December Reflections - 2016

December 31 - My Word for 2017

For the past three years I've chosen a "word" to help guide me through the year.  That's when I started doing the vision cards (thanks Jamie Ridler) as well.  The first year it was "Change."  The next year it was "Courage."  This year was "Focus."

I wrote about these cards here and wore the word in a locket around my neck most days:

Vision Cards

The locket with my word

For this year, I have made these cards:

and have chosen the word "Believe" as my guiding word for the year.  

I'm not a fan of Josh Groban but these words from the song "Believe" in the movie "The Polar Express" seem to fit what I am trying to embody this year.

Believe in what your heart is saying

Hear the melody that's playing

There's no time to waste

There's so much to celebrate

Believe in what you feel inside

And give your dreams the wings to fly

You have everything you need

If you just believe.

I'll write another message on a slip of paper and keep it in the locket to remind me to believe in myself and my goals.  

And so we've come to the end of another year.  Hope yours was a good one, and if not, that 2017 holds magic and wonder for you.  Happy New Year!
