Happy New Year!
If you're looking for an alternative to resolutions this year, I suggest you check out the idea of One Little Word. I've been doing this for the last few years and I find it is much more impactful than a to-do list for the new year. Instead of focusing on what to do, it focuses on how I want to be in the world as I meet whatever the new year brings. For more information and background check out Ali Edward's blog.
My word for this year has been sneaking up on me over the last couple months. This morning I woke up knowing my word for 2012 is generous. I want to be generous with love, with gratitude, with listening, with art, with stories, with my family and with myself as I start a new chapter of life - motherhood. Last year my word was discover and I am still holding that word as I anticipate the arrival of our first child and everything my husband and I will discover together as we learn to be parents.
