My One Word

A few years ago, a friend had asked me what was my one word for the year…….huh? I wasn’t sure what she was talking about, but I liked the sound of it….”tell me more.” She talked about choosing a word that resonated, and felt right in my heart regarding the upcoming year. One word that would inspire me, one word I would go back to time and time again throughout the year, if not on a daily basis. One word to give the year meaning, one word only meant for me.

Her word had no special meaning to me, as my word to her. They are as individual as the people choosing them. This year started no different than the last two when picking my word, and I let the thought settle on my heart. However, not one, but two words kept coming up, and neither one seemed more important than the other. Hmmm….so I sat with those two words for a bit until the answer was clear. They each felt right, and I decided I needed both…….it was a twofer….HA!

At first they seemed to be on opposite ends of the spectrum, and I wondered what it all meant. The more I thought about, and reflected on how those two words would change my life for the better, they both made perfect sense. I knew in that moment, just how important that twofer was.

My one word for the year that turned into my two words are……..”surrender” and “action”…..in just that order. They are my two words that will be used to set my daily intentions, and a reminder of what is important for me in this new year. Now that you know mine…..what is your one word?
