My Word of the Year for 2019

January 11, 2019

I have never had a word of the year. The past couple of years I have considered choosing a word but I could never decide on one that I felt would be representative of my life.  I kept asking myself, how can I choose just one word to focus on? How is that going to help me with my goals.

Embrace The Moment!

Then, I happened to stubble across the word, embrace. It jumped off the page that I was reading in a homeschooling magazine. That’s it! It’s perfect! One word for the year suddenly made sense!

I want to be able to embrace each moment with my family and I will take the opportunity to appreciate each day.  No matter the circumstance or situation, I want to embrace the struggles which in turn help us achieve our goals.

How I Will Use The Word in My Life

I want to focus on this word and reflect on this word each day in 2019.  I will use this word in my personal life, in our homeschool, on the ranch and in my business.  

Personally, I want to embrace each and every day and look at the positive, no matter how the day unfolds. I will remember to embrace and capture our daily life with my camera. 

When homeschooling, I will embrace each child’s learning abilities and teach them accordingly.

The weather plays such a huge role in the ranching industry, so we will need to embrace the weather, good or bad, and be the most efficient beef producers that we can be. 

With an exciting expansion of Epicure into the U.S.A., I will embrace this incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my business. 

One Word of the Year

One word for the year, my choice out of millions and millions of words. I can’t wait to see how this word helps me embrace life in 2019. I would love to hear what your work for 2019 is? Or why you haven’t chosen a word? Have you tried choosing one in the past?  Come on over to my free Facebook group to dive into a deeper discussion and share your thoughts.

We all make choices every day based on our opinions, interests, and based on what we have seen, heard and experienced. We must remember that when marketing our own farm products. There are lots of cattle operations producing cattle and beef for customers to choose from. You need to develop a relationship and a niche for your own brand/operation. Building this will then form relationships with customers that trust you, know what to expect from you and in turn want to support you.

A customer can be wowed by your cattle quickly with a photo and they can also be turned away quickly. We all look for something different in our cattle, so have a good quality photos can leave a large impact on your potential customers. Has your opinions ever been swayed based on a photograph of a potential herd sire or of a ranch management practise?
