Drumroll please….it’s time for……my word of the year!! I realize I could have included this in my resolutions post but I haven’t in the past so why start now? I was looking back to see what words I had used in previous years, I didn’t do a word in 2017 (not really sure why??), and apparently I have a thing for “f” words (no, not that f word…), HA! My previous words have been free, fancy and focus. All good words and all helped me stay on track with whatever I wanted to accomplish that particular year but I think fancy may have been my favorite word.
I thought long and hard about my word for 2018 and in keeping with my “f” theme (why break from tradition??) I finally decided to go with…
…FIERCE!
I am officially declaring 2018 as my year of being fierce! Why fierce? Because I want to live 2018 to the fullest and give it everything I have and I think I need to be fierce in order to do that.
I want to be fierce in my everyday life and not give a damn about what I think that others think about me. I have lived my life for far too long worrying way too much about what I think other people think about me and I truly don’t care anymore. So I am going to do my best to just do me this year and not even think about that.
I want to be fierce in the blogging world and put all of these ideas I have floating around in my head on my blog and not even give it a second thought when I hit that “publish” button.
I want to be fierce enough to do things that scare me.
I want to be fierce and break the mold on what I think my limitations are.
I want to to fierce when I go to the gym and try an intimidating (to me) piece of equipment and give it my all!
I want be fierce enough to try new things and not be afraid to fail at them.
I want to be fierce in failure, because it’s going to happen.
I want to be fierce in getting out of my head. I have realized in writing this post that most of the things that “scare” me are all in my head. If only it were easy in getting out of my own head!
I want to be fierce enough to admit out loud when I am wrong about something.
I want to be fierce when I stand up for myself.
I want to be fierce all day ‘err day.
Fierce. Get used to it people because I’m going to be living my fierce every damn day.
What is your word for 2018??
Alli Smith says
What a great word for 2018! I believe you’ll nail it! My word for 2018 is Simplify. I’m cutting back in a lot of different areas of my life including doing things a tad different with my blog. For instance, I refuse to have 4 sponsored posts due on one day. I felt like I was way overworked in 2017 and I’m simplifying things in 2018.
Amber Myers says
I really like your word! I think it is fabulous to be fierce (yay another F word!) My word for 2018 is gratitude! I always try to be grateful for what I have.

Just don’t know how you can pick just one word for the entire year. The word fierce does mean you will be someone to deal with for 2018. Go forth and be fierce in all you do.
Nancy at Whispered Inspirations says
Oooh, I am digging your word. I may have to add it to my view for 2018. If you are fierce, you can do anything. Love this.
Lisa says
Fierce seems like a good word for the year. I’m not sure what my word is for the year. I guess I need to sit down and think about it.
Emily says
Ok, I love that you chose fierce! That word is so strong and I love what it means. I know I can improve my life by being more fierce. I have a daughter that is strong and so fierce and I adore that about her!
Ashley says
I like your word of the year. I was fierce last year, this year I want to be present!
Pam says
I still haven’t picked a word for the year yet. I love fierce though. What a great choice of word for 2018.
NYC Single Mom says
Fierce is a great word and so makes sense for you. I dont have word for 2018 but it might be a good exercise to think of one.
Maureen @Scoops of Joy says
What an awesome choice of word for 2018! Love the consistency of using the F words here hahaha I have to admit I use a lot of the other F word between my closest friends hahaha. Wishing you a Fantastic and Fabulous 2018!
Our Family World says
I like your choice. It seems to represent women empowerment. I like that. I don’t have a Word for the year yet, but I have a handful of words that I am contemplating on. Wishing you all the best and show them what Fierce is like!
Sandy N Vyjay says
I think fierce is a great word for the year. It signifies a lot of positive energy that can be harnessed for achieving your goals.
Chubskulit Rose says
Go girl, fierce is a great word to guide you though 2018. I think that it is important that we focus on what we think and now what others think about us. It’s your life and not theirs.
Bohemian Babushka says
Fierce can be fun, but too frazzling for Babushka. Wishing you a fantastic, fierce 2018 and may that open many possibilities for you. BB2U
Lori Vachon says
I love your word of the year, go get it Ricci! I’m trying hard in 2018 to not sweat the little stuff and enjoy life, so we’ll say RELAX!
Liz Cleland says
That is such a great word. This year I decided to pick a word for the year and it is “fearless”.
Louisa says
Love your word of declaration! Putting it out in the world will help you realize your declaration on days when you get second thoughts.
Christine says
Love this choice! That’s such a great word!
