One Word April Installment— Intentional Pastimes
It’s that time again as I join the One Word Community monthly link-up hosted by Lisa @ Lisa Notes. Won’t you join me there to read what others and myself are learning or crafting with our one-word 2022?
Lisa provides many activities and prompts for us to explore our words more. Here are a few of those.
Write your word in another language
Greek: εκ προθέσεως
Slovak: zámerný
Russian: намеренный [namerennyy]
Swahili: kukusudia
Madagascar (Malagasy): iniana
Hebrew: מְכוּוָן
Icelandic: Vísvitandi
Who in the Bible represents your word
God: He is Intentional at its core.
Ways you can Live your life: Intentional
— Stop comparing myself to others
— Learn from others
— Show myself grace and compassion
— Declutter my belongings and intrusive thoughts
— Surround myself with positive people and strengthen essential relationships
— Get organized in my home, time and money management
— Listen to my gut (it’s probably the Holy Spirit whispering to me)
— Set boundaries where needed
— Pay attention to my health and self-care
Find a quote with your word
“Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others’ choices make us.”
― Richie Norton

You did a lot of fun things with your word this month, Paula! This is my favorite, “Who in the Bible represents your word? God: He is Intentional at its core.” Amen!

I love what you did here! Also, I note with excitement that your word intertwines with mine. “— Declutter my belongings and intrusive thoughts” This goes well with my word, “Purge.” May we both be successful!
