One word for 2020 – Consistency & how to make a vision board

//  by 

Rather than set New Years resolutions each year, I choose one word to guide me through the next 12 months. The benefit of this has been that rather than tracking a dozen different things, I only track one. Every decision I make throughout the year, I only have to think about how it reflects on my One Word. In my previous post I wrote about the 5 lessons I learned through a year of "progress". In this post, I'll talk about my new word. And, also how to make a vision board, so your word has your …

My One Word for 2019 – Progress

//  by 

Since 2007 I've been choosing one word to encompass all the goals for the year. Instead of having a bunch of resolutions, I've been choosing one word to guide me through the year. Any decision I have to make, I just ask myself "what outcome is more inline with the intention of my word" = Decision made. I originally discovered this concept through Ali Edwards back in my creative days, since then it's popped in and out of my life with a whole host of people using the same concept (frequency …

Explore – How one word changed my outlook for 2018

//  by 

In December 2017 when I decided my guiding word for 2018 was explore, I really had no idea what lay ahead for me and how my word would impact my life. In all I took 5 trips in 9 months. I've said yes to new exciting opportunities and adventures,  explored new relationships and experiences and been more open to trying new things. 2018 has truly been a year of travel, adventure and exploration. As the the year comes to a close, I am struck by how this year is different, how I am different. …

One word – what did I DO in 2017?

//  by 

At the beginning of each year I choose one word to set my intention for the year ahead. Rather than setting a ton of resolutions or firm goals one word is chosen as a theme to guide me through the year. For 2017 I chose the word "DO". I've mentioned before that sometimes the words don't always work the way you think they will, and this year was definitely one of those years. I had high hopes for 'do'. No more thinking or planning, instead just do! That was the plan, and while that …

Using one word to guide you through 2017

//  by 

Since 2007 I've been picking One Little Word to set an intention through the year ahead. This concept was introduced to me back in my scrapbooking designer days by Ali Edwards. It's something I felt drawn to and something I've done every year since. Sometimes the words I've chosen have been amazing. Others, not so much. I get it, New Year's resolutions may not be something you do. However you may just find one little word something you embrace with open arms, and are more successful …

One Guiding Word for 2022 – the year I will RISE

//  by 

Each year, rather than make resolutions I choose one word. I've been doing this since I first heard about it from Ali Edwards in 2007. Since then I've seen so many variations that I don't know who originally came up with the idea, but I love it. Every year you embody a word to guide you through the 12 months ahead. Therefore there is no need to keep track of 60 different things, just one word. Usually, I'll check in each month on how my word is guiding my life and how I want to steer things for …

One Guiding Word 2018: Explore

//  by 

Instead of setting resolutions for the New Year for the last 11 years I've chosen one guiding word to set intentions for the 12 months to come. I first started doing this is in 2007 when I was heavy into crafting and scrapbooking. I first saw the one word concept on Ali Edwards blog and immediately connected with it. My guiding word over the years have included: Focus - 2007 Change - 2008 Adapt - 2009 Balance - 2010 Achieve - 2011 Grow - 2012 Challenge - 2013 Thrive - …

One little word 2016 – Aloha!

//  by 

Each year I choose a word for the year ahead. Ali Edwards first introduced this concept to me in 2007, and I fully embraced it. As I prepared to write this post declaring my One Little Word for 2016  I suddenly realized it's TEN YEARS of choosing a single word for the year. Wow, time flies. So why choose One Little Word for the year? As Ali says: A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and …

One little word 2015

//  by 

I've mentioned before that every year I choose a word that sets my intentions for the year. I started doing this back in 2007 when Ali Edwards mentioned it on her blog, and last year I took part in her online workshop for my 2014 word THRIVE. It's always interesting to see how your intention for the word and the reality tend to be worlds apart. When THRIVE found me, I want to push forward and realize my true potential, what I didn't appreciate was that thriving might have a different sense in …
