Be Brave

Last night I went to bed thinking about all the resolutions I need to make... And I wanted to pick my ONE WORD for 2015 that would change my life. I couldn't for the life of me think of just one word, or at least one word that felt right... There is a lot I want to do. It's a big year, our oldest will go off to college. I want to get back in shape. I want to reduce our debt, start and maintain an emergency fund. I want to travel and take family vacations. I want to build a business. I want to have healthier relationships. I want to be a light-everywhere that I go, I want to bring light to others. I want to give more, more time, more money... And my forever working on resolution, be more organized and focused in everything I do. But there wasn't just one word that could help me with all of that. I usually end up not completing resolutions. They are hard, they take time. They take courage. It means CHANGE. It means trying to change relationships, myself, my daily to-do lists...

Then, in the shower this morning this song, BRAVE, came on. I love this song. I love the video. And there it was. My word. The actions I am going to need to take in 2015 all require me being BRAVE. I need to have the courage to make the changes, to do the hard things instead of easily standing by and doing the same old stuff. If I want 2015 to be a great year, full of changes, then I need to BE BRAVE.

"Baby there's a way out of the cage where you live,

Baby one of these days you can let the light in, 

Show me, How Big Your Brave Is..."

I'm also working on a Goal/Dream Board, My Brave isn't just having resolutions, it's working towards my goals and dreams. I'm setting BIG goals and going after them this year, and it will require that I have courage. That I am BRAVE. My new motto...
