Today I want to share with you my One Word for 2013. It's "SHOUT." This word defines me in many ways. I sometimes shout at my kids and have to apologize. But that's not what I'm aiming at with this word for 2013. I've said in my profile that my pen is my pulpit. With my writing, I share things from my heart. Some of those things are big and some are small. I want to use my writing for good. If I can make someone smile, or encourage someone who is down, or speak up for those who have no voices, then I'm doing what I set out to do. I want to give a "shout" about all things good and "shout" about things that need to change. So, this year I hope you hear me shout!

Yes, that photo is of me. I asked the kids for help. (I needed someone on the other end of the camera.) They thought I was being silly or crazy. :)
