One Little Word 2010

I chose a word last year after reading your blog, my word was HOPE.
For 2010 my word is PASSION(ATE). If I choose to do something it is to be with passion otherwise I need to consider whether it is the right thing to do, instead of saying yes to anything/everything and getting stressed if it feels right I will do it with PASSION.
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year xxx

I never could come up with a word for myself, but this year I don't even have to think about it. It is 'letting go'. (In Dutch this is one word! ;-) )
This is what I need to do this year. I will sing my mantra many times!
Let it go, let it go, let it go.

GAJILLION is my word (not sure if that is a real word or not) But..........
I plan on accomplishing a GAJILLION things this year. Big and Small--- and looking forward to each one!

Dear Ali,
I've taken classes and made scrapbooks with you that are wonderful and meaningful. But perhaps the biggest impact you have had on me and my family has been with the one little word. In 2007 my word was roots - and it brought me home and work that I love, in 2008 my word was breathe - and it made a huge difference, in 2009 my word was joy - and it might have been too big of a word, it was a very hard year. Last year my oldest daughter chose balance as her word - and she really pulled her life together. She has already chosed grow as her word for 2010. I am still considering...I need a nourishing, kind and optimistic word - I am thinking about dream and I am thinking about loved. I'll let you know.
Thanks so much!! Susan

I think my word for 2010 is Create! Of course I want to create scrapbook and craft projects but I also want to work on my novel and create a happy healthy home and family, create a safe haven for friends and family I just want to create something special in everything I do in 2010

I never did guess the right "S" word on twitter! Story is a great word. You do such a fabulous job of telling your own story already...and you also help all of "us" with getting our stories told as well :)

Move. It came to me instantly and has multiple meanings to me this coming year.

I pondered and pondered about my word for 2010 and it didn't hit me till I read Anna's word and that was it.
My word for 2010 is WHOLEHEARTED.
To pursue everything wholeheartedly, family, work, art, journaling everthing!

My word is BEGIN.

My word for 2010 is: Breathe. Instead of worrying about the what-if's, I'm going to focus on the what's-happening-now's.

I choose 'treasure.' Because I need to remember to treasure moments. Because I need to create treasures to honor those moments. And because it reminds me of The Goonies, which just makes me happy. :)

The word that picked me is awaken.

Ali,
I am so thankful you are so willing to share a bit of you with all of us! You are thoughtful and inspiring.
As I read what other woman said their word for the day was I wasn't sure what mine would be. Then a little voice said it would be TRUST. I need to have more faith that all aspects of raising children will be okay. The pressure of being a perfect parent is overwhelming. In 2010 I will have to let go a little and Trust more.
Happy New Year

My word for 2010 is "survive". I love what I found in the thesaurus: (verb) To exist in spite of adversity; come through; last; persist; pull through; ride out; weather..
That has been what my family has been doing all throughout 2009. Through the grace of God we will continue to survive throughout 2010.

my word for 2010 is ACTION.
i have so many ideas,
and i am continually inspired,
but what i've lacked so far is the doing part.
so no more excuses.
2010 is a year of ACTION!
ps. and that includes completing yesterday&today retrospectively ~ truly one of the best online classes i have done (and i've done a few!) and i sincerely hope you will be doing more online teaching in the near future. thanks for being so inspiring ali.

my word is PROMISE
...as in fulfilling "she had so much PROMISE when she was younger" and "I PROMISE I will keep my promises" - to myself especially

PULL! (I get it too!)

My word is STABILITY. It is something I and my family need so much right now with all of the chaos of late due to a move and also a new diagnoses for our son of cerebal palsy and possible aspergers. Thanks Ali for one word. :)

I've also decided to take part in this little tradition of yours. After much thinking, the only thing that kept coming back in my mind was GRATITUDE. I know I should feel grateful for a lot of things in my life, but I tend to focus more on what is going wrong or what should be improved.
This year I want to focus on what is good or beautiful in me or around me and celebrate it!

I want to TRANSFORM me into something better and improved...more accepting of things that cannot change, more patient with those around me, more forgiving when something doesn't go right, moving from "just" (don't really mean that, but I'm sure many of you know what I mean) a SAHM into one that uses her talents to further her happiness and contributes to the household and more aware of the other 4 wonderful people that make up our content family.
