2010 Theme

As we approach 2010, many of us are thinking about New Year’s resolutions or goals. Four years ago I came across a jewel: A yearly theme. Since then, I’ve selected a theme for each year rather than a New Year’s resolution that I rarely accomplished. My four year themes have included: peace, joy, faith, and love. With these themes, I defined each of them and set goals around the themes. With this, I would then journal about my theme and goals to keep myself in check and ensure that I was living the theme for the year. It’s funny too, how I’d see my theme word, in a variety of places, and it would be a constant reminder for me to live my theme.

My girlfriends and I gather at the beginning of the year and share our theme. Together, we encourage one another to focus on our theme for the year and challenge one another to grow. Having a yearly theme has truly impacted my life and helped me make progress in areas where I had great opportunity. Off to figure out my theme for 2010! How about you?
