Can a single word make a difference?
Can it set the tone?….provide focus? ….serve as a reminder?
I believe it can…or at least I’m prepared to find out.
Around this time last year, I started reading a good deal about the practice of selecting one word for the year…while I didn’t end up choosing a word, there was something about the idea that resonated with me. As 2014 came to an end and I started thinking about what I wanted the new year to look like, lots of goals for different areas of my life came to mind – I recently shared my my running/fitness goals here.
And, as I sat with all of these different goals, I kept returning to desire to have one idea/theme to tie them all together. I started thinking about the one word practice again – a couple of words popped up fairly quickly but one seemed to sit best with me…
My word for 2015 is Thrive – to flourish, to progress, to evolve… I think this word will be a great inspiration for all I hope to do and be this year in so many aspects of my life.
Have you ever selected one word for the year? Do you have a word for 2015?
I haven’t selected a word but thrive is a good one!

That is a FANTASTIC word! I haven’t picked a word, but this just might inspire me!

I love your word–so fitting in so many areas of life. I’ll be interested to see how you like using it throughout the year!

That’s a great choice for a word! I love it. I have been trying to come up with one myself. Not quite there yet.

I also love picking a word or theme. I don’t like lists of goals (maybe simply because I’m too lazy to make the list)..but a word / theme is manageable and easy enough to remember throughout the year!
Great word!! I had not thought about a word for the year, but your post inspires me to think of one. Thanks!
