One of my favorite things about the end of the year is choosing my
word for the next year, or actually letting the word choose me (an idea I first read about in author Debbie Macomber's book, One Perfect Word).
This word becomes a sort of theme for the year, a quality that my Soul is helping me cultivate in all areas of my life, not just career. In the past, I've received words such as, "wisdom", "trust", and this year the word "acceptance". Sigh, did I resist that quality of acceptance, but finally, now as the end of 2017 is upon us, I feel I've finally, well, accepted "acceptance". I'm still learning, of course, but I feel much more
able to embrace Divine acceptance than I did back when 2017 began. I know that this will be a lesson I keep learning throughout my life.
Even so I admit that I was excited that this week I finally felt ready for my new word to show up. And as soon as I asked my new word came! In the past it's never come so easily. I am keeping it to myself for now, just in case my Soul decides to surprise me tomorrow
on New Year's Eve, with a different word.
I have to say I am quite thrilled with my new word. But truly every year that I've done this, every year I've trusted my Soul to chose the word for me, even when I first didn't "like" my word, my Soul has never steered me wrong. It's always been a quality that brings me countless blessings and so much learning and
understanding.
So, my dear, do you have the courage to ask your Soul what word is choosing you for 2018? Read More
