2013 is just a few short days away. Another year almost gone. Many of us are reflecting on the good and bad of 2012, but are also looking forward and forming a plan to make our 2013 the best year ever. A few years ago, bloggers all over the art jewelry community started choosing a "word of the year"...one, all-encompassing word, instead of all the resolutions that tend to get forgotten after a month or two.
I thought it would be fun to ask my fellow AJE contributors about their word choices for 2013. Several of us had already thought about it...
Kristi likes balance and prioritize..."be able to figure out the important things and let the rest go!"
Jen's word is freedom...from fear, guilt, to create when and what she wants...that's a great choice!
Lesley chose balance...another great word! She wants to ensure everything gets the attention it deserves and still have flexibility for the unforeseen.
Karen mentioned exploration and fearless...I think those go hand in hand!
Joanne wants to remember to relax! She wants to "make time to enjoy the blessings in life and have fun creating..."
Linda expressed her desire for openness..."open to explore new skills and experiences".
Francesca wants to be intentional...she wants to develop positive discipline by setting measurable goals.
As for me, I changed my word every time I read someone else's answer! Last year, my word was de-clutter...my home, studio, life, thoughts...I can't say I was that successful. I believe it was my lack of focus. Eureka...focus! I have so many incomplete projects laying on my work table. 2013 is going to be the year for me to focus on what I have to do and maintain that focus until the task is complete, be it new jewelry projects or folding laundry!
So, how about you? Have you chosen a word for 2013? Let us know! No matter what your word, we here at Art Jewelry Elements wish you the very best 2013 you can possibly have!
