What do you intend???

My One Little Word for 2013 was : INTENTION.

 

It's true what Ali Edwards said to me as her response to my question - your word doesn't leave, it becomes a part of your life, your being, you.

Your word doesn't arrive on January 1st and depart on December 31st. Spending a whole year with a word forms a close bond, a relationship, it ebbs and flows throughout your life and your year, and the years that follow. A friend that comes to stay and never leaves.

More about One Little Word can be found here on Ali's website.

 

I just received this in my inbox - I do subscribe so it's no surprise to see these little gems turn up once a week - I totally look forward to them -

 

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne

From The Secret Daily Teachings

There is no excuse not to give two minutes today to intend your tomorrow.

May the joy be with you,

I believe this is not referring to a TO DO list of chores, activities, appointments.

 

I believe it is referencing what is in your heart and how will you project that so that your tomorrow is in sync with you. Where you are at right now.

 

What do you intend to happen???

 

What will happen is the reflection of what lies within.

Imagine the possibilities if you consciously ponder your intentions, rather than wing it.

Just imagine!

 

 

One Little Word 2014

I have signed up for a second year of One Little Word with Ali Edwards.

 

2013 - Intention.

 

2014 - Stand.

 

Intention found me, I had originally chosen Imagine, each time I tried to complete the task set by Ali of a Dictionary definition (3 times) I landed on the page that Intention was on. After the 3rd attempt I finally 'got it' and looked in those pages for anything of significance.

And there was Intention.

 

Totally loved my journey with Intention. It was really big at times. It helped me enormously. With my OLW in my conscious awareness I achieved  some awesome stuff. Without it I made some epic blunders. They may not have been so epic had I stepped back from situations. Had I reminded myself of my OLW Intention and its meaning.

 

Above all I learnt a lot. I enjoyed the journey. I still have Intention close by.

 

Fast forward to 2014. No word. Nothing. For weeks I pondered, looked, tried to choose. Nothing sat right. Nothing seemed to just click. No word chose me.

Early January, I settled on a word that I thought would be good. That I would grow to love and appreciate. Nope. Stand had other ideas. And STAND stood out until I noticed it. I spoke the word STAND many times but did not realise. Sometimes just the word by itself, sometimes as part of other words, sometimes present tense, sometimes past. It was just there. Often.

 

I had to research the word before I felt at peace, comfortable, ready. And research I did.

I was on it. I was ALL IN. And then STAND came to stay.

 

I am as prepped as I can be given the journey of OLW in 2013 (I was a newbie then).

 

My OLW 2014 STAND has been right by my side. Already some big moments. Some challenging moments, a challenging whole day! and its only February!

 

I highly recommend participating in the journey called One Little Word with Ali Edwards. More info can be found on her blog www.aliedwards.com .
