The word that keeps popping into my head is AIM - looking forward to seeing what that will actually mean to me this year. Maybe a continuation of last year's word to purposefully incorporate some things into DAILY life.

My word is IMPRESSION. I want to be conscious of the impression I am giving, intentional or not. But, I also want to be deliberate in leaving an impression, to let the world know I was here.

[...] Here are some words bloggers, educational or otherwise, will focus on for 2013. Karen Lirenman, a Grade 1 teacher in our school district, wrote about her word recently. You can read her post here. As a new mom, Kath Younger, writes about her word here. Jo-anna writes about her word of the year on her A Pretty Life in the Suburbs blog here. Merry, on her blog Merry With Children, writes about her one word here. [...]

My word is content. I need to be content with all aspects of my life. There is really no reason I shouldn't be. I am looking forward to this journey this year.

What to do when you can't choose one word? I am stuck between two words...and in usual form I am pushing pushing pushing myself.
My two words are soften and settle.
I will sleep on it and see how I go I think! One will pick me.

Ok my word turned out to be balance.
Equilibrium was another I liked but I think balance sums it up perfectly for me :)

My OLW is Quality.
I have a much echoed sentiment - I commit to doing too much and it becomes diluted. I am seeking this year to have way fewer QUALITY things - all across the board in every aspect of my life.

This year, I've chosen the word "momentum" to ponder throughout 2013. I'm excited to see where this year and this word takes me. If nothing else, it should be an adventure.

I am choosing MANNER. To think about the manner in which I do things and why. To pay attention. I like that the origin is Middle English: from Old French maniere, based on Latin manuarius ‘of the hand,’ from manus ‘hand.’ I think the image of the hand will play prominently in documenting my word.
