My word for 2015 is DISCOVER. Here's some of the random thoughts about this word going through my head after a sleepless night of pondering it last night. I'm sure it will look different as the year plays out, but here's my starting point.
- Most importantly I want to discover, or better, REdiscover God. I want to be awed by the God of the universe - by His majesty, His greatness, His love. I don't want to take my relationship with Him for granted. I want to rediscover this amazing God!
- I want to discover new ways to connect with my growing girls. Morgan will be entering HS this year (do you know how hard it is to type those words?!) and Sarah is in MS -- I need to keep my eyes open for ways to stay connected to them while at the same time inspiring their independence. A fine balance to discover.
- Mike and I started this last month, but we want to continue to discover new restaurants in Downtown Springfield with a weekly lunch date now that we are both working downtown.
- I'd like to discover just how strong my body really is and push myself to better health, flexibility and strength. To discover that my body is stronger than I realize. (This may be the hardest!)
- I want to discover my position in my new job - it's a position that is being created and evolving and I know it will look a lot different by the end of this year than it looks now.
- Here's another REdiscover... I want to rediscover my love for writing. I have barely wrote anything, private or public this past year.
- I want to discover a new 'look' for me... to reinvent my wardrobe over the coming year. (Maybe this is the beginning of my mid-life crisis?! ha!) But seriously, do you know how many clothes in my drawers are ones I had 15 years ago?! It's time to discover something new.
- Discover new trails, maybe even a new place, new places to replenish my soul.

Ok, I seriously love the word you chose. Such a good (and fun!) one. I'm going to refrain from posting all of my advice, but I definitely connect with your thoughts on rediscovering writing. I've written so much less this year, too...it isn't that the passion isn't there, it's just that it's been a quieter season. And God still moves in the quiet...I've had to give myself permission to be ok with that. But I do look forward to reading your words when you're ready to write them! :)
Also...this is a somewhat new "addiction" and I've had to put myself on a budget, but jane.com has some really adorable clothes for awesome prices. I've been slowly redoing my wardrobe through that website, though I have vowed that I won't spend anything else for awhile now. But it's fun! :)
Sending you big hugs, my friend. Love you!
