Are they the same as last year?  Do you have a list of New Year’s resolutions that only have a 60 day shelf life?

I’ve been there.  And 2016 will definitely be new year of adventure and discovery for me.

Something I have been practicing for the past four years is choosing a single word to focus on for the coming year.  A theme word if you will. My words for the past two years, for example, have been ‘Strive‘ and ‘Intentional.’  I make screen savers and lock-screen graphics for my mobile devices to keep my word in front of me at all times.  This week I am taking time to pray and meditate about what my One Word for 2016 will be.

So I ask you again…….what are your expectations (hopes) for 2016?

Check out OneWord365 for inspiration and community support in choosing your one word and sticking with it through the entire year.

Here are some things I do to discover my One Word:

• Read scripture
• Journal
• Jot down a list of possible words
• List things you hope will become reality in 2016
• Use a thesaurus

Stay in touch as I will be posting on my One Word very soon.  I’m excited for 2016 and all it holds for YOU.

Have a very Happy New Year!
