AEzine Challenge: one little word
Tags:From Issue Eleven of the AEzine: This week your challenge is to create something, anything, that celebrates your chosen word for 2007. Maybe a layout. Maybe a blog posting or a journal entry or a simple post-it note that you put somewhere you can see it each day. Make sure to journal about why you chose your word and what it means for you - the more you let yourself explore the more benefit you will receive in the end.
I am hoping I was able to jot all of your words down - the response has been phenomenal. Please let me know if I missed yours, of if you are adding a new one today I will catch it later on and add it onto the master list of amazing, wonderful, inspirational words.
Here you go:
Wow. I am seriously wowed by this list. By the creative and touching and tough words you chose. By your willingness to do something. So proud of each and every one of you.
As for me, I have my word (peace) up on my wall in my studio and a magnet on my fridge that reads:
My Mom also sent me a reminder of the Prayer of St. Francis today...it fits in with what I want for myself this year (and in my entire life):
I am so looking forward to seeing how you have been inspired to creatively document your word.
Happy Monday!

I also picked the word HOME. Our family had a crazy 2006 that took us away from our home a lot and i want to refocus on it. Home is where the heart is and to me it is the centre of family. My kids are at the halfway mark of their childhoods and i want to make sure that in the next 6-8 years before they head to college they have a clear sense of their home, not just in a physical form. I think this word will help me concentrate on all the things that are really important in my life right now. Great challenge. Thanks Ali.

This is my first time responding and I also chose ENJOY. I want to enjoy my children the age they are, enjoy the time with my husband even though it may not be enough, enjoy who I am as a scrapbooker and not compare and enjoy all I have in my life instead of complaining about the material things I think I am missing.
Thanks Ali for making me think about what word I want to represent my life.

I'm late, but my word is "discipline"...turning it into something positive, as a way to grow.

Ali - I'm checking in late (sick kiddo this weekend). My word for the year is Shine. I think this is my word for my entire life, not just this year, but especially this year. This is my year to shine!

Our members will love this, but I figured your explanation was waaaay better than mine. :) And it'll only give you a couple hundred more comments to read through-hehehehhe. Keep 'em coming!

My word was missed...it is Spontaneous. I want to drop what I'm doing and have fun with my kids and husband and stop being so uptight and analzye everything first. I'm missing out on the fun. I loved reading the list, a lot of great words there.

Hi Ali! Last week when you posted this I was all over it thinking and thinking about MY word! So I prayed about it, thought about it and talked about it and yesterday it hit me....RELAX!!! That is my word for 2007! It's perfec too b/c I picked up a wood decor thing (nt sure what's it's suppose to be) anyways at the $ store a long time ago and it says...RELAX! SO i'm going to alter it a bit today and put it where I can see it ever day! YOU ROCK!!!

Hey Ali,
Hope that you guys are loving every little part of today. I know that I am at the bottom of your list for today (I can thank a massive computer virus at work for that), but I hope you have time to get to my post. No layout yet, but it is coming! I loved the challenge and thanks for forcing us to be so introspective. http://www.watermelonrinddesigns.com/blog/?p=76

Mine was going to be 'blessed' but the more I thought about it I am changing it to 'bless' so that it will be used towards others.
