you believe in love at first sight?

10 on the 10th:  01.2021

Let’s just jump right in with the prompt for January:  10 lessons learned or memories from 2020.  Earlier this week, I linked up with Carrie for 20 from 2020.  You can read that post here.  Thinking for 10 on the 10th 01.2021, I will share lessons and memories from 2020 specific to my life and my family.

Here’s the graphic.

      Looks like some great prompts Leslie. Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments. I like to reply through the email but am unable to do since you are a “No reply blogger.” Wishing you abundant blessings this new year.

        Hmm, I don’t know what a no reply blogger is!! I need to figure out how to change that. Very strange.
        Thank you for leaving me this sweet message. Will be trying to do the hodge podge posts with you gals this year.
        Not sure how to get Joyce to send me the questions ahead of time…or does she do that?

      I love this idea! I am trying to do a few more collective posts and have already decided to do sentence a day!!!! But maybe I can alternate between that and this idea. That’s all I can probably commit to at this time.

      Thanks for keeping this creative.

        Hey Bojana, what a sweet thing to say!! I like linking up for things other than just fashion because there is so much more to all of us than just clothing. Super duper glad you are going to do Sentence a Day! I love those posts because you get a true sense of what the bloggers are like.
