Last year I chose a word for myself, but this year our family decided to focus on a ”word” together.
Prosper:
- to cause to succeed;
- to succeed in an enterprise or activity;
- to achieve economic success;
- to become strong and flourishing;
- to cause to succeed or thrive
At first thought, “prosper” is primarily a financial word. While increasing our income and reducing our debt is one of our primary goals, we are looking to “prosper” in our family relationships, church responsibilities, faith, health, and educational goals as well.
Although it’s scary to put it in writing, chosing a theme for the year and making specific goals makes us more accountable so we sat down and wrote out some specific goals or activities for each category to help us achieve a year of prosperity.
Just a few things on our list:
- Pay off van
- Pay off medical bills
- Purchase 2nd car with cash
- More silly mommy, daily one-on-one play with each child
- More reading and less TV
- Ryan start piano lessons
- Emery learn to read
- Pam teach online digital scrapbooking classes
- Jared publish a book or article
I’m taking Ali’s One Little Word class. Excited to put more thought into this word of ours. Planning to make a vision board soon.
