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 …

One word – what did I DO in 2017?
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
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.

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.

It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and …
One little word – 2014
For the last seven years I've been picking a word that encompasses what I want from life in the upcoming year. It's a word that reflects focus for the year, thoughts, hopes and goals. Past years words have been: Focus; Change; Adapt; Balance; Achieve; Grow. For 2013 I chose the word Challenge. My original intent was for it to push me to achieve more, to get out my comfort zone, finish projects and try new things. However life decided to turn my word on it's head and issue challenges of it's own. …
