One Word Challenge from Rebirth of Lisa – Choose just one word, instead of making empty resolutions, to meditate upon and be driven towards for the entire year. Use this word as inspiration throughout the year to make yourself and the world better. You set the rules.
Choose your word and join the challenge. We will make monthly updates to share how each of us is making a difference in the world with our word. I will post a monthly prompt on the first Thursday of each month. Be sure to ping back to the monthly post…. I look forward to reading your words and seeing your updates!
The One Word Challenge idea originated from Vera Jones, Lisa’s friend on FB. Here’s the links to find out more.

My word choice is Hope, because I’m hoping for a lot of special things this year, so fingers crossed.
Hope is the spark of life. Share your flame.
