Recently a colleague and classmate wrote about choosing her OLW (one little word) to inspire her and I was inspired to search for my word. I decided on possibilities. I came to this word because I tend to be someone who thinks about doing but doesn't follow through. I'd rather be a better doer and thought the word possibilities was a way to see my ideas as possibilities that I WILL explore deeper than, "oh, that sounds good!"
For starters I've decided to run for the school board in my town. I've attended their meetings for the past two years and decided I should pursue being a part of the board. I have the petition and now I have to get my signatures before Monday! I haven't told people until today. I went to the board meeting Monday night and didn't take the opportunity to get signatures or admit to people what I was thinking -- I wasn't ready to commit. Today I decided I need to commit and follow through. Possibilities!
Not only will this allow me to contribute to the community (if I'm elected) but it will also fulfill a possibility I've talked about for years. Stay tuned. . .
