One Little Word 2009 & Giveaways

CELEBRATE
As a reminder to celebrate the people and good things in your life ...
As a reminder that celebration doesn't need to be done on a big scale, but that it needs to happen in small ways every day ...
As a reminder that words are things, and that saying the words and recording the feelings are gifts to yourself and those you love.

My word for the new year us SIMPLICITY. I have two little boys and a little girl on the way. I want everything to be as simple as possible. The cooking, cleaning, the amount of stuff we have in our home, my scrapbooking, etc. I am very excited about making some changes to our lives and can't wait to see how our family is enriched this year.

My word for 2009 is balance....
to have my thoughts = my words and actions.

My word for 2009 will be TEN. This past year a friend asked me how happy I was on a scale of 1 to 10 and I replied with 9. After saying it I realized there are only a few areas holding me back from being able to say 10. Including taking control of my health and adding more structure to my daily routine.
I want to strive this year to change those last few habits that keep me from living my fullest life and being able to confidently answer....TEN!

My word last year was celebrate - as in celebrate my home, family and life each day. I did 365 and did celebrate it!
This year, I'm not sure yet, still pondering which word will fit best...

My word for this year is "determined". There are so many things that I want to accomplish and stick with this year! I am determined to do them all!

I just love reading everyone else's words.
I haven't quite decided on mine for this year yet. (I have less than 24 hours to do so - so like me. Maybe I should make it "unprocrastinate" if that IS a word!) :)
I may go with last year's PURPOSEFUL. I feel like I didn't get all the "use" out of it that I could.
Two other possibilities: SUPPORT or SIMPLIFY. Both of these are speaking to me in a big way. The first speaks more to what others in my life are needing from me right now (and I want to give) and the 2nd is a yearning that I always seem to have in my soul - and especially at this time of the year!
We shall see...

My word for 2009 is "thankful." I just wanted to be thankful to what I am and have now.

My word this year is SIMPLIFY. As in everything.
Thanks for the constant inspiration and happy 2009!

Happy New Year, Ali!
My word for 2009 is {faith}. HAving faith in myself, faith in others, and faith in the Lord. I have been wanting a deeper connection with my faith for awhile and I am making that a priority in all ways in 2009. Thanks for the kick in the pants:)

My word will be MOMENTS as in "enjoy life's MOMENTS". I hope you will have a great year and I admire your work. You give me so much inspiration and food for thought...

My word for 2009?
BE
Just need to be myself, who could do this better?
Love from our house to yours,
Anne

I didn't have to think to long about my word this year. It is Patience. I need some patience with myself, my kids, my work...really everything. I have been praying for more patience for months now and when saw your first post about the word of the year I knew right away what mine would be. I am definitely making some things with my word on it this year for several different rooms in my house. I'm excited to do a page or several...with my word on it.
I can't wait to come back and read everyone's ideas. As always you are a true inspiration.

Right now, I am thinking that my word should be RESOURCEFUL -- considering the economy and the possibility that my hubby's job may be eliminated in 09 -- however, that may not look so good on a necklace! I will think on other words that would relate to this --- thanks for the giveaway and Happy New Year.

My word is "accomplish". I really hope to accomplish many things in my life this year.

My word this year will be "roll" as in roll with the punches. This last year has been one whopper punch after another in my life and my career and the changes are taking place on a minute by minute basis. I'm totally in love with two country songs right now 1) "Roll On" by Kid Rock and 2) "Roll With Me" by Montgomery Gentry so the word "Roll" just fits this year.

My word for 2008 was "breathe" and I wore it around my neck all year on a Lisa Leonard necklace to remind me to take time for myself evey once and awhile. This year I think my word will be "change" though I am not quite sure yet. I also have a new baby on the way and I know how dramatically things are going to change in my life when it is not just me and my husband anymore. This is a great giveaway and I am anxious to see what word everyone chooses for the year.

I think I will be going with the word EMBRACE for 2009 as there will be some huge changes that I will be undertaking, some good and some not so good. Embrace will encourage me to face this changes in a positive way and hopefully give me the inner strength that I might need.
I hope 2009 is a wonderful year for you and your family!

My word this year is "Simplify." I tend to do everything the hard way...this year I'm going to try to stop and think about what I'm doing before I do it and SIMPLIFY my life.

my word for 2009 is "acceptance"... accept who i am and accept i can not do it all perfectly, but that God accepted me as i am.
it is all i need for this year!
