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!

Hi Ali, looking forward to being a part of this. My word is TIME, which I see I share with another as it's already on your list. I got Dr Scrapbook to write me out a 'prescraption' for more time on my LO, Lol.
You can see mine here:

Hi Ali!
Your challange came on the right moment. It made me think about my plans for this new year and what I want to find. Balance! That's the only thing I want to find this year in everything I'm going to do.
Also I always wanted to start an artjournal, but never had the time. Since I quit my job at the Dutch Scrapbook Magazine, I hope to have more time to scrap with my feelings and do what I want with my creativity. So that's why I combined your assignment with my first page in my artjournal. It's a whole new start form me, staying close to myself. Thanks sooooo much for this one!

Finding balance. I think the hardest thing to do this year, but it has to be found somewhere.

Hi Ali,
I was so happy to discover your challenge this week. It inspires me so much.
This year, I want to focus on my family. We lived hard times in 2006 with "divorce" in background of our lives. Happily, we were able to overcome our difficulties and to stay together, bounded by feelings like love, patience, respect and confidence.
I made a layout to remember that family is the most important thing in my life. You can see it here :

What an exciting day for Chris! Makes me think back to your "pride" blog entry. How proud you must be of this man, seeking good things, hoping to make a difference.
Here's what I did with my word:

Hi Ali!
My word is not on the list - though I didn't write a comment about it, I e-mailed you (using the link to the left on the blog). My word is REFLECTION.

Here is the word I chose ... TIME ... I want :
- To take time for my daughters, my husband and myself.
- To stop running after time.
- To benefit from time present. (not sure about the translation ...)
sweet kisses from France,

My word is peace too. I love that prayer - I've never heard it before, it fits in really well with my idea of peace :)
