Like the past two years, I'm entering into the new year with a word that is meant to guide me; a word that represents what I want for the year, what I'm going to strive for and hope for. Last year my word didn't come easily to me. This year, it seemed to bark at me from every angle, making it impossible to ignore.
Grow: to be capable of developing. To come into existence. To raise. To expand and increase. To reach maturity. To become larger. To become better or improved.
I don't delve very deep into my issues here, but let me tell you: my life is far from perfect, and my attitude towards life and how I feel about myself are far from perfect as well. This is why 'grow' has such a deep-rooted meaning for me.
I intend to grow. Grow as a mother. Grow as a wife. Grow as a woman. Grow in my relationships, my friendships. Grow with purpose and intention. Grow stronger, wiser, higher. Grow professionally and creatively.

I'm
excited to see how my one little word will manifest itself in 2015, and
I hope that you will all follow along on my journey to find out.

* One Little Word is "a word to focus on, meditate on, and reflect upon as you go about your daily life", created by Ali Edwards. You can see all of my one little word posts here.
What a great word Rachel! I am doing one little word for the first time this year... I love looking back at your old posts & seeing what words you chose. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteThat is one beautiful word! And applicable in so many parts of life. I hope it brings you what you need.
ReplyDeleteIt IS beautiful, you're right :)
DeleteGrow is such a strong word. I like it. Oh and I would add "grow a garden" :)
ReplyDeleteDo you take Ali's Class?
I think it's a strong word, too :)
DeleteNo, I'm not taking the class. I know it's only $30 but I can't justify the cost to my hubby. He just doesn't understand. I'm on a no-more-scrapbooking spending freeze :(
Ummmmm. Am I late to the game with just now noticing the blog facelift?!
ReplyDeleteAlso: YAY! I think this word will be really great for you. And as always, I'm here to vent to when you feel like you can't vent here. But you already knew that :)
Ha, I JUST did it :) so no worries!
