Two years ago, at the suggestion of Ali Edwards, who has a great blog, books and classes, I began choosing a word for the year. It has been predominantly a private thing I have done for myself. I use the word to help me focus as I go about my daily life. Ali declares her word publicly. This year I decided to do the same thing. My word for 2010 is PEACE. As in a state of tranquility or quiet. As in freedom from disquieting thoughts or emotions. As in harmony in personal relations. But mostly as in inner contentment or serenity. Everyone can use a little peace in their lives.
Ali also suggests that you take one little action with your word to make it more present in your life. I have decided that I am going to pick a quote each week on peace to learn from and live by. This weeks quote is by Robert Fulghum:
“Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.”
Happy New Year - what is your word for the year?
