One Little Word 2009 & Giveaways

my word for 2009 is COURAGE...the courage to accept who I am; the courage to embrace change; the courage to love freely; the courage to follow my dreams. It's an all-encompassing word! Happy New Year!

As a mother of 1 year old twins and a 6 year plus a husband and a new home, this year "Pace" will be my word. I find myself doing too much, too fast all the time. This year is all about PACE.

My word is Discipline. I love how this word is strong and implies structure. For me it doesn't have a negative connection but rather it has a connection that will allow me to grow and achieve so many things that I have to do and be. I have so much in my life but I need the Discipline to enjoy it all.

GRATEFUL...i heard someone say once, until you are truely grateful for what you have, how can anything new come into your life. i think it has a lot of meaning for me and where i am at.

My word for this year is 'peace' - I hope to find more in my life both, mentally and spiritually!

My word for this year is LEARN. I've already set in motion a few things, like signing up for three of Jessica Sprague's digi classes. I'm checking out some local photography classes and I have a few non-scrapbooking learning experiences in mind.
It also applies to my relationship with my six children, as I help them LEARN and grow.

Savor - my son is growing up so fast, my husband and I work non-stop and we need to stop and savor every big and small moment we have with him and each other.

i think my word for the year will be 'positive'. i need to remain hopeful that our economy will turn, that my employment situation will stabilize - in a nutshell i need to remain positive - it's so easy to go the other way :(

I can't believe that you're only a month away from having the baby! I can hardly wait to see what she looks like!
I'm still thinking of my word for 2009. Too many to pick from!

What great giveaways! thanks so much for the opportunity to win!
My word is: ACHIEVE. I have many goals for 2009, and I will achieve them- one at a time, step by step!

I am still thinking about my word. I have a short list but not one word yet. Up for consideration are faith, love, and laugh.

I am still working on my 2009 one word but have the list narrowed to three:
Courage - to move forward and not look back.
Embrace - the unexpected and life changing occurances over the last year of my life and learn to be a peace with the changes.
Strength - to be able to overcome the unexpected and life changing occurances.
Will have to contemplate a little longer before deciding on just one.

I'm debating between two words: Transform & Resolve. Actually, they are related. So I'm resolving to transform! We have some transforming to do on our house and I'm resolving to get it done in 2009!
Happy New Year, love your word, and thanks for the chance for some fabulous prizes.

Wow this is a great idea! I don't know what my word is yet, but I will find it in the next few days. There is always so much to look forward to in an upcoming year, this next year we will be getting out and going with the new Christmas puppy, my son will be starting school in the fall and my husband's job always has a chance of moving. I'll have to find a word for moving forward in a positive way.

I thought I knew exactly what my word for 2009 was going to be until I read through some of these posts. I'm thinking about the word CHANGE because there are so many things I need to work through. But along with changes comes the courage to make the changes, Dare(ing) to make bold decisions, Choose(ing) a different path. I'll be thinking about this today.
Thanks for everyone's inspiration. Happy New Year.

I am still deciding, but leaning towards REACH.
In the upcoming year, I need to REACH out to others and make new friends, REACH out and help others more, REACH up to higher standards for myself and children, and REACH within myself for once.
Thank you for your on-going inspiration.

Ali, I'm so excited about this. I love the word for the year...this my third year doing it and it makes it so easy to remind me of my focus for the year.
While I was going with another word, I saw a book and it changed my word all together. My word this year is BLOOM. To let all of the things that I feel are in me rise to the surface and not be put aside because of fear or excuses.
I'm so excited!

cherish - i want to focus on enjoying what is happening now and not worrying about anything else!

WOw!!!!! My pastor has been talking about serving others for the last few weeks and when I saw that sign it just seemed to be a confirmation of what my word should be. I, too have a baby on the way and I am thinking hard about what my focus will be for this new year. I definitely want to do some things differently to improve myself, if that makes sense. I;m still thinking.

I love YOUR word!!!! it is a vary calming word, isn't it??? my word will be COMMITMENT. TO my husband, and children and my faith. Having tenagers and a very active home, I need to be reminded of the coomitment I made to my family, and to God in how I am raising my children. Thank You.
