I took so long trying out words and attaching meanings to them that I don't think the end result of the word "Do" was perhaps as powerful as Susannah's experience with the process. I didn't exactly forget the word like I often forget New Years Resolutions, but I don't see evidence of it inspiring me to do more, to approach situations differently or to step out of my comfort zone in any way.
I had no intention of choosing another word for this year. Last year's process simply didn't seem to be something that stirred much within me, so I decided instead to write a list of intentions that were specific to a few areas of my life on which I'd like to focus.
But while I was writing the list and exploring my intentions for 2014, one word just kept coming up. Explore.

ReplyDeletei am feeling the same word this year. explore. this is the first year that both my husband and i have full time jobs with benefits and paid time off. so, we're taking full advantage of it and plan to explore all year. we already have 5 new destinations planned for this year and i can't help but hope there will be more!
