I started toying with my word for the year a few weeks ago after seeing more than one reference to it by both Christine Kane and Jon Gordon. There are many areas I want to work on, the top three are:
1. I am going to 'refine' my photography skills (4)
2. I am going to 'refine' my dress style and some of the areas of my home and how I personally operate
within those areas. (6)
3. I am going to 'refine' my behaviour and language (2/7)
Have you chosen or thought about your word for 2013 - if you need some guidance, follow the two links above to Christine Kane and Jon Gordon where the philosophy behind the 'word' is explained.
Let me know if you choose a word and what your word for the year is going to be.
I love your thought word. What a wonderful idea. I'm going to have to give some thought to mine. I love that you are committing to refine your language and behavior. I need to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking my 'thought word' should be GRACE. I think I need to think and behave with more grace to others. Not that I don't; but I don't think I ALWAYS do.....in others, i'm not as forgiving to those who hurt or upset me as I could be. I'm not sure if that is my word yet; I need to look up all the meanings like you did and ruminate on it.
This is a wonderful idea...so much nicer that making New Year's resolutions.
I have also given my word a lot of thought and decided on "Mindful".
ReplyDeleteLove your word and the decisions surrounding it.
I haven't had time to think about a word for 2013. Usually my word chooses me....so we will see. I love the word you chose...a lot to live up to.
