I too have chosen a Word for the year since 2011…This current year’s Word is SHINE! And I think I have done exactly that… I am still deciding on a Word for 2024 but this year, I have also decided on doing a Theme Word for the Year….I have done this a few other times…There will be some big changes on the horizon in my life this coming new year…..becoming a grandparent to twins, getting more active in our church and volunteering to chair several events and taking on writing a newsletter for our HOA…So my Theme for 2024 is Balance….I will need to learn how to Balance all these new things that will be happening in my life…I will get back to you on my Word of the Year…
Hugs,
Deb

What a fun option that Deb used AI to come up with some words! I’ll have to chase down her blog and read more about it. (She may already be in my Feedly list…I’m behind on blog reading. We got covid last week and it’s slowed down everything.)

Yes, lingering before making a final choice is good advice we could apply toward many decisions actually! 🙂 Choosing our word as an “item of reflection” is a beautiful way to phrase it, Lynn.

You have me in such suspense, Lynn! I am looking forward to your reveal soon! I’m very thankful that we found each other too. 🙂 You’ve been such a blessing to me. Love you much.

I love how you catch your shimmering words, Jean. I’ve changed my word at the last minute a few times as well, with no regrets. I *think* I have my 2024 word–it’s been hanging around a few months already–so unless something happens in the next 2 weeks, I’ll be ready to go with it in January. I look forward to what you’ll choose next!

If it didn’t feel like a chore, I might like trying a different word every week, just to switch things up. That way it wouldn’t matter so much if a word didn’t work out because you wouldn’t have it very long anyway. lol. But it seems like a lot of work, and there’s something special to me about sitting with one word for a long time to get the most out of it. 🙂

Thanks for adding your link here, Lisa. Those are great tips! I look forward to what your new word will be for 2024!

One of my friends (Deb of Deb’s World) is also awesome at chosing WOTYs. This year she wrote down general guidelines of what she was hoping for in 2024. She then shared this with CHAT GPT and asked it to suggest potential WOTY’s for her. It’s response was truly brilliant. So this is another fun option!

And I like what Jean advised—linger a bit with one before making the final decision. I can make choosing a word a “check box” item instead of an item of reflection that ebbs and flows.
