The first year I made a mouse pad.

As the year progressed, I put my word up on a chalkboard that hung on my office door, and I made a calendar with the word incorporated into every page.
Each year it has been something different that I've done. For simplify I had a red, wooden house figure with a willow tree that said simplify. We lived in a red house on Willow and it was perfect for the year. For achieve I have metal letters that spell out the word (found them on eBay that year). I've also made a Facebook cover photo most years. When I started I made a photo for the side of my feed, since Facebook didn't have cover photos then. The year that my word was STRONG, I plastered that word everywhere. I bought a shirt that says 'Sore Today, Strong Tomorrow'. I also got a bracelet that says the same. Then I found a 'Stronger than Yesterday' bracelet and bought that too. Last year I bought a desk plaque that says "FOCUS" off of Amazon. Then I bought an embracelets bracelet that says "focused on family".
I am looking for something to purchase with my word for this year. I am thinking of making some art and buying a custom necklace. I already have this great plaque that says "This month's choices are next month's results" and I think that plays well into consistency too!

Sherri I love those ideas and how you made your word yours by incorporating it physically into your daily life!
Interestingly I made a cell phone case for myself that says focus and has a camera that covers the apple logo. . . .maybe my word has picked me after all?
