living from wholeness (new post at roots of she)
I am so delighted and honored to be part of the Winter tribe over at Roots of She. I love all that Jenn is doing in her corner of the world, and I'm really looking forward to sharing and learning and connecting over there for the next few months.
In today's post, I write about my word of the year and share a beautiful practice that came about through a conversation with Nona Jordan earlier this month.
Here is an excerpt from the post:
For the last few years, I have worked with the practice of choosing a word to focus on throughout the year. I choose my word in December and then spend time thinking about it and journaling about it in early January. And I create a necklace with my word that I wear as a reminder throughout the year. This year, I also followed along with Ali Edwards and her “One Little Word” class.
I love how choosing a word invites me to let go of having resolutions I might or might not keep, and instead gently pushes me to look forward with self-kindness and think about how I most want the next year to unfold. As I think about all that could happen in a year, I want my word to be a companion that brings me back to center amidst whatever beauty and uncertainty await.

I have read the whole post (excuse the pun, unintended) and found it quite inspirational. I am going to think of a word myself and make a similar list for 2012. Thank you.
I did a similar thing this year! It truly is nice to forget about resolutions and focus on a word instead. It really sets a nice intention for the year.
I love this idea, but need to give a word for the year more thought.
