My friend, Tawnya, is a genius. On her blog, she wrote about how she chose to focus on one word throughout the year instead of a list of resolutions. I LOVE this!! I've never been one for the whole resolution thing. I would do it. I would make my list and then forget about it in a month (or sooner!) It would leave me feeling overwhelmed and frustrated because there was so much I wanted to do/be and I just couldn't pick one thing to focus on. I felt like I had to do it all at once.
But ONE word. There are so many words! How could I chose just one? I've thought and thought about what my word should be. What is it that I need most, right now?
LOVE
That is my word. Love in thought, word and deed. More love for others, my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ and (the one that scares me most) learning to love myself. If I could win an award for being hard on myself, I would win gold. Several times over.
I'm scared. I've thought about other words but love keeps coming back. It's the one. It's already challenging and I wonder how I'm going to do it. I wonder how I will change?
WOW. Camille, you are amazing and very brave --- I think I could choose LOVE over and over again and never quite get to where I should be. Maybe that will be my word for next year. I look forward to hearing about your year -- and I think you're FABULOUS, by the way :)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. So much. It's so fun to see where it takes you! You usually end up in a much different place than imagined by year's end. Can't wait to watch!
