Tuesday Slice: 2018 One Word

The book had been sitting on my nightstand for three days:

The plan was to re-read it sometime over the next few days and fill in the corresponding page in Leonie Dawson's "My Shining Year" workbook. 

I wasn't going to Slice over the holidays, but the email prompt this morning aligned with the task on my to-do list: write about your One Word for 2018.  Still in my comfy flannel pajamas, second cup of coffee in hand, I settled back against my bed pillows and quickly skimmed through Gordon's book.  I answered the prescribed three questions about needs and barriers, then centered myself to receive my word.  It came quickly; in fact, it's been screaming at me throughout much of 2017:

Enough.  It's a funny little word, if you look at it and say it several times, considering the odd spelling rules of the English language.  

I am enough. I have enough--stuff, willpower, strength, faith, experience--to get me started and through and above all the tasks and goals ahead.  "Enough" doesn't mean I'm settling for the status quo; it becomes a battle cry when my boundaries and dreams have been breached or threatened.  

I have not, however, had enough hot cocoa this winter break.  I'm off to make myself a cup of chocolate goodness, and dream about what my One Little Word holds in store for me this 2018.
