I’ve been thinking about choosing #Faith as My One Word for many years now.
This idea occurred to me when I was writing one of my books. My maternal grandmother had triplet sisters that, sadly, didn’t survive infancy. They were so tiny that they put them into bureau drawers to sleep instead of cribs (according to my memory of family lore, which may or may not be fully accurate).
Their names were Faith, Hope, and Charity.
I thought it would be great to honor them by choosing one (and maybe more in the future) of their names as My One Word to focus on for the year.
This is the year.
I didn’t get the engraved “faith” stone for this particular purpose; I already I had it. It’s flanked by an Amethyst and a Smoky Quartz that I love. I gave it a place of honor, a place where I will see it frequently throughout the day.
I will begin working with my new word by looking at one definition that I found online:
faith /fāTH/ noun
Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
I like it. 🙂

That’s intentional living at its best. My one word is transformation which is represented by the dragonfly. I was given a beautiful dragonfly pendant by friends and I will wear it intentionally
Helen, I love the idea of combining symbols with your word. This is a wonderful way to give it more weight as well as to keep it top of mind. Thanks for sharing your word with me.
Perhaps I will because my revelation this morning is that I have 5, more ? books in varying stages of completion; 4 audio programs either started or waiting to download and half finished photo projects all lurking over my head begging to be finished for the love of!
So… complete ( verb) is my one word! 🙏🏻
Jody, that’s fabulous! Complete! And as someone who has been in this same place I have a tip: CHOOSE ONE OF YOUR PROJECTS TO FINISH and then finish it. The simplicity of this tip belies its power. <3
