The Aha Lightbulb

I found these words in a book, cut them up and pulled one word out of a hat, assuming that whatever word I pulled would be THE word.

My one little word for 2013.

Guess what word I pulled?

But nap did not cause confetti to drop from the ceiling in my head.

I know naps improve mental acuity. But, nap? Really? I can’t wholeheartedly embrace nap.

So… I reflected.

And…

I pulled a card from a deck of quotes.

I love the quote that landed in my hands.

For a hundred reasons beyond pulling this card, I found my word. I selected the opposite of nap.

Please let me introduce you to SHINE – my One Little Word for 2013!

I am officially working on the light within this year!

What does that mean exactly?

I think the answers will unfold during 2013.

- – -

You be the sun,

I will be the moon.

Just let your light,

Come shining through.

And, when night comes,

Just like the moon,

I’ll shine the light

Right back at you.

—

Let Your Light Shine.

Matthew 5:16

Did you find your word for 2013?

I would love to hear!

Love your new word and as you already know I love this blog. I have never done a word of the year before, but my word for this year is going to be BELIEVE. Not sure where I will go with my word, but it will be fun to find out!
