One Little Word 2013 | The Words

[...] Little Word has been one of those things. I think it’s cool idea that the amazing Ali Edwards has come up, but really I thought it was cool for OTHER [...]

This is my first year participating in OLW, and I have chosen the word

CHALLENGE

I will be challenging myself, as well as facing new challenges (both known, and unknown) over the next year, so I thought it was fitting. Since signing up a few weeks ago for the class other words have floated by as possibilities, but none sticks out so strongly as this one. So I am going with it!! The word gods have spoken! :)

My word is "Progress" it came to me just today as I had a totally different word picked out and ready to go, then suddenly "progress" hit me like a ton of bricks. You see, last February I had weight loss surgery and while I've done well I haven't seen the progress I'd like to have seen, so this year I'm ready to really make it happen. Progress in my health, my mental image, my self esteem, my life. Thank you for the inspiration Ali.

my word is completion. I need to start completing what I start.

Rise.

WISH. :) 2013 is going to be full of them.

My word is daily.

I need to be more purposeful with my time outside of work. My word this year is allot to remind me that planning ahead will help me stay aware of how I use the time I've been given.

My word this year is Nourish. The list is amazing - thanks for putting it together.

Hey Ali---
I didn't get mine posted and it's not here :) My word of the year is ABIDE.
Thanks for compiling this list every year. This is my 7th year in choosing a word...it's become one of my favorite traditions.

Here's why I chose this word:

This will be my first year participating in OLW even though I thought about it for the last three years. Last year I even picked the word BELIEVE but never followed through. This year I made the commitment. After signing up I made a list of words.....23! So far I have it narrowed down to two. LIVE and COMMIIT

My word this year....aspire

I choose JOY. Definitions I like are: 1) the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires 2) a source or cause of delight. Am looking forward to the class. Thanks!

Greetings from Southern Oregon! Even though I have been following your blog since it's inception, this is my 1st entry. There are so many wonderfully inspirational words chosen by your readers, I wondered how on earth I could narrow my own selection to...1 little word. I think my word shall be...TRANSITION for 2013. I retired unexpectedly 3 years ago. With a 93 yo Mother who moved in with us and a husband whose diabetes is taking its toll, I struggle to make this TRANSITION gracefully.

Ali, I have wanted to take your OLW class for several years and am excited to finally be doing it this year. This is my third year to select a word though. Looking forward to giving it deeper focus through your class. My word is not on your list yet. It is HIGHER.

"persist" is mine for this year....

[...] for those who say, my days are the same, my days are boring. I’ve also been thinking about my OLW (one little word) and there are just SO many possibilities to choose from. But the one that struck me today is HOME. [...]

My little word is recover!

My OLW is understand.
