Words

I read in the latest issue of guideposts magazine about a habit of Debbie Macomber, popular novelist. Every year she chooses a work to be the focus of her devotions, her prayer life, her conversation with God. The word that 'came' to me was "words." There are a lot of blog opinions out there this time of year about evaluating for resolutions. One blog I follow suggested  this be the year of throwing caution to the winds and living life without the brake of fear. Do not stand in your own way, she said. She also suggested finding a word for the year. She suggested posting it where I could see it everyday. "Words" means writing to me. Writing poetry, and good letters. Writing those series of young adult books nattering in my head. Practicing the writing exercises in the writing books that load up my book shelf. Writing about Trekking Catholic. 2012 is the Year of WORDS.
