Ep. 46: One Word can change your life

One word. That’s all it takes to change your life. But which word?

Instead of making resolutions to change everything in your life, just choose one word. It could be Hope, Faith, Savor, Bask, Dance or Be.

Find out how to choose one word to be your compass point, your North Star, your X on the target of life.

My friend, Debbie Schoonover, joins me to talk about how she chooses the right word and lives it for an entire year.

My Takeaways:

  • Choose a word that nurtures your soul, that doesn’t feel like a sledgehammer or wagging, nagging finger.

  • Save words. Collect the ones that speak to you all year long. Before the year ends, choose one word for the new year or let it choose you.

  • As “The Book Thief” said, “Words are life.” One word can bring you back to life.
