My 2015 Word of the Year
Have you ever heard of “Word of the Year?” It’s a neat practice designed to replace new year’s resolutions with one simple word to focus on for the year. I’ve chosen a word of the year since 2014, and it’s always neat to see how my word shows up in my life each year. In this blog post, I’m sharing the word I chose for 2015, and what I learned from it!
It was the end of 2014, and I was really excited to choose a new word for 2015! It had been a busy year, and I had already seen the fruit of choosing my first word to guide me for 365 days.
I began praying for a new word, and (as always happens for me), I began to notice one word kept showing up everywhere I went:
WORK.
To be honest, I was kinda nervous about it, and asked God, “Are you SURE?” and “Does is HAVE to be that word?” It didn’t sound very fun. 😬 And (just like last year) it was abundantly clear that “WORK” was my new word for 2015. And let me tell you:
It was a HARD-WORK kind of year.
I lettered this quote that seemed sum up my word pretty well.
I grew a baby and a business at the same time.
Alex worked 50 hours a week at his full-time job, and renovated our little house on nights and weekends.
Tasha joined our family in late spring!
Our babies grew like crazy. 😍
This hand-lettered quote also seems appropriate. 😂
Christmas 2015 was so much fun with both kids!
Yeah, 2015 was a hard year. Alex worked. I worked. We were Tired. But, it was good-hard kinda work. The kind that makes you fall into bed tired, but you know it’s going to be worth it in the end. (And it was!)
