From Ali Edward’s One Little Word:
Essentially the idea is to choose a word (or let it choose you) that has the potential to make an impact on your life.
Maybe you want to invite something or maybe you are hoping to subtract something. Maybe your word will be practical or hopeful or creative or fanciful. Maybe you need a big word, something in-your-face that will challenge you everyday. Maybe you need something smaller and quieter that will whisper gentle tidings as you make your way throughout the year.
Whatever word you end up with, make sure it is your word (not your sister’s, mom’s, partner’s, child’s, etc). You can share it publicly or keep it close to your heart.
Admittedly, I haven’t done this for about a year. I’d peek through my archives on here, but some got lost or deleted in the shuffle from switching web hosts once or twice. Holly Jacobs had pointed me in the direction of chosing a word instead of making a list of resolutions I know I won’t be able to keep. My friend Sunny aka Lyn Cash on the sidebar said something the other day about chosing goals instead of making resolutions and it got me to thinking about what I wanted to do.
The word change kept popping into my head. There are a lot of things I want to change. There are changes that I need to make and changes that have to occur for me to be happier and healthier. Change is my word for 2010 and this snippet from Susan Miller’s astrology zone cemented it.
“All in all, this month seems to bring a major turning point, when you reach a moment of truth and see your needs and wishes very clearly. You know what you need to do to make yourself happy – and suddenly a path is appearing before you that you can follow in months ahead. It’s time to reinvent yourself, dear Cancer, and you seem ready, willing, and able to do so. “ Susan Miller from Astrology Zone
