Word for the Year

It is that time again. Time to choose a word for the year.

I began this process a few years ago, and it has become a personal tradition.

It is essentially finding a word (or words) that represent a theme for the year ahead. It can be a reminder. It can become a kind of anchor or guide. Something you are calling in. Something you are exploring. Expanding or growing into.

There are many ways to do it. Get creative. Have fun. Make your own.

I was introduced to this and still follow Susannah Conway’s way through. If you have not been introduced to her wonderful offerings, check her out. She generously makes them available for free! Go to Find Your Word for 2019.

I am taking my time. I have not chosen yet. And after I choose, I will write in the sand on the beach and let the waves wash it into the future.

Last year I had a slew of words! (I could not settle on just one.)

Daring Greatly/Stretch/Curious/Creative/Depth/Credibility/Courage

Guess what? My year was filled with exactly those. I look at those words and feel them residing in my core. I know them intimately.

I cannot wait to see what word I choose for 2019. (Or will it choose me?)

What word will be yours for the year ahead?

I am going to do it.

I am!

Really.

I have begun to really think about getting to it.

I’ve been getting ready to start to consider doing it.

I’m preparing to be ready to start.

I am so totally going to do it.

I’ve already been doing it…in a way.

It’s what I’ve wanted to do my whole life!

So what if maybe deep down I don’t actually think I am very good at it?

Yeah, maybe I am afraid that I don’t really fit in with the whole industry,

I’m still going to do it!

I just have to find a way to do it while being secretly terrified of actually trying.

Because, like, what if I fail?

What if I finally try, and I actually fail?

What will I revolve my whole life around then?
