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!

My word is DARING. To not be afraid to try new things. To not be what other people want or expect me to be. To stand up for what I want. To go after my dreams. To Do What I Love Everyday.
I am ready for big changes!

Hi Ali
I second the WOW! One of my favourite quotes about Peace is 'Be the Peace you want to see in the world'. I think this sums up a few things. My word is 'calm'. Calm before I speak, Calm before I lose the plot, Calm before I eat, think calm before I do anything really.

My word is ...
Simpli-FLY.
And no, that isnt a typo. Inspired by FlyLady (www.flylady.net) I'll be simplifying my life, decluttering my mind and my home and FLYing (FlyLady acronym for Finally Loving Yourself) - loving myself enough to believe in, value and nurture myself, "cos if Mama aint happy, aint nobody happy" (was that an original Oprah quote?).

Hi Ali
Just back from visiting family in the UK for Christmas and was inspired by this idea. Love PEACE great choice and I was tempted to choose that too but have decided that my word will be Rejoice. That should help me to keep on the bright side, keep my glass half full and see the positives in this chaotic life.
Love Julie
