Week 2 prompt:   Your Word (of the Year).

I’ll admit I’ve never chosen a word of the year before 2013.  In the past, I thought it seemed like the trendy thing to do so I stayed clear of joining in.  I had a change of heart this year after reading this post by Stephenie Zamora.  Stephenie wrote about selecting a guiding word. Rather than declaring resolutions, she encouraged her readers to select a word that would be their guiding focus for the year.  I could do that! I like the idea of having a theme for the year, captured in a single word. My word for the year?

Intentional (Adjective) – Done on purpose; deliberate.  Synonyms – deliberate, willful, purposeful, intended.

Intentional is an active word, it packs a bit of a punch. I like that. I’ve been thinking about my time, things that are important to me, and what I hope to accomplish.  Rather than letting life just happen, I want to work more on living with purpose.  In this post on zenhabits, you’ll read some great thoughts on intentional living.  I’m bookmarking this post as a reminder throughout the year.  Let’s make each moment count!

Intentionally yours,

Cindy 🙂
