Every December I pause to meditate and select three guiding words for the new year, while evaluating my three words for the past year.
My words for the new year all pertain
to photography, and the interests of the photographer. She is not primarily concerned with her own
needs. She is outward focused, looking
for beauty and a meaningful story to tell, bringing things into balance,
determining correct speed, and always searching for Light.
Frame prompts me to savor
moments and capture them in words or photos.
It is a reminder to blog regularly, keep in the creative song writing
mode, make intentional memories with the family (both special and daily,) and carefully say what I mean,
framing my words in love and earnestness.
It regards being intentional with my time, and organizing my day with borders
and margins, while not expecting to control everything within the frame. Tools: prayer, camera, blog, google calendar, parenting, homeschooling, and marriage resources
Scale emphasizes regular evaluation of the quantity and balance of things in my life. I want to be aware of my unhealthy appetites,
both for food, activity, and other indulgences, and bring them back to their
proper scale. I will be mindful that
exercise is the counterbalance to eating, and giving is the counterbalance to greed.
I will weigh the needs of each person in my family and other circles of
concern, and make adjustments as needed. Tools: prayer, scale, health club, menu planning, family meetings, good communication

Anyone interested in selecting three of your own words?
