Last year I was inspired by My One Word to choose one word as my New Year’s Resolution. I chose “Edit”, which soon morphed into two words, “Focus”. I optimistically wrote my words on an index card (one on each side, so I was still looking at just one word at a time!) and put it on my desk.
As you can see, it soon became surrounded by other words…is that wrong?
This year I chose “focus” again (guess why!) and added “balance” as my second word, after attending a yoga class taught by my favorite yoga teacher (and friend), Kristen, on New Year’s Eve.
Soon thereafter, however, I came across a Facebook post by another friend, Jody, that mentioned the word “hope” in connection with 2012. Then today, another image depicting the word “hope” showed up in my email inbox.
I can take a hint; I’m figuring out that I need to add “hope” to that mix. Therefore, I’m officially adopting “hope” as my third word for 2012. Hey, three is my favorite number anyway!
