Last year, my sister-in-law told me about this creative project called one little word and this year I’ve decided that I’m going to take part in it with her.

Find out more here: One Little Word 2010 | Ali Edwards.

You choose a word that inspires you for the new year. A word that you would like to invite into your life as your new personal statement and goal for 2013.

I have chosen the word ‘finish’. As project girl, one of the things that I am very good at is ‘starting’ a million projects that excite me but then will run out of time or forget about them when I move onto the next exciting thing. This year, I’m going to work on not only starting exciting projects, but also ‘finishing’ them.

I have chosen to do it in a 12″x12″ format instead of US letter size as it is easier to get the right size folder and papers etc in NZ. I love the idea of this project because you can embrace the idea in so many different ways. Even if you don’t take part in Ali’s one little word, you can still use this idea to have a word in your life this year that you would like to aspire to everyday. It is a tool to motivate and self reflect.

My January prompt is ‘finish small ideas” with the goals of:

• Starting a blog
• Finish my bench seat that was purchased a few years ago

What would your word be? What would you invite into your life this year? How will you capture this? Photos? Journaling? Scrapbooking? Share your word or ideas you may have below, I would love to hear about it!

I will post my January page soon to try and inspire you to take part in this fun journey!
