a 2013 manifesto

Well, I thought that I would start this new year with a Manifesto of sorts.  I wanted to get all of my goal setting in one place, and wanted something that I could print out multiple times and stick in my planner, Project Life album, Bible, etc.  

One "one little word" for this year is Brave, so I have incorporated this into my manifesto.

Here we go:

I'm kind of in love with it :)

If you create a manifesto for yourself, I would LOVE to see it.

I hope to do monthly updates with my progress on these goals.  I miss all of the goal setting that I used to do each month. I need to get back to it. 

2013 is going to be a great year.

I can feel it.

one little word: 2013

**

Brave is my "one little word" for 2013.

For those of you who haven't heard of "one little word" be sure to read this.  Basically,  one little word is the word that you would like to sum up your new year. 

 Last year, my word was "peace" and it was a perfect word for 2012.  I really focused on finding Peace in my life amidst all of my anxiety fueled moments.  I loved reflecting on my word throughout the year and I can truly say that I my life is so much more peaceful :)

Last year, it took me forever to come up with my word but this year, I knew my word almost immediately.  Last years word, had a million meanings behind it and this year's word is plain and simple.

This year I want to be more brave in my decisions, in my actions, in my roles as a wife, mother, and teacher.  I want to bravely encounter life every single day, step out of my comfort zone and live life bravely.

I plan on doing a spread in my Project Life album, dedicated to my one little word again, like I did last year.
I think it's a good way to introduce the rest of the year and see how everything will eventually tie in with my one little word :)
Even Adam came up with his own "one little word" this year!!  He chose Free, I love his reasoning behind it too.  He's so inspiring to me :)

Dear 2013,
Bring it on.
Signed,
Janel

What's your one little word this year?
