The first day back after winter break. We had a 3-4 meeting= we have a professional development meeting after school. I am sure I wasn't looking forward to it, it was the first day back after winter break.
The discussion was talking about the pros and cons of new year’s resolutions and how people often don't follow through on them. At this meeting a book was presented. I am not sure of the exact book; it could be the name of this slice. The discussion circled around the idea of picking “one word” instead of a New Year's Resolution. I thought this could work. Then I kind of got excited about what I would pick... I had to choose wisely. This one word would have to fit for the entire rest of the year...it was only January 4th. I decided on my one word: INTENTIONAL That is it! That is my word. To my surprise I found this to be very meaningful. I think I like the idea of my “one word” instead of a resolution. I can apply my word to many aspects of my life instead of just one area.
What will be your “one word?”

I did one word for several years, but then stopped, because I never felt like I followed through with it. I love your bracelet, think it would be a great reminder. I envision you ten years down the road, with ten bracelets, each representing a year of growth and change. And I love that you are sharing this word with a friend. May you push each other to great intentionality!

I still have my one word card from August on my computer. The word is "CAN". I needed to remind myself - on the daily - that I could get through all these changes. I love saying to my students (and myself) that "we CAN do hard things!"

Great idea and concept but I must confess when I read the name of the post, I immediately thought of a one-word post (maybe with an image) and how useful that would be in a pinch.
