One Little Word® 2018 | The Reading Of The Words

Today I bring you the annual reading of the words (collected from this post) by my friend Liz Lamoreux

If you are still thinking about a word for yourself in 2018 I definitely recommend closing your eyes and listening to this list of words. There's magic in hearing them read aloud. 

Listen to Liz read a list of the words here.

There's also still time to jump into my One Little Word® workshop for 2018. Get all the details about this year-long class to help you make your word visible here

Also, the word I'm holding in the image above is from my friend Colleen Attara. She's been supporting this project for a number of years and she is simply a light in the world. I continue to love sharing her work with this community. If you are interested in something in my handwriting we do also offer custom acrylic words here, as well as a new necklace offering here

    After three very stress filled years my word in 2018 is RELAX (make or become less tense or anxious). The perfect fit for me. This year I am just letting it all go :)

    Nurture...
    At work, with precious kiddos. At home, where I care for my elderly mom and disabled husband. Just beyond home, with my son and his fiancée. Wherever I go, because everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

    I had heard of OLW, but I’m excited to find your guided program to help me focus on my word with prompts throughout the year, so I’m finally joining the OLW community.

    There is something soothing about listening to all the words being read aloud.

    My word is Gratitude ... I.have been developing a relationship with this word and this practice over the past ix months or so, then I saw a small piece about OLW on Rene Browns FB page and immediately was drawn to join the w--s.. I am really glad I have joined even though I am struggling with how to use the prompts and how to work with what is already as available to me. I am one of the people who when. I start a new project I purchase everything so I will make it perfectly.. so this time I have been struggling with not buying folders and just using downloads that I can print. Just today I completed most of the Jan suggestions and I completed my vision board. I am looking forward to seeing how I might progress through the year with this process. Thank you for coming up with such a wonderful concept and w--s. Regards Nora
