I need to be more purposeful with my time outside of work. My word this year is allot to remind me that planning ahead will help me stay aware of how I use the time I've been given.

Hey Ali---
I didn't get mine posted and it's not here :) My word of the year is ABIDE.
Thanks for compiling this list every year. This is my 7th year in choosing a word...it's become one of my favorite traditions.
Here's why I chose this word:

This will be my first year participating in OLW even though I thought about it for the last three years. Last year I even picked the word BELIEVE but never followed through. This year I made the commitment. After signing up I made a list of words.....23! So far I have it narrowed down to two. LIVE and COMMIIT

My word this year....aspire

I choose JOY. Definitions I like are: 1) the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires 2) a source or cause of delight. Am looking forward to the class. Thanks!

Greetings from Southern Oregon! Even though I have been following your blog since it's inception, this is my 1st entry. There are so many wonderfully inspirational words chosen by your readers, I wondered how on earth I could narrow my own selection to...1 little word. I think my word shall be...TRANSITION for 2013. I retired unexpectedly 3 years ago. With a 93 yo Mother who moved in with us and a husband whose diabetes is taking its toll, I struggle to make this TRANSITION gracefully.

Ali, I have wanted to take your OLW class for several years and am excited to finally be doing it this year. This is my third year to select a word though. Looking forward to giving it deeper focus through your class. My word is not on your list yet. It is HIGHER.

[...] for those who say, my days are the same, my days are boring. I’ve also been thinking about my OLW (one little word) and there are just SO many possibilities to choose from. But the one that struck me today is HOME. [...]

My OLW is understand.

My word, kindle, is not on the list. I want 2013 to be a year of small sparks.

Patience is my word. It's cool to see everyone's word. Cool.

My OLW for 2013 is "you & me". I want to focus on the relationship with my husband so we "live" instead of just exist with each other.

I've been struggling with finding my word. I always have so many goals and projects but have not been very successful in seeing anything to completion. So I have determined that 20113 will be THE year to finally do the things that have been on my list year after year. There are several possibilities that I am considering but no single one that is really resonating with me. Hopefully one will become more apparent before too much time passes!

My word this year is Confident. Because I know I can do so much more if I learn to believe in myself!

[...] Ali Edwards’ One Little Word List – My word for 2012 was “intention”. I’m still narrowing down my word for 2013 and I love this comprehensive list of possibilities. [...]
