Did you choose one? A word? At the beginning of the year, so many people were talking about choosing a word for the year. I remember in 2014 I chose the word BOLD. Believe it or not, I can be a bit of an introvert. Being bold wasn’t an easy thing for me. That’s why I chose that word. It helped me to force myself to do things and take chances that I usually wouldn’t. Stepping out of that comfort zone worked for me in 2014. I don’t remember if I chose a word for this year. If I did, I certainly don’t remember. That’s probably not a good sign. lol
I’ve become a big fan of wearing my words lately. Whether it be on a tee shirt, around my neck, or on my wrist – I am a fan of sharing a bit of what I’m about with what I wear. That totally explains the graphic tees spilling out of my dresser.
Recently, I was scrolling through a shopping site and came across these bracelets. They said everything I strive to do and represent. I had to have them. I guess you could say they are my “words”.
These bracelets are my constant reminders to do more. Be more. And live more.
Empower – My goal is to empower myself and other moms to not only reach for the stars but grab a few too.
Hustle – To make my own dreams reality, I have to hustle. Whether it be this business, my dreams for my family or anything else I’ve set my sights on. One big thing that helps to make it all happen is hustle.
Be Bold – Carrying over from last year’s word : bold. When you make those out of this world, girl are you crazy goals… you have to decide to be bold to see ANY of those things come true.
What’s one word or three that speak to what you’re about or working toward?

I love those bracelets and I think it’s awesome that you are focusing on words and bringing them to life in your own actions.
Those bracelets are awesome! DO you mind sharing where you found them? I didn’t choose a word but I love your choice “bold” and your reasoning behind it!

Of course, Shannon. I found them on Zulily. There are similar bracelets at http://mantraband.com
I don’t select a word at the beginning of a year but I do seem to have certain words at different seasons in my life. I see them when I’m reading. Hear them in conversations and on social media. A word for this season: Calm. Good thoughts here! Thanks.

I’m with you, I don’t remember choosing a word to be mine for the year! I love that you have your word literally on your wrist to remind you of it daily!

I didn’t select a word… but I vowed to keep pushing (as an advocate for my babe). I think I need a bracelet that says that!

What a great way to reflect and empower yourself. Gosh, if I had to pick a word for myself it would be Believe. Lots of reasons, but that’s my power word for 2015!:)

These bracelets are awesome. My daughter’s birthday is coming up. She’ll love these bracelets.
I wasn’t aware that picking a word was a thing! You picked really good ones though!
Progress, Patience, Priorities. I need to make progress in my life, while remembering my priorities and being willing to be patient to make things happen.

I have not hear of this until now. I like the idea of it and I love your word Bold. I need to think about what word I would pick.
I love this! I did not choose a word, but I don’t think it’s too late for me. These bracelets are a great way to focus on that word, and they look great too!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle recently posted…Top #Beauty Picks
It’s definitely nice to have visual reminders keeping you on track. I’ll have to think about what words would mean the most to me.

I love those bracelets. I think it is awesome that you can find words that mean something to you and keep them close to you.
Valerie recently posted…REVIEW – Noodle & Boo Skin Care
Those bracelets are gorgeous I’ve been all about bracelets lately and I’m loving these. Would be a great gift idea too!
I am also a bit of an introvert which people are surprised to hear. Glad I am not alone there. My favorite words these days are motivated, dream and grind.

I love those bracelets. They say so much with such a simple design.
I really like those bracelets… I would have a hard time choosing three words though. Would really have to do some thinking. I would have to have ones that I could explain when someone asks why I picked them lol
I didn’t choose a word, but I’m always drawn to “Dream” “Wander” and “Believe”.
I like wander too… I like the whimsy of it.
Love the bracelets. My word was Grace.
I will give you one Camesha! Consistency is becoming one of my favorite words. Beautiful things come from consistency. Words are so powerful you are right and I just affirm consistency in my life!

I love words and so, every year, I pay attention to words that surface on the internet and in the news… For me, the one constant is GRATITUDE. I take that with me every where.
Words really are so important. For motivation, commitment, reflection. I love your bracelets so you can carry your focus with you!

I love your bracelet!! My word for the year is “Messy”. I am a perfectionist so I decided that this year I would get comfortable with surprises and whatever God has for me.
Laila (@FrontRowMama) recently posted…What My Dad Taught Me About Patience
This is such an interesting idea, I will have to put some thought into what word I would choose. Maybe I would choose the word “Focus” and wear that on my wrist. I need to focus on one project and see it through to the end.

