Let's Talk

 Usually by this time of year I have a word picked for next year.
Do you pick a word each year?
Does it impact your life and guide you through the year?
Some years there are words that really impact me and some not so much.
I had two words this year: Courage and Kindness.
Kindness was a carry over from the year before,
but just wasn't ready to give it up.
With our world the way it is I just felt like I needed Courage.
And I guess just making it through some of the mud I did survive with Courage.
Many words have come my way for 2019, but not one yet has really
jumped out and grabbed me.
So far I have thought of Adventure, Awake, Aware, Alert,
all A words. And then Clarity also was added to the list just yesterday.
 I am still open to my word and what direction to go, but I know
when the time comes, the word will say this is the direction you must go.
I can see the direction I am headed.
Right now I am taking an online class called 21 days to Write for Change.
Maybe the word will come in my writing,
maybe in meditation,
or maybe it will just pop up randomly.
I am open to moving forward,
it is the way I find my way,
a resolution.
Open!


"There's an old saying, to sing like nobody can hear you,
dance like nobody can see you and
love like you've never been hurt."
~Dick Van Dyke

This quote was in the Sunday Parade in the newspaper
and I loved reading it.
It sings to my heart.
Originally it came from someone else. 
In a way through this post I am seeing my
way more clearly and I know by the end of the year
I will know which direction to go.
And I will sing, dance and love.

Join me in choosing a word for 2019.
What direction do you want to go and grow?
