Reviewing NaBloPoMo 2020

Even though NaBloPoMo somehow seems to have faded away and I didn’t encounter any other bloggers participating this year, I still very much enjoyed getting back into a blogging routine. I wrote a daily poem reflecting on the places, people and possibilities that have shaped me. This has been both an enriching and healing experience. Independently from NaBloPoMo, I also met some very inspiring and uplifting fellow bloggers along the way. I’m so grateful for being able to express my thoughts with you through this platform.
Here’s a compilation of all the poems I wrote in November:
- To the airport that’s closing its doors
- To the friend I’ve known for a decade
- To the home of my soul
- To the one who’s livin’ his dream
- To the little one that’s grown so much
- To the friend who doesn’t want to be hurt again
- To the one thinking about lowering his standards
- To the one who taught me unconditional love
- To the sister from another mister
- To the friend WordPress introduced me to
- To the friend who’s close despite the distance
- To the one who knows
- To the friend who loves to write
- To the one who’s the yang to my yin
- To the friend who lives next door
- To the poets who have helped me heal
- To the ones that have rejected me
- To the friend I call my coach
- To the city that has seen me grow
- To the one I call my Bob
- To the life that inspires me
- To the one who’d walk through fire
- To the friend who reads my mind
- To the daughter I might or might not have
- To the friend who brightens up my days
- To the one who keeps trying
- To the friend who loves to fly
- To the friend who’s very wise
- To the friend who dances with my mind and soul
- To the one who’ll always be by my side
Not only my mind went on a ramble. My body moved a lot as well. Besides the daily blogging, a second mission I set myself in November was to go for a walk every day. I didn’t plan this consciously. It simply happened. I went for a walk the first day. Then the second. And so on. It soon became a daily habit which turned out to be necessary for my well-being. All in all, I ended up walking an average of 8 kilometres a day, which reminds me of my Camino experience.
I’m proud of both accomplished November challenges. They accompanied me for a full thirty days and gave me the strength and determination to tackle new challenges lying ahead. Both self-chosen and imposed ones. Thank you for stopping by, for reading, commenting on and following my aNadventures. I hope December’s very kind to all of you!
How about YOU? Any upcoming challenges you’d like to tackle? Feel free to share them in the comment section.
