I chose my first word of the year in 2013 – change. At the time, I had been reading a blog post about choosing a word of the year, rather than making resolutions. Change started out as me leaving a comment about how there were so many *things* I wanted to change, but it took root, and that was my word of the year. That moment was a new beginning for me.
