One Word for 2014

The last day of the year has a tendency to make most people think about how the last year went and more than that, puts a focus on the year ahead.  Lists are usually made, tons of blog posts about what we're going to change, maybe what we regret, what we're most grateful for, so on and so on.  I personally know I've done all of the above and more, only to find myself making the same list.  

So after some blog perusing and some talking with my other half I decided that I would pick one word that would encompass my whole list.  Also, encourage and remind me of the changes that I and we as a family want to see.  Now I didn't think of this one word idea on my own, Krystle a blogger that I follow and admire posted about her one word & I was immediately inspired.  You can check out her post here.  Also, there's a whole One Word movement that you can check out at One Word 365.

So what's my one word, right?  Well after looking over the things I want to change and accomplish this year and talking to J about what he sees for us and some things we're doing together I think the word PEACE is perfect in 2014!  

This really cool and totally free "1 Word"

I desire to experience more peace in all areas of my life.   More peace in our family life & in raising our very active boys, in our marriage and our relationships, in our finances, and in how I/we approach a healthier lifestyle. The more peace I have in my own life the more I'm able to share it with others.  There's love and freedom in walking in peace.  That's what I want for us as a family & individually.  It's going to good!  

So what's your One Word?  What word inspires and encourages you as this old year comes to a close? I hope this New Year you have peace and prosperity in all areas of your own life.   Be blessed & Happy New Year!
