The word I choose for 2009 is "Acquit".
I want to set myself free from ridiculous burdens such as feeling bad about other people's sad emotions or temper tantrums. I want to free myself from compulsive duties such as feeling like I should make dinner for the kids when I don't have to. I also want to to feel entirely 'Not Guilty' when I say "no" to people for choices I make. I want to acquit myself from these things so I can feel happy about who I am and what i do.

Hi Ali,
Thanks for the incredible amount of inspiration you share with so many people.
My word for this year is CONTROL. I'm not so concerned with controlling my environment, but having control of my thoughts and actions and choices in ways that will impact my surroundings in a positive way.

Hi, i came across this one word on a fellow scrappers site. it intrigued me so I picked my own word. It's "focus". It really is kinda moving to pick one and apply it to your life.. looking forward to 2009.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I was at an Angel Card meeting this weekend and the card that I picked out of the basket was GENEROSITY. I have decided to keep that as my word of the year. I want to be more generous with my time, thoughts, actions with my family, friends, and strangers. I can't wait to see how my word unfolds throughout the year. Thanks Ali.

Ali,
I've chosen AWARENESS as my word for the year...often I'm so busy going from task to task that I am unaware of what is really going on around me, and miss many of the beautiul and special things. Thanks for the suggestion to chose a word. We're all sending you our love during this special time for you and your family.

I'm a little late in getting my word in, but my word for this year is MARGIN...something I really need in my life right now...a little need of staying within my margins and not trying to go past them, on telling people NO, and leaving some room in my life for breathing.
Thanks for all you do Ali!

My word for the year is alive. I didn't see it in your post. This is my year to come alive again after two very difficult years where I was just going through the motions of day to day stuff. I love this idea, it is so inspiring. Love your blog Ali!
