I love selecting a word for the year. I try to embrace my word and make it part of my world each day. When things get tough I try to bring myself back to my word of the year. Last year my word was SHINE. This year I selected another word and it's going to be a little more difficult for me to embrace it. That word is BALANCE.
Most times I get so caught up in work or caught up in daily life and I start to feel completely out of balance. This year I will try my best to be a more balanced person.
