Invite.

I don't if is just me...but the Autism Badge isn't showing up...

thanks my friend, I do need to invite my word back in. Peace.

It's a shame that we Canadians can't donate. I also chose peace for my word for the year (with 2 small girls I really need some peace sometimes!) and I got my husband to make the letters out of MDF for me and I painted them and hung them in my foyer, so now when anyone enters my home that is what they see! It's a great reminder! Also have you seen the cute metal peace magnet at Micheals? Anne

My word was "do," as in "just do it." I didn't put up a visual reminder for myself, but I have kept it in mind, and it has led me to complete some things that I otherwise might have talked myself out of trying--like turning in an entry for CK HOF. So thanks for the push!
PS: Feel GOOD about asking us to donate to Autism Speaks! That was money well spent for me. My sister-in-law has 2 boys with autism (yes--2!), and I pray that the funds will help not only your adorable son Simon, but my nephews, Paddy and Connor, and many many other children.

yeah, I needed a reminder about my word too. Have a good Monday!

hi Ali, thanks for the inspiration today. I needed a little jolt. March is such a beautiful month. spring is in the air and it is time to INVITE good things in to our lives. I am heading to the donation site right now....

I am inviting the sun into my home today! And i did that by buying some yellow daisies. Beautiful.
My word is INSPIRE
I am living it everyday!
And I will find a way (from Canada!) to donate to your badge!
sunshine to you today!

I think you will definately hit the 300 mark today! :)
My word for the year is "JOY". I really wanted it to be "courage", but joy kept showing up...so I'm listening to it, letting it in. Maybe my word is here for a reason I don't yet know. :)
And I will try to keep my word in front of me as I am home with my 2 sick kiddos with the stomach flu! :)

I wasn't reading your blog yet when you talked about our word for 2007, but I am making my goal to choose one by the end of the day.
I'm waiting for my calendar & a t-shirt to come in from your Cafe Press shop. Can't wait to look at that every day!

My word--and focus, daily, sinc Jan. 1 has been "breathe." Lately, it's been hard, w/ the demands of life, job, family...but if I don't breathe, than I can't give to those around me...thanks for the reminders.

hey ali :) i invited others from my blog to help out and donate ;)
thank you!

Excited about the email I just got from CK about your new Digital CD. Wow - it was a total surprise! So glad I can combine my new love for digital with one of my favorite designers! Lots of questions - hope more info is on its way. Big question from folks is whether or not these are just Quick Pages (just one layer) or actually include the actual paper, elements, etc. Awesome, Ali - awesome.

Ali, I read your blog all the time, and I've followed your trials and successes with Simon. You are an inspiration to many, and I wanted to let you know that I donated $10 today. I wish it could have been more, but with 3 teenagers - and one headed to college in the fall - our finances are very tight.
And thanks for the breath of fresh air this morning and a reminder to focus on our "word" for 2007. Mine is "replenish". I needed the reminder today!

I am helping you reach the 300 total today... My own son has Aspergers, so I think Autism Speaks is such a worthy cause...Hopefully this money will find something that will help both our sons in the future..

Hi Ali! Invitations sent...watching the counter on your badge fly...SO very COOL! Thank you for the INVITE reminder...exactly what I needed today. HUGS!

You're so close to 300!
Yes, I have kept my word (FLOW) close to me all this time and I'm totally living it. I even found a couple books on the concept of flow which I ordered. I'm curious to see how close the author's take on it is to mine. The word idea has been so great. Thank you for sharing it!

Thanks for the reminder of inviting our word back into our lives. My word is risk and while I was all about it for the first 2 months of the year, lately I have shyed away from it just because I took a huge risk on someone and it was painful. But nonetheless I need to learn and grow from that experience and invite risk back into my life. So thank you for the ever so timely reminder. Linda

You were at 300 when I donated... and by the time I was done you were at 303... Yahoo...

Hooray!
Over 300 and back on top! : )

Just donated :-) Should be 298 now!!
Good luck!!! My word is JOY.....thanks for reminding us.
