one little word

I have done this for a few years now, but I don't think I have ever shared it on my blog.
I am talking about Ali Edward's one little word movement.
I love the idea of picking a word and having it guide you and inspire you throughout the year.

My word for this year is gentle.

I feel like I can be a bit severe at times. I feel like I should tone this down.
So, while reading books about the Amish last year the word gentle kept striking a chord with me. And that is why/how my word for 2013 was chosen.
I am enrolled in Ali's one little word class at Big Picture Classes.
I am excited about this class and how it will help me work with my word all year long.

Have you picked a word for this year?
