my yearly moment of motivation

At the beginning of 2013 I decided to set a New Year's Resolution with a complicated plan of how I was going to move forward in my life...
I was feeling good and working hard at growing myself physically, mentally, and spiritually ...as well as moving forward with my fam to a new stage of life...

or so i thought

....then this happened and changed everything!



So I entered this year with a much more fearfully skeptical approach
....But...
with my husband's inspiration,
some facebook input (and "accountability," if you will),
and a lot of thought on where I want my focus to be for 2014,

 I chose my word for the year...

Each january my husband picks a word to be his theme for the year...
What would your word be for 2014?

  Erica Pearson Robinson While bacon is a good one, I think I'm gonna go with either "integrity" or "discipline"

  Erica Pearson Robinson And for those curious, paul is going with "consistency" which I think could possibly be my word, too

  Ed Kretser It's a gift. This year my New Years resolution is to wrap more food in bacon.

SIMPLIFY.

Ironically enough, "simplifying" was included on my detailed/over-complicated list from last year's plan.
...so let's try this again ...and start by "simplifying" to just a word instead of an outline of unattainable plans

...and let's just see where this goes....
