One Little Word ~ Blog Hop ~ Beginnings

I am very excited to participate in the One Little Word blog hop for 2013.  The One little Word was created by Ali Edwards.   Each month, Ali provides us with a prompt, or an assignment that encourages a stronger connection to our OLW.

My intention for signing up for Ali’s class is to make a stronger commitment to my OLW, so that I can cultivate its positive energy into my life each and everyday.  

My word for 2013 is CHOOSE.

Although I may not always be able to control the situations or circumstances that occur in my world, I do have the power to CHOOSE how I react, how I feel, and how I want to show myself to others.  

My word holds an abundance of meaning for me.  When I see my word, or whisper my word, I tend to put an “I” before it. 

I believe words hold very strong vibrations. For years, I have been embellishing words on items I wear, hold, or carry with me each and every day.  This is a pendant I am wearing NOW.

I'll share more of my wearable art with you next week, so please come back to take a peek.

This month we are focusing on setting intentions and listing some of the actions we want to embrace for the rest of the year.  I love how my word offers so much flexibility and possibilities. For January, I "choose" new beginnings.  To let go of what was and welcome what will be. 

Here is a glimpse of the intention cards I made for 2013. 

I CHOOSE   New Beginnings
I CHOOSE  Self care
I CHOOSE  Joy
I CHOOSE  Stillness
I CHOOSE  Enoughness
I CHOOSE  Trust
I CHOOSE  to be Brave
I CHOOSE  Creativity
I CHOOSE  Awareness
I CHOOSE  to Let go
I CHOOSE  Gratitude
I CHOOSE  to Receive

Thanks so much for stopping by and allowing me to share the goodness of my OLW.  I will  share more during the weeks and months to come of how my word has impacted my life.  

I want to thank Lee of The Linar Studio for organizing this blog hop.  If you are intererested and would like to participate, you can sign up for a spot in Ali’s class.
