one little word®

I love your newsletter - I find it very inspiring. My word for the year is BLISS.

I'm so excited that your newsletter is back! I finally figured out my word . . . be back on the 8th with it. :)

The first word that popped into my head was "LEARN". At first I protested -- after all, this is the first semester in six years that I haven't enrolled in any college classes. But then I realised that it fits me and where I'm at perfectly! Thanks, Ali!

What a great challenge..thank you for being so inspiring, so natural, such a great source of everythig! my word is FAITH....I will be back on the 8th to share my Journal!

Oh Ali, thanks for the inspiration. I will post my "one little word" on Monday. btw - is the AEzine published once a month, once a week, or whenever inspiration hits?
peace,
millicent

got my word, blogged about it: CONTENTMENT.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I am torn between two words - contentment and challenge....be content with who I am and what I am, but yet challenge myself to be more, for my husband, my children, my world...and myself.
Thanks for the inspiration you are, Ali! I love your art!

I was thinking of a word as I was reading your paragraph; and it was: PEACE, seriously. Then, I got to the end thinking you wouldnt post untill Monday and saw it was PEACE so, I have been thinking of my very own word, and I am thinking of JOY, DISCIPLINE, or EXPERIENCE/STEPPING OUT. Hmmm ... I have the whole weekend to pray about it ... I will let you know on Monday. LOVE IT!!! Can I use this at work, home, ...

My word is TIME, instead of complaining I don't have enough TIME, I'm going to make TIME!

my word for 2007 is HUMANITARIAN. I am excited and have started crocheting baby hats to send overseas. I can't wait to see what this year brings. I also quit smoking so wish me luck!

Hi Ali - I knew right away - CONTENT. I think I will do my very first page in my 2007 album about that word. And I will be CONTENT if that doesn't happen until well into the next few months - ha ha.... Thanks for the inspiration.

I LOVED the AEzine this month!!I have been trying to come up with my word all day ling and I think I came up with the one I want. My word is Free. Free to live, love and be. I need to remember this word throughout the year and focus on being just FREE.
(Can't wait to start the lo's!!)
Thanks Ali-You rock!!!

Love this ... and I'm freaking out about it, too. Just this morning - before reading AEzine - I was in my very own bathroom thinking about a word for the year. I've never done this before. Must be a crazy karma thing. Yes? Anyway, I have two, one for family and one for me.
The family word is RESPECT. Seems it is the word that will help us all focus on being better family members. That's the theory anyway. We'll see how it turns out. And for me ... growth ... or perhaps GROW to make it more action oriented.) Anyway ... thanks for all your inspiration and in this case validation ... a word of the year is a good thing.

My word for the year is "Do!". As in, less thinking, less talking, just DO something! So I got busy and tried to "do" a layout today for the first time in awhile, and I just can't get it right--looks like crap. Sigh. Tomorrow I will "do" it over, I guess, lol.

Ali~I haven't read through the comments to see what anyone else was using as "their" word as I didn't want them to persuade my decision one way or another so the first word that came to mind was CALM. I want to CALM everything in my life...that can be used toward organizing or CALMing the piles, time management or CALMing those moments of panic because something didn't get done in a timely manner, not over extending myself or CALMing my personal schedule. This word fits perfectly into my 2007 goal.
Thanks for your great inspiration!

I know my word right off without even thinking of it - TIME.
I didn't really set any New Year's resolutions this year but I want to be better at managing my time. I need to get more done and be more productive than I am. I need to stop wasting my time. So, that is my goal for the New Year.
And my chosen word (time) also revolves around other aspects of my life that are continually on my mind. I just posted about my countdown to school being out before this. JM is looking forward to finally figuring out where we are going to be going. I'm looking forward to all the new-ness that this (hopeful) move will bring about. So it all boils down to time.
And I look back on things and I realize how far I've come. I'm so much happier now than I've ever been. I'm a much better teacher now. I'm a better scrapbooker now. I'm a better wife now. JM and I have come so far together too. And thus, all of this took time to get to this point too.
So, I'm excited to see what all is going to happen next and see what I think this TIME next year! :)

my word is E N J O Y! but it should also be balance .... it was a hard choice between the two!

Hi Ali! Love this concept and fits so well with the affirmations I have started doing. My word is PROSPERITY. I wrote a little bit about it on my blog: www.paige.typepad.com
Thanks for all the inspiration that you supply and Happy New Year!

Hi Ali,
This has really inspired me. I feel like I need to tell all my friends about this concept, because it really is so motivating to find the one word that you want to focus on for the year I already feel like I am gonna get so much more done because of focusing on this - anyways thank you.
My word is Free - FREE from debt - FREE to find my own style and to create my way - FREE to play more with my kids - FREEdom from all the little things in life that can get you down. I am excited to have a new focus. It's a new year and I am so excited to have given myself permission to be FREE. I'm feelin in the mood to FREE myself from all this clutter we've built up this year. I told you I was motivated.:)
Thanks Again

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Ali.
I will be choosing the word Organize. My life is one big pile in every since of the word. My house, my car, how I do things. my scrapbook room. Everything. I am so looking forward to this project. It is wonderful. Thank you Ali
