One Little Word 2019 - Album Flip-Through

One Little Word 2019 - Album Flip-Through

HI! Happy December! I’m posting today to share my One Little Word Album for 2019, which I finished up today. Mainly because I don’t think I did a very good job at this year’s word and I’m ready to start on next year’s.

My word was balance, and while I did a lot of thinking about it, I didn’t do much acting on it.

If anyone is unfamiliar, One Little Word is the idea of choosing a word for the year, and living with the word, trying to bring it into your life, exploring what it means to you, etc. It’s a project that Ali Edwards has been doing for many years, and the program and prompts I followed in putting this album together are hers. As are a lot of the products.

Each month, Ali provides a prompt, so I’ll briefly give you a run down of each:

January - define the word, establish a reason why, and set intentions for the year

February - create a vision board for the word - I did a small one in my album, but many people do a large one to hang up on the wall

March - choose one thing to do every day of the month - I failed very badly at this

April - respond to four journaling prompts: I am…, I give myself permission to…, I am learning…, and I feel most alive…

May - capture your word in photographs

June - mid-year check-in/progress report

July - art project with words you need to hear right now

August - respond to the journaling prompt: the story I’m telling myself…

September - write a letter to yourself - mine’s hidden in a pocket

October - self-portrait with things about yourself that you’re thankful for - mine’s a foot photo, though

November - capture your word right now in photos

December - end of the year wrap-up/report

Here’s my album:

Products: Ali Edwards Designs, Studio Calico, Kelly Purkey Shop, Life Love Paper for Kelly Purkey Shop, Tim Holtz
