One Little Word 2012 | The Words

Didn't see mine on the list, so I'll add it here. "Maximize." I plan to maximize my adventures, my relationships, my experiences/opportunities, my fitness... and so much else about my life.

These are all just great words!!! I am very excited to see what we are doing with them!!!!

Happy New Year Ali!

My word is SELECTIVE.

In 2012 I want to be more SELECTIVE where my money goes, where I shop, how I spend my time, who gets my time, what I eat, how I use my energy and on and on.

My word is "challenge"
looking forward to where this word leads me.

Forge:

1) To move ahead with increased speed and effectiveness
(I feel like I've been stuck in a rut this past year)

2) To form or make, especially by concentrated effort
(I'm going to make a concentrated effort to do more crafty things AND forge new ties)

[...] where it wouldn’t matter if I had a coughing fit, I met a new reader who introduced me to the One Little Word family — thanks, Merrick – and I have chosen RENEW for my 2012 word. There’s a [...]

My word for 2012 is QUIET. My husband wants to play along this year and his word is MIND. I don't see either on your list yet.

Thank you for posting all the words. I too enjoy reading through them all and seeing what people chose. It is my first time doing this and even submitting entries. I am trying new things. :)

My word is VENTURE. I need to stop playing it so safe...push the envelope a little more (ok...a lot more). Doing more art and not being afraid to put it out there where people can see it. I hope I can stick to it!

My One Little Word for 2012 is PREPARE.

It came to me one day and immediately I thought of the scripture: "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God."

I want to prepare every physical thing (ie. be more organized, plan ahead, etc), but mostly, I want to prepare my heart to invite the Lord's Spirit to dwell. I know that if I invite Him, my life will be blessed with peace - in my heart, home, and family.

Thanks for the inspiration!

I was inspired by your idea of one word to drive intentional decision-making in 2012, so I joined up on my blog. I'll keep in touch!

[...] year I intend to SOAR!  What is your intention for the year?  Right Here is a fantastic comprehensive list of word ideas if you haven’t picked a word for the year [...]

My word for this year is Reverent.

my word wasn't in the list so I thought I'd share: flourish.

I have chosen F E E L - as in feel peace, feel joy, feel deeply, feel profoundly, feel even stronger than I know possible! I love the Hokey Pokey, though, it goes right along with my reasoning. :) It may be my caption line :)

My word is *true*. As in being true. True to what is in my heart. True to the woman I would like to be. True to how my kids see me. True as in matching words and actions to what is inside, and making the inside match what I speak. Genuine. Authentic. Real. True.

But I love that hokey pokey one, too! How wonderful that is.

Thanks, Ali, and everyone else, for sharing!
