I'm a big fan of the "My one word" movement that replaces New Year's Resolutions with a single word to live by for a whole year. (myoneword.org) Last year my word for the year was "connected". My priority and focus was forming connections with others and building relationships. It was so cool to see what God did with that. :-)<br /><br />Karen @ a house full of sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787916466155321686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-50818572715777017832012-09-25T04:11:18.678-07:002012-09-25T04:11:18.678-07:00When I saw an airfare special too good to pass up,...When I saw an airfare special too good to pass up, I almost went to the conference myself...as a lurker.
