“My word is my bond”
~ in Shakespeare’s ‘Merchant of Venice’ – 1600.
“Word, Dude!“ (1970 flashback. Ha!)

For those who read last week’s post, and those who have known me for the past two+ decades, one of the things I ‘do’ is discover the Word that is to represent, as a mental talisman as it were, the direction of forward movement for me for the year-at-hand.
Since that post last week, (click on ‘Previous’ at the bottom of this page), and connecting with “peeps” who continue to connect with me in Coaching, (and a various friend or two), there has been a bouquet of Words that have sprung into bloom. Words for each of them to Know for their journey for the year ahead, and a Word for me to Know-with and -for each one of them.
The Word, and Words, include:
Trust
Success
Strength
Truth
Phoenix
Patience
Happenings
Trust (again)
Consistency
Strength (again)
Love
Comfortable
Assured
Pretty remarkable points of power, and Empowerment. A simple single Word that can anchor, re-Mind, encourage. No long sentence to remember (for each person already has their ‘definition’ of what this Word means to them personally). No mantra (although I personally enjoy a quick catchy mantra myself :). Simply ….. a Word.
To breathe in. Or out ~ as a situation or chain-of-thought demands.
One Word.
What’s your’s?
I’ll gladly add it to my bouquet of Knowing.
Namaste’
