Happy New Year! As the year was winding down, I read a lot of posts about resolutions and goals for 2012. I saw a couple about picking a theme for the year instead of the usual goal setting. Not just a theme but a one word theme that will define the year. This idea really jumped out at me, and they always say follow your gut.
I loved this idea and gave thought to what my theme word should be. There are no real rules for the word. It can be a noun, verb, adjective, or whatever you choose. I started a list of possibilities like Push, Strive, Strength. Nothing really jumped out at me or excited me… until this week.
Maybe it’s the non-processed food mental clarity that I’ve got going. Maybe it’s the sleeping like a log that’s helped, but I came up with my theme word. Empower! EMPOWER. It just basically shouted at me and once the thought was there I knew it was my theme for the year.

In case you missed the Quest this week, here’s my week in review:
- I had some interesting revelations on my eating habits
- I finally got serious with foam rolling and using a pressure point ball
- I found several awesome uses for coconut oil besides eating it
- I figured out ways to save on the food bill while still eating healthy
- I made some really yummy balsamic tomatoes to go with my steak
- I got some new spices, created a new veggie recipe, and found a new love in bacon wrapped shrimp
I can’t wait to lay out my empower plan for the year! Now I just need a superhero outfit with a big E on it… in purple please… with a matching cape.
What is your theme for 2012? What word jumps out at you?
