When I started doing the one perfect word for the year in 2009 I had no idea it was being practiced already. I thought I was an original. Interesting my word in 2016 was trust. When things started happening in my life that began to test that trust word I had to slip back in an old word from 2009, HOPE. I do like your idea of different words for the season. My word this year is contentment and the more I study contentment I have come to realize it covers a broad spectrum of perfect words. Choosing a word for each season may be a way to branch out through contentment. New to your site and enjoying your posts. I am currently try to get back in to scrapbooking. I have not scrapbooked my words. That sounds intetesting.

I love the idea of picking a different word for each season. I currently use one word as a guidepost that allows the other right words to find me. I collect them over the year and reflect at the end.

I’ve done OLW for 5 years. My words were: decide, cultivate, enough, choose, and enjoy. I loved the project but last year finished only 8 of the 12 prompts. Time for a change. I read “The Desire Map” and did most of the workbook. It took some time and concentration. It’s not something you rush through in one or two sittings. It was a valuable exercise for me to really drill down and get to my Core Desires. My goal is to look at how I spend my life through the lens of those 3 Core Desires (Grow, Love/Connect, and Create/Inspire)

Love this idea….goes right along with 4 Refresh Sessions. Also, so true the 1st word may not be vital all year, but if it is there may be a need for another word. I”M definitely in. Starting 2017 with the word “Intentional” with scrapbooking and everything else in my life.

Hi Jennifer,
I decided last Fall to choose 3 words for 2017: practice…complete…peace. I didn’t subdivide during any phase of the year…but I suspect the first 3-4 months’ emphasis will be on establishing practices…

Cheers~

I really enjoy the seasonal reflections, so it makes complete sense to evaluate ‘your word’ at that time as well! Good thinking!
