It is time to renew my One Word! Yes, January begins a whole new year, with more resolutions or vows to make. Check in with Sheila, at Book Journey, to sign up.
Last year’s One Word was Balance, and while I made a little progress—baby steps!—I have more work to do.
In the meantime, choosing a new One Word will not subtract from those ongoing efforts.
***
As you have probably guessed from the image at the top of this post, HOPE is my new ONE WORD. With so many unexpected changes in our lives, some I am struggling with, I am going to need all the HOPE that I can find.
I thought of the word as I was watching an interview between Oprah and Michelle Obama. Hope was the theme of the last eight years for the Obama administration…and since some of us will be challenged by the next year’s events, I want to draw upon that hope.

What are you choosing for your One Word…if you are selecting one? What is your story?

Oh I so miss Oprah, since she went to her own channel we don’t get it here and I’d so love some of those interviews. Great word to take you through 2017.

Thanks, Kathryn…I miss her show, too, so I try to catch any interviews she does on the channels I have. I am pleased with my word, too.

HOPE is an excellent word Laurel, for without it how can we have the motivation to move forward? I have chosen a word too this year and posted about it on my blog.
