one little word.

 

my word is

STRETCH

and i am excited.

last year

my word served me well

but it felt like work

a struggle

a conflict within me to

truly be balanced.

i am getting there

with that one,

i really am

and i am grateful

 

but this word...

oh the possibilites!

 

and my word has helper words this year as well.

four to be exact.

HONOUR, TRUST, BRAVE and EXPLORE

 

the question i asked myself

(thanks to this lovely lady)

was

 

If you lived and breathed

 your word every day, in 2013,

what would be different for you?

 

i did just that with

 BALANCE

last year,

i whispered it to myself daily.

it helped.

 

here is what i have so far..

we are only one half day in after all

 and i am busy hatching creative plans

 with a group of lovely ladies

and i am finding that to be a lovely distraction,

which is partly the point of creative plans.

 

i went to the dictionary and the thesauraus for some help.

 

{i would}

 

[ i will]

 

amplify, branch out, bridge,burst forth,

develop,draw out, expand,

fill, go, grow, lenghten, magnify, make, open,

overlap, reach, run, shoot up, span,

spread, spread out, spring up, unfold,

unroll and widen.

 

i am saying a brave YES to all of those,

especially the colourful ones!

 

and just as important,

 

(i will not)

compress and shrink

myself

any longer.
