I don’t like to make New Year’s
resolutions. Instead, I prefer to
select a word for the year.
Selecting the right word is more difficult than you might imagine. This word will guide my actions and
decisions throughout the year so the nuance of the word is important. After talking to my sister for about 3
hours and looking at the definitions of many words, I finally selected my word
for 2015.
nurture
I wanted a word that expressed my
desire to look outward more than inward.
Sometimes I spend too much time analyzing myself and I would like to
focus more on my connection to other people. I would like to be more thoughtful and more giving. The word “nurture” expresses my desire
to “encourage the growth and development of” my friends, my friendships, and
also myself.

Please take a moment to comment
on this post and share your word for the year. I would love to know what you have chosen to guide you
through 2015. Happy New Year, everyone.

By the way, my word for 2014 was stretch. I am happy to say that I was
very successful in stretching myself last year in multiple ways –
professionally, artistically, and relationshiply (I made that last word up).
Christina, you did an awesome stretching to your potential last year. I totally forgot my word for last year. In 2015 I chose confidence, but now I am unsure of my word. Need to rethink...
ReplyDeleteI think CONFIDENCE is the perfect word for you this year, artist0607! You have so many wonderful things planned and also some challenges. You will have a great year if you stay confident.

Okay I'll keep it. : )
DeleteI love your word for 2015! My word is NO. That sounds negative but I plan to use it in a positive way to take more control over situations (when I can).
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl! Like the proverb suggests, "the wisdom to know the difference" between things I can control and things I cannot is a challenge for all of us. If you are successful with NO this year, maybe your word for 2016 can be MAYBE. :)
