My word, kindle, is not on the list. I want 2013 to be a year of small sparks.

Patience is my word. It's cool to see everyone's word. Cool.

My OLW for 2013 is "you & me". I want to focus on the relationship with my husband so we "live" instead of just exist with each other.

I've been struggling with finding my word. I always have so many goals and projects but have not been very successful in seeing anything to completion. So I have determined that 20113 will be THE year to finally do the things that have been on my list year after year. There are several possibilities that I am considering but no single one that is really resonating with me. Hopefully one will become more apparent before too much time passes!

My word this year is Confident. Because I know I can do so much more if I learn to believe in myself!

[...] Ali Edwards’ One Little Word List – My word for 2012 was “intention”. I’m still narrowing down my word for 2013 and I love this comprehensive list of possibilities. [...]

My word for 2013 is felicity
It means intense happiness and "the ability to find appropriate expression for one's thoughts"
Thought it was pretty cool and different.

I've chosen NEXT as my OLW for 2013. I am looking forward to what is next for me in all aspects of my life, as well as for my family. It's kind of my way of moving forward from the past.

I have prayed about this a lit. 2012 was the year I lost my best friend love in a night when he slept. My body, my heart, my soul and my spirit had to rest. I rested for the first tune in 42 years for probably 6 months. It is hard to start and it is hard to be in 2013 where he never lived only in 2012.
So my word is live. Both meanings: my soul is live. I live...
For me the word is a line or a path I suppose. It brought me to 2013 without a "re-start" for a new year. That is because I live therefore I am here.
Maybe it makes sense to others. It does in my life right now where my words of the past are so far away.

My word is WONDERSTRUCK...I want to live every day with more wonder in my life for my family, my friends, the world God created around me and the joy and miracles that I've spent far too long ignoring or sleeping through!

Hi Becki,
you may already be familiar with this but I just started reading a new book, Wonderstruck by Margaret Feinberg. It sounds like it is right up your alley!

REMEMBER. Looking forward to your class! My BFF, who I do DD and Week in the Life with, gave it to me for Christmas. We are taking it together. Can't wait! Always amazes me how my one little word can guide my entire year, and make me look for new ways to see things. Thanks!!

Resolve (both verb and noun). There are several things in my life that I want to resolve and I'll need RESOLVE to accomplish them.
