I've been thinking about my word for 2013. Did you have one? I've been choosing one for a few years now, doing so sets an intention and sort of keeps me on track, especially now that I don't work in a traditional setting.
Over the year, I've incorporated my word ease into my life/our lives in significant ways. I've embraced this time and role of stay at home mom wholeheartedly. I don't backpedal or make excuses any longer. I am blessed and lucky and thankful every day that I get to stay home.
I don't take any of it lightly or for granted and I strive to be a better house keeper and cook. Slowly, these things are coming together for me because it's not from a place of definition or even resentment. This is where I am now by choice, not the poor me/whoa's me that was the underlying tone for a bit too long.
I've also become more accepting of who I am. I've looked at and been confronted by the unsavory bits of myself and it's all part of it isn't it? There's always room for improvement, space to examine and perhaps even change the parts of myself that are outdated and no longer serve me well.
I don't conform to solitude when it pushes me outside my doors, and I've expanded the list of things I'm willing to do alone; a huge accomplishment for this girl who still has fears to conquer and demons to tame.
I chose words for years before, yet I never truly lived by them. I always wrote them down, only to forget about it. Reading your post inspired me to choose another words for 2014 and to find a way to truly incorporate it during the year. Intention setting is always a helpful thing. Thanks for sharing this! xo
