For the past few years, I have eschewed making a list of new year’s resolutions. Instead, I have opted to select one word – yes, just one word – to serve as my focus, my guide, my intention for that year. One year it was LIGHT, last year it was LISTEN. This year, I have selected a word based upon where I am now and how I hope to go through this year.
Lots of things are “up in the air” in my life right now…there is lots of uncertainty and most of it is out of my control. I feel a bit like a raft in the middle of the ocean…at the mercy of the currents and conditions that I can’t predict or control. So, that has influenced my word for the year. I have chosen FLOW.
I am determined to go with the flow and not swim against the current.
I want to find my creative flow.
I want to deepen my yoga practice…where it’s important to flow. Once again I am having my word painted by Jenn Gietzen of Write On! Design, available through Waiting on Martha. Last year, I had Jenn paint my word in black calligraphy. This year, I’m going with hot pink lettering! She can also do metallic and will customize it with your initials and the year. I have looked at my “word” every day this year and will put it aside once FLOW arrives.
What would your one word be? Make it so!
I think my word will be “Persevere”.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Happy New Year!
AS I will be turning 50 in a few weeks my word is “relish” which is so funny as it coincides with my blog but i need to relish time and family and friends as time seems to keep marching on.

Elizabeth, Happy New Year! I think my word for the new year will be ‘Happy.’ The word is simple, inspiring and to the point!

Happy Friday, Elizabeth! I like your word – I need to learn to go with the flow a bit more. I haven’t quite figured out my official word of the year yet – maybe “Accept” – as in accept what I cannot control, accept myself and others “as is”, accept new challenges and accept all fun invitations. What do you think?
Have a beautiful weekend, my dear! xoxo
