New Year's Resolutions? Nah. 21-, 30- or 90-day goals? Probably, but a bit complex.

One touchstone to keep me focused and on track? Bring it on.

The Word for the Year. Mine is Spectacle.

I did not originate the Word for the Year idea and I don't have a structured approach to selecting one other than what I did: Thinking and journaling about the year ahead and letting the word bubble up from...wherever these things rise up from.

What will yours be?
