One Little Word 2013 | The Words

My word is PAUSE.

Strengthen is my first one little word. I am so excited to be taking the class this year. Strengthen my home, body, mind, soul, family, friendships and several others.

My word is FOCUS. I see that it's already on the list.
I need to focus on my life. I've fallen into the roll of problem solver in my family. It's exhausting. So I'm going to FOCUS on what I need to be happy and not worry about everyone else. I've put my wants and needs on the shelf for many years and I think it's about time I review them and see what I can make happen in my future.

My word ist STRAIGHT

My word is gently. My thoughts turned back to OLW after reading a post over at YourHomeBasedMom's blog when she talked about her word for 2013. It took a little while for the whisper to come, and just now I think it finalized itself. There's so much I want to learn, to become, to do, and ways I want to grow . . . but it all has to come gently. I have powerful habits to the contrary . . . whether trying to force things, or work too hard, or control things when I get out of control, and I just want, so much, to gentle myself, like one gentles a horse.

Thanks so much for running OLW again this year. It's a wonderful thing, and I can't wait to do it!

My word is Value.

My word this year is USE;ful. I have been blessed with so much. Time, energy, even some talent. I don't want to be guilty of wasting anything. So I want to USE what I've been given to be a person of benefit. Someone who is USEFUL. If that makes sense.

My word is "chances". I want to stop being afraid to try new things. I can live with the fact that I failed at something, but not the question "what if". I was going to go with "fearless", but I think it is OK to be scared as long as I face my fear head on. Besides, what is the point of trying something new if I am not even a little bit afraid of it!

I chose the word "Conscious." I first latched onto intention, but that was a pretty ubiquitous word, and didn't seem to lend itself to the level of specificity that I wanted. "Present" was also fairly overarching and didn't speak to actually acting on what I want. I moved through "choice" (and it's siblings, "choose" and "choices"), and finally landed on CONSCIOUS.

What I want is to be all of the things noted above (intentional, present, and making choices), which seemed to wrap nicely up into my word, CONSCIOUS. :)

Thanks to everyone for sharing, this is beautiful.

I choose the word RISE. To mean and do what I say I will.

My word is on the list ... FORWARD.

My word is FULFILL. I am excited to FULFILL some dreams, goals and unfinished projects this year.

My OLW is "you & me" for 2013.

I chose CENTER, which was inspired by the movie "Rise of the Guardians." This year I will attempt to define my own personal center, as a guiding focus for my life's work and purpose ...

My word is momentum

My word is complete.
Live a life that feels complete. Stop wanting more.
Complete projects
Complete goals

I got in on this a bit late... word of 2013: selfless. Can't imagine what God has in store with this one! http://babylindstedt.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/word-of-2013-selfless/
