My One Word for 2015

A New Year - a New "One Word".

To be honest I had forgotten what my 2014 word was. Turns out it was "Seek" I guess I should have known that -I do have reminders above the kitchen sink!

So I have begun to think about what 2015's one word focus will be. What can I expect in 2015? Kindergarten - how the hell did that happen? Maybe the beginning of house shopping? All else is a guessing game and completely in God's hands.

So my word.... Maybe the word needs to have some mystery and excitement to it.

How about - expect? Believe? Be Still?

All good. All a little too generic. A little too lofty. A little too convicting.

Sometime during the course of 2014, my love of pink elephants came to the front of my mind. I have a always had a thing for pink elephants. We go way back...

I posted a couple around the house to serve as visual reminders, to remind me to face the elephant in the room and "seek a better way" one bite at a time! They have helped and I will keep them!

As I considered my one word I thought of my pink elephants. It occurred to me maybe I need a visual word not an abstract character word.

A birthday gift came to my mind. And and just like that I had my idea, my visual, my "One Word."

 Honeybee.

or 

Honey, be!



Honeybee
Work hard
Produce something sweet



Now that's a good goal for the year. Not too heavy. Not too out of the realm of success.
