My Word for 2016

Having discovered Susannah Conway and her web site: http://www.susannahconway.com/, I am happy to say my journey for this next year looks very promising.

After five emails from Susannah, meditating, visioning, reading and studying I was prompted to come up with five words that inspired me.  They were shine, family, beautiful, radiant, and happy.  I narrowed those down to shine and radiant.  On the third day, I woke up to find the creek a half a mile from my house had overflowed into the cow pasture behind my house.  And for a brief few minutes the sun was shining.  The reflection of the sun was amazing and so I snapped a quick picture.  The first word that came to mind was radiant.  The next day my cell phone broke and I lost all my pictures.  I will get them back one day but in the meantime  I have to start all over signing in and learning to use the phone; gone with the old and in with the new.  Then I opened my morning devotional from Daily Word and read these words: “Each day I release old ways of being and give life to a renewed radiant self.”

I have found my word for 2016!  It is RADIANT.  Supporting words include– glowing, love, confident, happiness, luminous, brilliant, and bright.  This is my opportunity to grow spiritually, to become enlightened, and to use the wisdom gained to be the light of the world as I am called to be. I plan to make myself a RADIANT Light.

I know it’s not 2016 yet, but the radiant light that shines in my life is calling me.  Today, when I thought of what it meant to make myself a Light, I thought of the laughter and joy of sharing a game of Uno with my granddaughter laughing as the machine spitted out card after card until we used up the whole deck before one of us won the game.  Or the radiant reflection of sunlight in my friend’s tears as she shared her concern for her grandson’s health. Being present to brighten someone’s day; that’s what I felt this day.
