My One Word 2013

When I look back on the past year, I see a year filled with growth in all aspects of my life.  I started a new job in May, and that transition challenged me in so many ways.  I finally feel settled in this new cubicle with my colleagues and my manager.  My personal growth stemmed from self-reflection on this blog and with my monthly visits to my therapist. I made new friends both online and in real life.  I told my story of my postpartum depression and my postpartum anxiety to my extended family and my coworkers. I regained my confidence in myself and my abilities particularly in the creative realm.  I feel so blessed and so grateful for the many opportunities that I received last year. 

This year I want to continue on my journey of growth and discovery.  I chose the word “Dare”.  Webster defines the word “dare” as “to be sufficiently courageous to”, “to challenge to perform an action especially as a proof of courage”, and “to have the courage to contend against, venture, or try”.  Being a co-producer of the inauguaral Listen to Your Mother Show Milwaukee is a dream come true.  I am working with these two amazing women who are fantastic storytellers.  Each planning meeting is a master class in writing and creating.  Check out our site for updates -http://www.listentoyourmothershow.com/milwaukee/ I signed up for my first blogging conference ever.  I will be at BlogHer ’13 in July in Chicago.  I keep taking steps to push past my comfort zone and really live my life. I am getting a personal trainer to help me continue to push myself physically in my continued journey towards better physical fitness.  I am doing the Dirty Girl Mud Run again in August.  I am so excited about the possibilities and challenges that 2013 will bring.   I have not felt this energized and excited in several years.  What is your one word?  Please share with me.