Those are so pretty! My word for this year is Education. I want to learn as much as possible about my craft and be better every day!
I love those bracelets. I used to be an extorvert. I don’t know what happened. These last few years I’ve relapsed in my PTSD, depression and anxiety departments and with that I have become an extreme intro. I really need to break these binds and get back to me.
Chrystal | Nevermore Lane recently posted…Chasing Fairies in Northville, MI
Oh wow those bracelets are super cute~! And a great reminder to have during the day!
Cute bracelets! Having a visual reminder that you can wear daily is such a great idea. My words for 2015 were action and focus…I’ve got a few more months to work on it, lol.
Tiffani G recently posted…Happy Father’s Day…Mom?
Love this! I never thought about selecting a word to live by for an entire year, I like that. I think for me, my three words would be empower, purpose, and dream.

I love the idea of being bold. It can be scary trying something new or diving into unknown waters, but being bold pays off.
Crystal recently posted…Celebrating His Strength This Father’s Day
Those bracelets are cute, and provide a great message! I really like those three words as well! I’d like to be bold in everything that I do, especially with my faith, and my blog. I’d like to empower those who read it, and everyone who I come across in life. And I need to hustle and work hard to accomplish everything that I’d like to accomplish!

Those bracelets are gorgeous, and I love the idea of wearing your motivation!
I would love one that said Willpower on it. I am trying to eat healthier and i do not always have the willpower to make the best choices.
I love those bracelets. I didn’t choose a word at the beginning of the year, but if I can choose one now, it would be faith.
Doing what we do requires a lot of hustling. I love that word as inspiration to get going.
Penelope recently posted…My Myrtle Beach Family Vacation #Travel #Summer
I think my words for now, and forevermore, are… “Unyielding”, “Confident”, and “Forgiving”. I love your words, too!

Stacie recently posted…Nogii: Gluten Free Protein Snacks Review
i used to have bracelets like that and loved them. I would look down on them and they would keep me going. My words so far this year since I have been tested are strength and determination.

LOVE! LOVE! the bracelets. I need those in my life. I set a phrase for 2015 which is “ready to receive” and I’ve been prepping my biz to be ready for all that is coming my way. I love setting intentions for the year to keep me focus and centered on what I’m working towards.
I believe in having a vision, although I do not a have a word/words. I love your bracelets. Keeping your vision at arms reach.
Kim recently posted…My Paula’s Choice Skincare Regimen
I normally choose “love” or “joy,” but I think my word right now should be “fight.” I’m fighting against multiple myeloma, the symptoms of the treatments, the mental fog it brings as well as the fight against depression, unhappiness and anxiety. I’d like my words to be “peace” and “prosperity.” Then continue to live those words.
Those bracelets are really nice – probably one of the best I’ve seen with words on them. I really enjoyed this post. #blmgirl

I’m loving those cute reminders on your wrist. I would say my word for the year is ACTION. I need to talk less and do more. I’ve been working on it but not like I should.
Michellette “MimiCuteLips” Green recently posted…Happy Father’s Day Babe
Love these words and these bracelets! I didn’t necessarily pick a word, but my mantra is to “get uncomfortable”; My greatest successes come when I’m “bold” enough to step out of my comfort zone 🙂
Christine @MomsNCharge recently posted…4 Super Easy & Fun DIY Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Love the bracelets! Yes…BOLD is also my word. Easier said than done, isn’t it. But once you start getting into a groove, it gives you the confidence to keep moving forward.

These bracelets are really cute. I love them, indeed to get some with my words. I like to have a word or inspiring scripture or quotetk meditate on.
I love your bracelets! What a wonderful way to keep reminding your self what you are striving for! My word for the year is Focus. I’m doing a HORRIBLE job! LOL. But It helped me to go back and remember. Hopefully for the 2nd half of the year i can get FOCUSED!
LaShawn recently posted…Saturdays ( A Photography Project) Week 15
I chose words at the beginning of the year as well! I love these bracelets. My words were empower, hustle, prosper, and taste. I love your words… I love the Be Bold. I need to do more of that.

fearless is my word. I am working on overcoming all of my fears
CONSISTENCY! That is my word for 2015 and honestly I’m still mastering it! I miss learning the no matter what happens in my life, in my fqmily, with my children or whatever I still have to pressay on and be consistent with my own goals. It’s so easy for me to scratch my goals off of my Neverending to do list and tend to everyone else’s needs but if I continue to do that then I am no closer to meeting my goals. So, yes CONSISTENCY is my word!
These bracelets are so gorgeous! I really love the “be bold” one.
