Focus

I have never tried adopting a word for the new year; as a matter of fact, I usually avoid making any resolutions at all.  For the past two years, I have gone with mottos (2011, 2012), and they have served me well.  Yet there is something that appeals to me about the simplicity of a guiding word; so this year, I'm going to give it a go.  The word I hope to channel in 2013 is FOCUS.  

I have felt so scattered lately, so focus feels almost necessary.  I want to focus on what I'm good at.  I want to focus on the people and things that are most important to me.  I want to focus on one thing at a time.  I want to focus on my own voice and intuition.  I want to focus on what makes me happy.  

And I want to focus on this blog.  Like many bloggers, I'm tempted to promise vast improvements overnight.  This is not a possibility for me at this time in my life, but I can promise you more focus.  More focus on the topics you care most about.  More focus on quality writing and photography.  And more focus on you, dear reader.  I hope you'll join me on the quest to hone in on my best and let go of the rest.  

Have you got a word, motto, or resolution this year?  I wish you the best of luck with it.  And a very Happy New Year!

Here's to 2013, I've got a good feeling about this one.     

P.S. - I started a new pinterest board with lots of inspiration for a great new year.  If you're a sucker for a great quote like me, I think you'll dig it.
