my word is measles - this might be a little off-the-wall but it's the only one that seems to make sense to me right now. i love so many of the words posted and many apply to me also...but i need to shake things up this year. my list is long and there is much i want to do! so measles it is -- me=me, as=as, l=living, learning, loving, e=every, s=second. me as living/learning/loving every second.
Very clever! I hope those values get "stuck on you" and "infect" other people!

My little word is There! Excited to see where there is!

I love this idea of anchoring an idea to one word. I had a hard time picking a word and then it just hit me.. acceptance. Acceptance of others and where they are at, which I pretty much do, but more acceptance of me. Who I am is okay, what I am doing right now is the best I can do and it is okay. I want balance in my life, where I don't have to keep striving to be better and prove myself to I don't even know who. I want to stop worrying about being judged. I will accept myself for who I am. Thank you

My word is ACT.....I am excited to focus on a word and see how it shapes my life. I want to be ACTive, proACTive, ACT on my dreams, wishes, needs.

It has taken me until Day 3, but I have decided that my word for 2013 will be, "capture".

I have never really done the OLW before, so I am going to give it a try! My word this year is FUN. I want to be more engaged with my family and just let go a little more. Love reading the list, and thank you for the inspiration!

I'm here for the 1st time and I'm not sure what happens once my word has been chosen, but I have chosen it, so please can you add RESOLUTE to the list? I have blogged about my choice today. http://noseycritters.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/one-little-word.html

Oh how I want to join this class. I just don't know if I could spend that kinda of money right now. But if even if I don't join the class I am going with the word "write". I want to write more; blog, journal, book and in general.

After much consideration, I believe my OLW for 2013 is ACHIEVE...it seems to be the one that best encompasses all that I want/intend/hope to do this year.

My word is "enough". Excited to see others have chosen this word, too! Off to sign up for the class!

My 2013 OLW is release. I need to release some things from my life and I need to find release in others.

It took a few days for my One Little Word to come to me. After trying to smush all of my ideas together, I had a revelation in the shower (not a rare occurrence for me!). My OLW for 2013 (and my first time to participate) is grow.

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. [...]
