This will be my first year choosing one word to
explore and grow with during the next year. I've always done resolutions,
but often failed to see them through. I think I'm in agreement with many
others in my circle that choosing a word to embrace throughout the year may be
a bit more positive rather than trying to "fix" something wrong with
me by making a resolution.
So, this year I chose the word "LIGHT".
Actually, I think it chose me because I kept running across this word all
month long. So it seemed natural for it to be "MY" word for the
next year. In studying my word here are a few things I ran across on the
Internet.

or affords illumination

I'm really
looking forward to the many facets of the work "LIGHT" and how I will
grow in the coming year using it as guidance! May you all have so MANY
blessings in the coming year! I see a lot of changes and growth coming my
way and I'm excited to share them with you!

May your light shine all year!
Enjoy the many ways light will appear to you, and that you will beam to others this year! Stopping by from flying lessons. Blessings Nancy
Oh I love Light! I like to remember that without the darkness we would not know Light. Everything has its place and time. I am excited that this is your year for Light! Can't wait to see you shining! huggs
Hi Debi! You're right! Our words are very similar. I was super drawn to 'light' as well....and knew I needed some element of that for this year.
I wish for you lots of light, ignition, kindling, etc. for the year!
By the way: I'm from the Pacific NW, too! (Also from Washington State!)

May you be a light to others as you grow in the light. Good luck with your word! :)
I love this process,one word to focus on during the year. Being expectant of the ways God uses a word to change and mold us. Looking forward to hearing more of your journey with light.
Mike Ashcraft's book My One Word is really helpful in the journey.
Grace and peace,

WOWSA! You've been productive while I've been away! Your blog blew me away tonight. So tickled to see how much you've done. Wanted to comment on a post and chose this one since I too set themes for the year. Last year was Physical. Haven't yet landed on this year's theme - still working on it. Thanks for the inspiration!
