One Word For 2013 – Focus
.
Last year, instead of making New Year’s resolutions, I picked a word that would encompass the spirit in which I would live the year. My word for 2012 was CREATIVE. I feel I did live within the spirit of that word during 2012. I pushed myself to create all year long, and I tried a variety of different things. As 2013 neared, I started to think about my word for the new year.
Here are some things that became clear to me as 2012 was winding down…
1. I love to paint. In particular, I love to paint my little girls. I want to continue painting. Today, that’s where I see my future as an artist.
2. I love to blog. It is a great source of joy to me, both in how it allows me to develop myself and how it allows me to communicate with others all around the world.
3. I would like to do better with my finances, health, home and relationships.
Looking at this list made my word for 2013 pop into my head…FOCUS. I need to focus.
A little note…Thank you to Melanie of Only a Breath. She created my one word button. If you’d like a button of your own, check out this post for the information Melanie needs from you. Need help choosing a word for 2013? Check out One Word 365.
This is a great idea. I will think about what my word would be!
Great idea
You definitely lived up to your 2012 word. In some ways, you would have needed Focus to do that.
What a great post! I think my one word is Swiftness/Speed!

Great word. Think my word would be Do. As I often intend to ‘do’ things but don’t.
That is the one word that applies to me, I am so scatty. One of my colleagues once said “why aren’t you blonde?” :)Except everyone of any hair colour is more focused than me!

Oh, sign me up to the scatty club!!! I’m really unfocused these days. I have to force myself to concentrate on the smallest thing, so your post is really timely.
I’d also like to go back to painting etc. so I’ve signed up for Illustration Friday. It’s a small way to begin, and might be fun!
BTW, I’ve added a linky type list to my blog post “How to be happy”. If you do a post, I’d love it if you go back and add the link!
We have the same word for 2013… blessings to you as you FOCUS on what is most important. Praying for you as you shut out distractions!
I think our word would be “Peace.” Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough of that.
Thank you for sharing with us at the One Word 2013 Blog Hop at Create With Joy! I LOVE your word choice, FOCUS – SO important! I also love your blog! Best of luck to you in the new year with your new intentions – I look forward to reading about your journey and seeing how your creativity expresses itself at Inspire Me Monday! 🙂
Happy New Year.
