New decade, new year, new days, new words!
One Little Word has a rich heritage and you can see my process in my 2019 choice here as well as my previous words.
- 2014 Transfer
- 2015 Focus
- 2016 Joyful
- 2017 Brave
- 2018 Curious
- 2019 Celebrate
My path to my 2020 word was lengthier than usual. Holidays. Celebrations. Family Events. Holiday Bowl. Travel. Celebrations. Joy. Travel Delays.
These words and this process were a part of my final review as I continued to search for graphics that would help depict my #OLW for 2020.
I tested out graphics on google docs. Which would make the best blog wallpaper?
I continually returned to . . .
The continuous cycle.
The “compactness” of the process.
Envision,
Execute,
Empower . . .
Yes, interrelated!
But, it all begins with Envision!
Without Envision, there is no goal, no target, no objective!
From Vocabulary.com, here’s the definition:
“Imagine a cause to be seen”
Envision!
What’s your #OLW?
How will it guide you in 2020?

Oooh, I love it! I can see so many connections! With your envisioning and my moxie who knows what the year will bring!?
Erika! We need to meet up on line some weekend with a holiday so we can surpass time changes and consider “envision and moxie” together!
Wonderful and so interesting.
Thanks. It’s fun to choose a word as a focus for the year!
Envision is such a great word! I may have to steal it next year. There is action toward a goal but also the dream. I look forward to seeing how this word plays out for you this year.
Margaret,
I agree. I love that it’s not JUST the dream but also can be the HOW to achieve the dream. (or at least that’s how I am thinking now!)
Good word. Something that invites dreaming, creating and innovating.
My word is “Thrive.”
Love “thrive” as it has many layers. I think words that invite us to think are all so powerful!
I can see how it would tough to say goodbye to celebrate. I felt the same way about savor and delight. But envision has so much possibility. Enjoy!
Ramona, oooh, savor . . . You know it’s really a good word when it lingers!
I blogged last week about my OLW – wonderful(l) Love envision. Hoping it is going to work in my favor this year – we can envision together!! I will be in touch soon!
Clare, love wonderful and that will work well for you this year! Think of all the wonderful knowledge that you have to begin this decade!!! ❤
There is immense beauty in envision. I can’t think of anything but hope and joy coming from envisioning and setting great goals for a fruitful future.
Betsy, Hopeful was another reason that envision won . . . The fact that it may be the best way to start a whole new decade!
Great word, Fran. It conveys a sense of moving on and growing and not being stagnant, taking action and not being passive. Looking forward to reading what you envision and where it leads you.
