One Little Word® 2014 | The List & The Reading Of The Words
One of the traditions I started a couple years back was to have my friend Liz Lamoreux record herself reading the words that people have left in the comments of my annual One Little Word® blog post.
She's back again this year and I'm super happy to have her.
Click below to hear her read the words (compiled from the list through Jan 2nd at 7pm):
You can hear her read the 2013 list here, the 2012 list here and the 2011 list here.
Liz is a dear friend, a wonderful retreat leader, and a jewelry designer. Check out her beautiful collection of soul mantras and other stories in her etsy shop. She made a bracelet for me this year (shown above) - love mixing it up for 2014.

Registration is still open for my workshop One Little Word® (and will remain open throughout the year). The simple premise is to make your word more visible for you throughout the year with a single, focused creative prompt at the beginning of each month. Joining up is not a huge time commitment over the course of the year and you don’t have to be into scrapbooking to participate.

I am transitioning into retirement and have chosen the word "opportune," as I expect there will be lots of opportune moments to explore, make decisions about and participate in. THis is a very exciting time! Thanks for providing this opportune moment!

My word is grit. And it came to me on the bus today. I'm going to need a whole lot of grit for 2014. There are important lessons to be learnt and I'm going to persevere through them with an abundance of grit!
