I hope you enjoyed your New Year's Day. Neil and I went on a cleaning out/organization spree complete with a trip to our local Goodwill. It felt really good to get that stale energy moving out the door. 

Kathy and I got to talk and share our One Word for the year. She encourages and inspires me with her passion and attitude.  Kyle is just inches away from recovery from the rough patch he has been in and a peace cloud is hanging over our household. What a nice way to bring in the New Year.

Last year it was so much fun hearing from readers about what they chose for their "One Word". Please let me know if you have picked one.  You inspire me!

Want to know a little more about how it works. Here's more from Christine Kane's blog. (Read my previous post for background).

"Let’s say you are one of the many people who would normally choose “Get Organized.” You look around to see clutter all over your life. You’re tired of the chaos. So, you think, “I need to get organized. That should be my Resolution this year.”

But then you read this blog. You decide to try it.

You sit with your clutter. You spend a few days pondering words that will inspire you. You realize in an “Ah-Ha!” moment that you tend to cling to lots of things. You’re scared to let go. So you choose the word “Release” because it inspires you in a bigger way than “Get organized.”

So, every time you approach your clutter you remind yourself of that word. “Release,” you say softly. You start to let the clutter go. Eventually, you realize that you’re still holding on to lots more than just physical clutter. You realize that you hold onto resentment at old relationships. “Release,” you remind yourself. You realize that holding on is affecting your diet and health. “Release” applies to some of the extra weight you’ve gained as well. Throughout the year, you can see clearly how much you hold on. “Release” is your touchstone. It grows you throughout the year. It becomes your guiding force, not your harsh standard.

  Your clutter became your teacher simply because you shifted your intent towards it. This wouldn’t have happened if you’d opted only to “Get Organized.”

What word to choose?

Many people know immediately which word resonates with them. For others, a little contemplation is required.

I’ve compiled a list of possible words below. As you read through them, see if one stands out for you."
