One Little Word 2009 & Giveaways

i'm torn. my word of the day is either "focus" or "love". i think focus, though. because i want to focus on love, focus on others, focus on a few other things. not be so scattered with how i live my life. have pin-point accuracy with everything. completely intentional.
so. focus. focus is my word for 2009.

My word for 2009 is "cherish".
1. to hold or treat as dear; feel love for: to cherish one's native land.
2. to care for tenderly; nurture: to cherish a child.
3. to cling fondly or inveterately to: to cherish a memory.

I am also choosing SIMPLIFY.
Love your choice Ali!

Hi Ali, thanks so much for sharing this. My word of the year is Simple.

Hi Ali
My word for 2009 is joy. I want to find joy in time spent with my children, joy in the everyday instead of the same old grind.
Thanks for the chance!

my one little word for 2009 is CREATIVE. i wish to get in touch with the creative side of me. to know and to steer that power within me to create the life that i wish to live, in my business, photography, art, relationships and life. a fun, joyful living in 2009!
Thanks Ali, Happy New Year to you and family!

My word for 2009 is EXCELLENCE: the state of possessing outstanding quality or superior merit. I don't mean perfection, but consciously making an effort to do the best I can in every situation. To me, that is excellence.
Excellence is getting to know God more, and in turn, learning more about myself. I am getting married this year, so excellence in learning how to be the wife my fiance needs (not necessarily the wife I think I should be). Excellence in learning how to cook for said fiance (LOL). Excellence in pursuing my dreams. They have lied dormant for too many years. Excellence in taking better care of myself (mind, body, spirit and soul).

IMMINENCE-- I know that it is a wierd word, but I am a procrastinator. Procrastination combined with my poor time management skills and over-planning leads to stress!! I plan to realize the imminence of all of my projects and work on getting them done sooner, rather than later...or not at all!!

My word for 2009 in INTEGRITY...
This word has been knawing at me for sometime now. I strive everyday of my life to not only keep my own integrity intact, but to gentle teach others to do the same. Something I feel we as a people and nation severly lack.
INTEGRITY is demonstrated by people who do the right thing, no matter what the circumstances may be.
I Will:
• Do the right thing, even if it isn’t going to be easy for me or for others.
• Make sure there is no difference between what I say and what I do. I will be
consistent and true to my heart.
Thank you Ali, for keeping us alert and on our toes, you rock sweetheart!
Namaste'

Well, I'm still thinking about it, but I "feel" like the word 2009 will be "today" or "present". I always tend to worry about things upcoming in the future, laying things aside I should be doing currently and all these things stress me in the end. So I want to be more pesent, live in the moment and do what I want to and should do. No more "doing nothing", which isn't the same as relaxing. Instead of sitting around, browsing the web for no reason, thinking about unimportant events that could be, I want to read more, take more pictures, scrap,.. I want to improve in 2009 :) Can't wait till I can start, even if it's going to be tough some times.. *gg*
Best wishes for your 2009!!

My word for 2009 is trust...trust that things will work out the way that they should...trust others...and most importantly, trust myself.

My word for 2009 is LIVE! I think I'd like to preface it, with a couple others: GO, BE, DO!!
I like to think it's a nice leading up, kinda like "ready, set, GO!".
The reason I've selected these words, is that I feel I have just been gliding along in my life and not living it. This is the year I stand up and do it!

I have several words that keep popping up for me. I am hoping that when I let my subconcious rest it will bubble up the one that is most present.
My words are Fierce, Patience, Embrace - I want to live and love fiercely, to be in the moment and enjoy every ounce - to be fierce in my convictions, passion and myself. To nurture patience as i found this past year that i dont have patience for those who want to doubt things or dont want to try. And I want to embrace life - I have witness much loss this past year and while I know I am not in control of most of it, its a reminder to embrace each moment and let those you love know how much.
Best to you and your nurturing of your family and yourself. It is the perfect word for you.
Wishing happiness to all in 2009.

My word is BELIEVE. Believe in myself and all I am capable of being. I feel that over the last couple of years I have lost a little faith in myself and all that I have accomplished in my life. I would like to move forward and to do that I must BELIEVE!My very best to you and your growing family. Thank you for all your inspiration! Happy 2009!!!

This is my first year for having a WORD. I'm going with GATITUDE. There are so many things to be grateful for and I need to not let the other things get in the way of that.

I think my word for 2009 is going to be "grow." I want to learn new things and grow.

My personal word for 2009 is "create"... create stuff, create a business, create a stable environment for our baby

I am thinking about peace or acceptance. I am working on being positive and being in the present and I want my word to be related to these areas.
