Your mission: start noticing signs of your word in everyday life—and snap a photo of them along the way.
Where? Maybe your word will show up in:
people
ordinary objects
meaningful moments
places you visit
unexpected details
And include yourself in at least one photo as a reminder that YOU are also a symbol of your word this year!
The more attention we give our words, the more we see them in unexpected places.

At this event, we were encouraged to STAY near to God, especially in times of grief and sadness.During PreK graduation on May 22nd, my boss reminded us that most of the graduates had been with (STAYED with} us since they were babies. Now, 5-ish years later, we send them off into the world as Kindergarteners. These collar STAYs remind me of my husband of 30+ years. He loves a crisp dress shirt (light starch) and collars that STAY rigid.I have a new grandbaby on the way. We pray for a healthy mom and baby as they fight to STAY connected.A couple of weeks ago, some of my staff enjoyed a night of Axe Throwing. It had been a tough week, and I debated whether or not to attend. I opted to STAY positive and join in. Please ignore the tongue-in-cheek axe humor. I am the tall one near the middle.

How fun that we both found our words applicable to Pre-K graduations! 🙂 You saw Stay in so many great places. Love all the photos! Congrats on the new grandbaby too.
A beautiful reminder that the word “STAY” shows up in many parts of life—faith, family, friendships, and everyday moments. Choosing to stay close to God, stay present with loved ones, and stay positive in difficult times brings strength and meaning to each season of life.
