One Little Word® 2016 | The Reading Of The Words
As has become tradition, I've once again invited Liz Lamoreux to read the words for us.
Click here to listen to Liz read the words for 2016.
I love hearing them all out loud.
The large word in the main photo at the top of this post was created for me by my lovely friend Colleen Attara (my "Be Amazing" sweater is from Old Navy a couple of years ago). If you are looking for something smaller check out the custom acrylic words I'm offering (hand-drawn by me) this year in the shop - choose between white or black. People have been ordering family names, places, and other special words as well as their word for 2016.
Also, there is absolutely still time to join the One Little Word® workshop if you are interested in making your word visible this year and sharing the journey with others.

My word is "alive". I am in my late 50's and feel I have been numb for a number of years now, kids gone, hubbie busy, etc - now it's got to be about me and so I am choosing to wake up from my slumber and put my word into action. I AM ALIVE!!
Wow! I love that word. I too am in my 50's and feel the same way. I just may join you on that journey. :)

I don't know if this is not really the way it is supposed to be done but my word is "Complete". I would like to also use it in the contexts of completion and whole... I don't know if something like this has been done but if I can then that is my decision...I'm having problems getting the digital files, anyone else?

your OLW project through Elise's podcast (it's my favorite :) ). I was stuck briefly until OLW hit me: Leap. I don't see it on your list, and that excites me AND freaks me out - gmail login
ha! On my blog, I wrote about why I chose it and the excitement it's generated so far. I'm attempting to transition into a creative career as a solo-preneur, and I think "leap" will be the kick on the booty that I'll need -www.gmail.com

My word… I don't know yet. I want to join but haven't come across my word yet.. or better yet too many words have found me. I am wondering about the Facebook/chat part of the class i don't really use Facebook anymore, is there another way to chat or get the info?

Last year I chose to use the word “celebrate”, as I turned 60 and wanted to use the year to celebrate my year...it was an extremely wonderful year for me and I made choices and did things Ive always wanted to do. The official end to my celebratory year ended yesterday after I returned back to Vancouver after spending the past month in Adelaide, Australia visiting my family. Now I’m back dealing with jet lag and a cold (typical)...and now planning my next year. I came across “one little word” on FB which has given me a spark. Prior to departng Adelaide, I bought a hoodie that captured my imagination as the slogan on the front said “Never stop exploring”. and with that, my word for this year is, “EXPLORE”

In 2019, I never got beyond buying the OLW products. For 2020, my word was going to be time, but I have changed it to create. One area will be to create time. I changed because create seemed to more broader, more definitive of what I hope for in the new year! CREATE2020!

My word Is still me being torn between PROSPER and PROSPERITY. I wasn't going to mention it because I thought it would be on the list but it's not this year. I took a couple years off but am happy to be back! roblox tutorials mobdro https://techzpod.com/ https://get-mobdrovip.com

Thank you for your post. I have read through several similar topics! However, your article gave me a very special impression, unlike other articles. I hope you continue to have valuable articles like this or more to share with everyone! https://runaway3d.io
