The words.

My word is RELEASE...last year it was embrace---embrace me, embrace imperfections, embrace what life has to offer---
this year, release- let it go---don't think so much- just be.
it will be a challenge but i am up for it.
thank you ali for your blog and for putting all these good vibes into the world.

hi Ali :)
my word is also HOPE. It's such a little word, and at the moment, I have such a little hope. You see, my darling husband of 20+ years was killed in an accident last May, and I am only now starting to see feel that there is a little bit of HOPE for me. It's a very hard road, but the little bit of hope in my heart is all I have to carry me through. This little bit of hope gives me strength each day, and I find the courage to face another day without him. I will cling to this small speck of hope, and cherish it, burture it, and trust it will grow and help me to be healed one day. I am ordering some large wooden letters and will decorate them and put on the kitchen window sill, to keep my hope right there in plain view.

What an amazing, inspiring list! Awesome stuff!

Love it!
I will add Light

WOW! Doesn't that list just blow you away?

Love to see all those words, all kinds of stuff is racing through my head now!! My word is DREAMS

I guess I didn't post mine before! I posted on my blog the day I saw yours...
Mine is Spontaneous... I am such a take charge control freak who likes organization & lists ... Should be an interesting year!

Great list! Ali, will you be coming out with a 2008 calendar similar to the 2007 one?!?

Wisdom. In 2008 I want to look for wise people to learn from, and soak up as much of it as I can. To do this I think I will need to stay in the present and take the time to hush, look, and listen.
Thanks for the word list, Ali. Happy New Year!!

WOW. Outstanding list. I'll be sure to check out this post NEXT year for inspiration on a new word. Thanks for consolidating and posting. I need to think of a good way to document putting my word, "modernize", into action.

Wow, that's alot of words! Look how many people you are inspiring to seek a better us. Amazing.

Scanning the list, I laughed out loud when I got to "triscadecaphobia." (I think it's supposed to be "triskaidekaphobia" - fear of the number 13.) Anyway, thanks for the laugh, whoever you are!

Wowzers! That is quite a list and a great list to live by. Thanks for putting it all together for us Ali.

My word for 2008 is productive

I see my word is already on the list, but I wanted to share it with you and why.
Finally got it...here is why...it may sound silly when you first read it and it took me a while until I read it somewhere and knew that would be my word.
So this year I am going to "SPARKLE" That's right....Sparkle. And not that I am going to walk around with body glitter ( although I do love glitter)....but I am going to be the best I can be....I am going to reach goals I set for myself...take better care of myself....get in shape....make a name for myself....I will shine and i will be happy....Sparkle.
spar·kle : to be brilliant, lively, or vivacious.
This is the definition of Sparkle that I am going to follow. there are goals I have set in the scrapbooking industry and my daily life and I want to make sure I sparkle when it comes to achieving the goals. Plus it just makes me happy when I say it!!!!
I hope that will make sense to you...but as long as it makes sense to me...It is all good. Happy New Year
peace
Kim

WOW!

Thats awesome!! What a great list of words to look at and be inspired by!

My word is others. I want to go make something possible...for someone else. I want to think more of others and be kinder to others.
Thanks so much for all of your inspiration, Ali! You've truly made a difference in my life.
