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!

It took me a few days to think about this one. I decided on: Moderation. Why? Well, similar to your situation, my DH is running for Vice District Governor of our organization. We're campaigning right now so I need to remember everthing needs to be done in moderation, especially eating (!). I have to stop being obsessed (although it's good to a point) about things that I think should be done, so this is a good reminder for me.
Thanks for making us all stop and think about our word!

I am late joining this challenge, but very excited. I was thinking how could I pick just 1 word.... later, in the shower, a word popped in my mind and just like you said it didn't make sense at first.
My word is NEED!
example "do I need to eat this?" (getting healthy)- "what do my boys need from me today?" (taking care of my kids) - "do I need this item?" (organizing my home) - "does my husband need anything?" (being a good wife). The word helps me asks important questions about all the important things in my life that I want to focus on this year. Thanks for the challenge....

My word is BLISS. I have a new baby who got off to a rather rocky start, as well as all of the other "mom" stuff {read 'chaos'} going on, so this year I am going to focus on finding BLISS in every day, fleeting moments.
