The words.

I'm so excited....after posting my word here yesterday, I took your advice and made a visual reminder. i blogged about it here... http://debperry.typepad.com/in_a_days_time/
thanks for all your inspiration Ali!

Great list! Mine for 2008 is COMFORTABLE. I blogged about it here:

I forget to reply with my word! I saw forms of it - but mine is "intention" as in "live with intention." Last night I did an art journal entry with my "one little phrase" and did a visual reminder by my desk - so fun.

My word is honour- to honour myself, my relationships, my commitments and my dreams... thank you so much for your sharing and inspiration!

My one word: love.
Lots of words about the one word (and how much I loved doing this last year) here: http://creativeorganizing.typepad.com/creative_organizing/2008/01/my-word-my-word.html
Thanks, Ali, for the inspiration!!

Wow, that's one big list of words! I'm in the simplify camp. Just posted about it on my own blog. Thanks again for the inspiration - hope your year is an exciting one:)

The List is awe inspiring. My word for 2008 is FAITH. Funny...the topic at church today was FAITH. I am a fairly new Christian and I want to explore and invest in my FAITH, in God, in others and myself. I love your Blog Ali, and I love learning. What a wonderful way to start the new year with a focus. Walking in FAITH. Sheri

Missed mine - DETAIL. Thanks for doing this!

I hadn't picked mine yet, but the "core" word was on the list and reminded me. :-)
Mine is more of a phrase: Just Do It. Yeah, cliche slogan, I know, but that is always my problem! I KNOW what to do, but now I have to actually DO it. :-) Thanks for the inspiration. I know it must be exhausting sometimes, draining in a way, but I hope it also can energize you... that knowing what you do for other people can in some way return the favor...

I think my word for 2008 is "Believe" because sometimes I have a hard time believing in myself or what my children can really do. Santa bought me your book for christmas and since then I have referred a forum of scrapping girls who all have autistic/asperger's kids to your book for this site. This week I warned my ds to stay out of the slow lane at the local pool because I didn't think he could swim a lap, well lo and behold he swam two laps, not the best style but who cares so I need to believe in my children.

Mine is Revive. As always, thanks for the inspiration.

What a cool concept! Here is my word:
http://stampedinhisimage.blogspot.com/2008/01/word-of-year.html

It's taken me a whole week this year to choose a word. The year ahead contains some big planned changes for me:- building a new home, starting a new career (I hope) & starting a family. However I also have a strong sense of unplanned changes that will affect & surround me this year. I don't know how I will react to these changes if & when they do come however I would like to think I can EMBRACE them. This is my word for 2008.

my word for 2008 is "explore." I really want to explore new techniques and push myself to think outside the box.

Wow what a great list of words.
My choice is TRY.
There are so many times I pass up doing something because I am sure it won't turn out right, so this year 'try' will be what I tell myself.
Think of the possibilities.

My word is "selah" a holy pause.

hey Ali! Pulled mine from the list. Gonna go with NOW. works with the 365 challenge I've decided to do and works with my focus on the here and NOW. thanks for the inspiration!

Wow! what a list. Thank you for compiling all of it. That must have taken you quite some time. Great list ladies (and gents).

A little late to pick mine too, but I chose AMBITION. Pursuing a photog business, reaching my goal weight, and doing more for others...all things I want to do with ambition this year. Awesome list, thanks for the inspiration Ali! :)

Ali, this year I had trouble thinking of a word until I read the list. The one word that jumped out at me was balance.
Thankyou for putting together an inspiring list of words.

hi. just wanted to say...my order from cocoa daisy arrived yesterday...your newest book is just beautiful...was the perfect thing to have on a snowy afternoon with nowhere to go..didn't put it down until I had flipped through the whole thing! totally gorgeous and inspiring. [wrote a little in my blog about it]
and,
my word: Brighten
as in: to brighten days, to bring light or understanding to the things I do, we do, as a family, to strive to show the positive side in things. sharing and showing in order to understand.
hope you feel better soon.

This has really inspired me to have one word..something I have never done before.
My word is HEALTHY. I want to develop healthy habits, work on having a healthy self-esteem, keep my relationships healthy, and focus on doing things that meet my needs for mental health, social/emotional health, and physical health. I am excited! thank you so much!

Hey Ali, thanks for compiling the list... amazing to see so many words that we have come up with... =)

I love this list, thanks Ali for inspiring so many. My word is HOME, we are currently building our house and have been staying in temporary housing. I look forward to moving in, getting settled and creating new family traditions and memories.

I didn't see my word, DISCOVER, on the list! I left you a comment on one of the first days you mentioned the idea of picking a word for the year! I love the idea and can't wait to create some projects with my word.
