With a new year comes a renewed interest to improve, evaluate, and set goals.

I have had great success with one word, a quote, or statement to focus on for the year. Last year the word of choice to focus on in 2013 was FOCUS. You can read about that HERE. It really did help me to “focus” on this word to help me improve and accomplish what is most important. I am taking that word a bit further this year with my new word for 2014.

So…

here it is.

in writing.

My word for 2014!
