Kevin's little word for 2011

When choosing a word for the coming year, I naturally gravitated toward Spanish.  I find it to be a much more elegant language, and frequently its words seem to have more inclusive connotations than English. I also thought it fitting to choose a verb, thereby tying myself to an action.
It is the verb form of "forward," and can mean a number of things, including "to move (one's self) forward," "to progress," or "to move (something else) forward."  In a year full of anticipated changes, I hope to ensure that those changes are for the best.  I need to move myself forward into my career, help my wife move forward into her activities, and help our family move forward as we change location into Arizona.  I need to progress, improve myself, and seize the realm of possibilities that awaits us.
