Link Up Your One Word 2013 Intro Posts — I Can’t Wait Any Longer!

Okay. I said I’d wait until the end of January, but I cannot. The One Word posts are coming in and I want to read ALL of them and I am not a patient person when it comes to things I’m excited about.

So let’s do this now.

One Word 2013 Link-Up

If you’ve written a post introducing your One Word for 2013, link it up below! Share your word and a little about why you chose it (or why it chose you).

Link-up is now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated!

A few of the words I’ve seen so far this year

I’ve been collecting words from comments and emails, and I am genuinely moved by the range and the thought people have put into them. Without naming anyone specifically (some people shared privately), the words circling in our community this year include:

Peace
Present
Brave
Rest
Simplify
Open
Trust
Enough
Light
Surrender

There’s something about seeing all of these together that makes me want to cry, in the best way. If you’re still searching for the right word, you might find it helpful to browse this guide on how to choose a word of the year, which includes over 100 word ideas organised by theme. These are the things we’re longing for. These are the things we sense we need. These are honest words from people who are paying attention to their own lives.

I think that’s beautiful.

Link up below! I’ll read every single one. And if you’d like to keep checking in on your word throughout the year, the monthly One Word link-up in February will be a wonderful place to share how your word is already shaping your days.
