in a word
December 27, 2015 § 2 Comments
A few years past, I joined a close friend in naming the New Year with Ali Edward’s inspired One Little Word®. It is a fresh perspective on the tradition of resolutions, an engaging and individual year long reflection with monthly directives that nurture a mindfulness for good intentions too often lost in the brevity of holiday momentum.
I have come to treasure the challenge of one word, settling into the list of possibilities; scratching them upon paper, waiting for one to answer an unspoken question with the subtle shift in the shape of my letters or weight of my pen in hand.
I sift through words that conjure strength or boast conviction, challenge play or validate care; words that elude me and those that name my hopes or weaknesses. It is an intimate exercise in honesty, a tender searching for a resolution of will. One I am still doodling playfully into the margins of these last lingering days of a year rich with more.

I chose mine! I won’t share it as I don’t want to influence your doodling:). But when you’re ready, it’s on my latest blog entry. Would love to know yours when you decide.
