It took a while before I could finally decide on what my one word was going to be this year. Finally, I have decided on a word that will encapsulate everything that I am planning to do and achieve this year. I chose the word…
My one word 2013 is LEARN
Why LEARN?
After a conversation with a friend last night, I realized that one of the things that I want to focus on this year is learning, creating avenues for learning and sharing my learnings with others (over probably a cup of coffee… thus the coffee stain in the poster). I realized that a lot of my goals and plans for this year and even my life list have a lot to do with learning.
LEARNING in the Family…
I’m about to be a mom and I know that I can’t be a perfect parent or wife, but this year, I will try my darn best to learn and strive to be a good parent and a loving wife. I’ll strive to learn as much as I can by attending workshops, reading books and even trying out things that I have never done before (make an effort to learn cooking…). I will also try to learn more about breastfeeding through others and through personal experience. I will be patient and really try to breastfeed until Zeeka is 2 years old.
LEARNING with Friends…
I will actively pursue creating workshops for ManilaWorkshops.com (even those that I will offer for free: I was thinking of a free Photoshop workshop) so as to help friends and acquaintances learn with me. I want to bring inspire other people to continue learning.
LEARNING more about my Faith…
I will learn to be more spiritual. I have started reading passages from the Bible again and I have started praying every evening, too, with my husband. I promise to learn more about the origins of the Catholic religion, which my hubby, is so fascinated by.
LEARNING from mistakes…
I will go for things that I have not done before. I want to seek new challenges and learn from these. If I fail, I want to learn and share what I have gone through with others.
By the end of 2013, I know that if I stick true to living my word, which is to LEARN, I know that I will have had a fruitful, productive and well-lived year.
What’s your one word for this year? BTW, i’m linking this to One Word 365 Community.

Mommy Ginger
So so love it! 🙂 And it’s so so YOU! 😀
You’re already a mom now, dear, and so far, I know you’re doing a really great job of it! 🙂
I so love the learning about your faith part. One of the things I hope to do more of this year too, especially since Pope Benedict XVI has declared this the Year of Faith! 🙂

God bless,

Thank you so much, Tina! You’re right! It was tough looking for the one word. It took me one whole day to really come up with a word that would best fit my 2013. Thanks for the message! 🙂
Love lots,
Ginger
Epiphany is my word for 2013. I’m excited to see God revealed in new ways in the coming year.
