AEzine Challenge & weekend update
Tags:Here was the challenge from the AEzine last week:
Did you get a chance to do this yet? It is a great little exercise for focusing yourself on your word. Another thing you may consider doing is looking up your word in a thesaurus (one of my favorite tools). Here are some words for peace I found in my thesaurus: tranquility, calm, restfulness, peace and quiet, peacefulness, quiet, quietness; privacy, solitude, composure, ease, contentment, contentedness, harmony, nonviolence
Still loving reading through all those comments on the initial positng of the one little word challenge.
Right now I am waiting for my flight out of Vancouver - on my way back home. Had a great time once again at Photo Express - seeing old friends again and meeting new ones. Thanks for such a nice weekend - and thanks again Michelle for the invitation.
I will be back up in Vancouver again in March for ARTistry. This is a very special, cool event with Donna Downey and Claudine Hellmuth. There are just a few seats left for this experience - should be a ton of fun and a bit more "artsy" than some of the other events.
On Wednesday I will be heading to Pennsylvania for Scrappin Away Vacations. Totally looking forward to the adventure and for a bit of time to do a bit of scrapbooking as well as teaching.
Crazy, busy life.
Happy Monday!

HUMBUG! that isn't my word, I just can't seem to find any quotes about mine.
My word is GREEN as in low-water toilet going into the bathroom remodel, bamboo flooring downstairs, reseal the sliding glass door, shop for locally produced foods, keep buying used clothes even though new isn't expensive compared to my income GREEN.
I should look for some more sites to search . . . .

I really love this quote for my word, Move.

I posted my word last week: POTENTIAL
I looked it up in some dictionaries, but haven't compiled my definition yet. I have also been doing an on~line search for info about it, too. I have cleared out a binder to use for the year as I work more on my word.
I think I have a lot to learn and implement about reaching my full potential. One thing I already learned as I did some of the preliminary research is that the more one expands their potential the more it grows, so that it may never really be possible to reach full potential. Pretty cool idea that it is impossible to ever reach the extent of one's full potential! Wow!
I am so loving your word challenge! Thanks! :D

are you going to be at CHA this year? I am so hoping that you will - and maybe even stop by Scrapbook Oasis for the Kristina Contes crop! It would be so wonderful to meet such an inspirational person. I think you are just great.

This is the first time I've ever done something like this, and I think I really needed it this year, so thank you, Ali, for your inspiration!
My word is happiness; something I am planning on finding again this year, and my layout is here:

Happy safe travels! I had a calendar I've been wanting to put together, so I made up a page each month with different quotes about my word, aware. The blog entry explaining the calendar is: http://www.peacefulbend.com/kT/?p=129
And the full calendar can be seen here:
