Last year I started a new idea… a theme of the year.
I first heard about the idea last year from fellow Canadian Mari Smith, I also read Christine Kane’s Word of the year. I definitely find this exercise uniquely personal and very directional.
The general idea is create a one-word theme that will focus your journey for the year. It will be the bases for all your decision making and your guiding light throughout the year.
Last year I my word was “Holistic“. I made choices that allowed me to focus on a more holistic healthy lifestyle. It has lead to some very dramatic business changes that will come in existence over the next few months.
I feel that I have created a solid foundation, set on a holistic lifestyle where I can follow my passions and I am in complete alignment with my soul’s purpose.
This allows me to set the theme for this year, which I choose to call “Level-Up“.
My intention is to take every area of my life and take it to the next level.
The last 3 months I have spent in a deep reflective and planning stage in both my personal and business. I am totally excited about the new direction, focus and plans for 2010. This year is going to be beyond amazing!
One of the “Level-Up” activities is to write more, to write more authentic, to write deeper, to write in alignment with my soul purpose. I look forward to sharing much over the next year.
I would love to hear what your theme will be… post your 2010 theme in the comments!
“Choose Passionately”
The Passion Diva – Lori Smith






My 2010 Theme is “Another First” which was sparked by Ali Brown’s post “Trying Something New.” Thank you, Lori, for the idea of formulating a yearly theme – a focus for the whole year. So far my Firsts include: cruising, kissing a stingray, snorkeling, losing 14 lbs., exercising 6 days a week, and co-presenting in San Jose, CA. I am committed to seeking out opportunties to try new things. And I’m loving the feeling of adventure and the thrill of accomplishment.

That is awesome! Mari Smith and Christine Kane also had great themes for this year. I couldn’t agree with you more, this year is a year of many new adventures.
