As 2012 comes to a close and 2013 gets ready to begin, it is that time of year when many choose a "resolution."
Of course I want to eat less, exercise more and feel better but personally, for me and for many I know, I prefer to choose a word to focus on for the year rather than a resolution. This year, my word is "Re-Purpose" for a few simple reasons.
1. Spiritually - Saddleback has launched the new edition of "Purpose Driven
Life" and starting in January, I am jumping in with both feet to work on what it is that I am here for..
Creatively - In 2013, I am using my stuff, my stash, whatever you want to call it. Whether it be paper, paint, markers, cardboard, chipboard, tags, file folders, thread, canvas, beads, buttons or whatever it may be, I am bound and determined to use what I have, to create others things as I define
so that I can continue to share, remind, inspire and encourage others creatively.

Hi Stephanie!
I came upon your blog through Pinterest! Then I saw you are doing the One Little Word, which I participate in also! Awesome! So I started reading why you chose your word and I am feeling the same way! Again, awesome! I am a mom of 3 grown children, youngest being 20. I am just really wanting to find myself. Married to the same wonderful man for 30 years. Very blessed beyond measure, but I feel like I need to rediscover myself and who Denise. I am always amazed at how God works and He has been working on me these past few months. I think my word may be "discover", not sure yet though! Thank you so much for your post, I look forward to following you. Your story is really great!

I love that you choose a word for the year. I have been doing that for years. My word for next year is HOPE. I've been admiring your work for a long time. You have been an inspiration and so helpful. Now following you. Hoping I'll be able to do one of your on-line classes this year.
Happy New year and have fun "Re-Purpose"ing :)
