2016 Word of the Year | BOOM

I do this every year.  I marinate on a word that encompasses where I see my year going.  A word that resonates with me based on the goals I've set for myself and the year.

Last year my word was shine and the year before it was embrace.  I think putting a word out there into the universe as opposed to a list of things to-do gives me more freedom to do what I want with it; make it my own.  Do you have a word for 2016?

This year my word is

BOOM (verb)

to progress, grow, or flourish vigorously

This year is definitely going to be a BOOM in so many ways!  Not only are we growing our family with this little bundle due in August, but I have some huge goals for myself, my business, my family, you get the picture.  We are going to flourish...we are going to boom!

I want to help other women grow a business like I have.  I want to show them that they can contribute to the household, work from home, live their dream, make their own schedule, do the things they dream about doing!

I want to grow our family and build a unit that is so tight no one can get in unless we let them.  I want my children to grow up loving and leaning on one another.  I want the bond to be unbreakable.

I want my marriage to be the same way - to flourish.  I want my husband and I to be a team (even more than we already are) what one cannot handle, the other tackles.

You get the picture.
