[@CraftyStamper]

After attempting every year. I’m doing it, this was amazing. Loved hearing everyone’s process and where they want their word to take them.❤🎉🎉

[@JanDamelio]

Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. Enjoyed the insight, it is so helpful. Loved seeing Victoria Calvin on the Team, love her.

Seeing and hearing how in tune to yourselves you all are felt so empowering, I’ve “loosely” chosen a word a couple of times and my greenhouse has gotten bulldozed by great loss of my closest loved ones. It’s been a very long season for me. “Thriving does not mean striving”….wow! The entire conversation was so enthralling for me, it was as if I’d found exactly where I need to be. So exciting!! Your in depth discussion about how we can look at things through different lenses….mmhmm, I’m always considering the “bigger picture” and what’s best for everyone, how everyone will feel…except I seem to be (from where I am now) the only one that does! I’m excited to do some more discovering into this journey you’re all travelling together!! 😊

Hi!

[@shelleytaylor1778]

I am so glad I clicked play! I’ve been thinking about my word and kept flirting with thrive but hadn’t deeply explored it yet. It felt like too much of a reactions to struggles I cam through in 2023. When Liz started talking about it as I was making the bed I gasped. Thank you all for helping me sort through this with the plant analogy. Thrive is definitely my word for 2024 and now I have a better understanding of why. Happy 2024 to all of you!

[@KathyW5]

Super conversation that has made it even more exciting to begin again.

Oh Lord Ali! I love your word, but I lived it too literally! I think my favourite One Little Word was fearless. This year, I've been mulling my word and the front runner is a little tame, a little common but always important: Happy. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and all the best in 2024. XOXO

[@ionasueschlaupitz6869]

This would/will be my first year. I will watch and see if I actually find my OLW.

[@rattenstark]

My OLW for 2024 is the German word "brauchen". In English it would be two words: "use" and "need". I am really looking forward to a year, a journey with this word at my side.

[@mk.paper.creations]

I wanted to do OLW last year but didn’t, this year I am at the same point and I know g is going to be a year of change. I don’t know if I am ready for OLW, I don’t know if I will pull through and find time. But I think I will try!

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Come hang out with us! We are all about taking the first step + being imperfect with it all :).

[@aliciah71able]

How can I be apart? I love this and how yall talk through the word and the process of picking words and a deeper dive in to it

Hi! Workshop registration is here: www.aliedwards.com/shop/classes/one-little-word-2024

[@amandathomaslawson2746]

Last year I set 3 goals; Save money, get healthy and connect with distant relatives. I thought about why I wanted to achieve these goals, my reasoning was to start a family. Family became my word. 2023, I purchased a car by saving money, which a car was the main reason for saving money. I was able to get in contact with my aunts and uncles on my dad's side, I wanted this to get a sense of family. I wanted to be healthy enough to have a baby. I didn't quite reach the weight goal I wanted, but I found out I was expecting my first baby on Father's Day of 2023, that was exciting for my fiancee as well as for me. I am trying to figure out what I want for 2024 as a new mom. I want to start to get healthy again (I don't have a game plan) I want us to be able to build our house this spring. I know my fiancee wants to start a different job. Besides wanting to be healthy, I am trying to figure out what else I want for this year. I feel like the other two goals are our goals as a couple. I guess I'm trying to ask for things that I'm not considering, what are some questions that you ask yourselves to determine your goals for the new year? Has anyone used the reasoning for the goals as your one little word?

[@AliEdwardsDesignInc]

Sure! People often merge goals or intentions into the word they end up choosing. What it does for me is give me something specific to focus on - and the reminder that we can't do all the things all the time in all the years. One thing you could do was write/think about how you might want to feel in 2024...beyond "healthy" - what does that look like for you? Get a little more specific and that might bring out some other words. Also, you are in a unique season with a new-ish baby - enjoy that!

[@amandathomaslawson2746]

@@AliEdwardsDesignInc With the help of my partner, I decided on the word discipline. Because I have a lot of bad habits and tendencies that won't do me any good when our baby gets here. One of the things is getting out of bed at a reasonable time. And for whatever reason I don't have an explanation for, I feel like taking a shower or bath is too much work primarily a shower so I just don't and the same goes for my dental hygiene. I have a mild case of cerebral palsy and I know this is an excuse, but the weight of the electric toothbrushes are too much and having to actually scrub my teeth with a non-electric toothbrush makes my hands tired. I know these are excuses. The areas in our lives that my partner and I want to focus on, money and health as well as he wants me to focus on myself and I feel like that will become something important so I can be a good mom to our baby.
