One Little Word 2011

My word is HEALTHY. I'm ready for that word to be a big part of my life.

Thanks for the annual inspiration Ali :)

Hope
I want to learn to embrace hope regardless of where I am at in life. I want to find those things that give me hope, give others hope, sustains hope through all life's ups and downs

Teach. This year, 2010, my word was story. I wanted to really embrace telling the story. To be present for the story, to journal and photograph the story, to share the story in my scrapbooks. It is so easy to have good intentions and never get around to getting it done, to rush through life. By participating in One Little Word Story became a real part of my everyday life. In the process I took a new path that was so unexpected. I became a scrapbook teacher to help others tell their story. And, I am pretty good at it. So this year I want to make Teach my one little word. To teach others to scrap what is important in their lives, to teach my children and grandchildren to live their lives more fully and to teach myself to live life with grace. I can't wait for your class to start. This is going to be "Big".

I've written my one little word post on my blog http://rebekahsmind.blogspot.com/ and can't wait to see what 2011 brings.

This may sound selfish, but my word is going to be me. I spend so much time taking care of my kids (I am a single parent) that I feel I haven't had enough time to take care of myself.

My word for 2011 is GRATITUDE. If one focuses on what there is to be grateful for, then all other things will seem pale in comparison.

I think I'm getting closer to choosing a word. I had been thinking about the word STILL--as in spending more time relaxing and enjoying the peace of being at home. Instead of always running around on my free time --I have a horrible daily commute (Wash DC) and it seems I need to get more stilness with my life!
Yet, the second I saw your post--YOUR word LIGHT choose me!I hope this ok. The necklace is really special and a great way to remember your wrod. Thanks Ali!!

BLESSING. Counting my blessings. And being a blessing to others with kind words, time, thoughfulness, and tangible gifts.

Stewardship is my word. I want to be a better steward of all the gifts God has given me: health, talents, time, money - not just let life pass by as it will w/out any aims or plans.

Plan. I don't do enough of it, and I'm always so much happier when I do : ) Meals, chores, ensuring free time, gifts, everything. How functional is that? Heh.

i've chosen two words. one personally for me {prayer} and one for my family {humble}.

I changed my word. I've had such a hard time picking this year. In years past it's come so easily but not this time. I've been flip flopping between "accomplish" and "do." Accomplished feels forced, do feels right. It's just weird to think that a two letter word is my word for the year... but it says so much!

Do is my word.

Do.

:-)

.My word this year is MOVE. It is my word because it applies to my life in many ways. First, I need to move more...my exercise level has fallen off dramatically over the last several years and this has had a significant impact in many areas of my life. I also need to move outside my self imposed boundaries and do more in my life. I also need to move toward the goals I have for myself and move toward completion of many many projects

My word is Leap.
I want to be a yes girl, I want to execute my plan, actualize my thoughts...do. I want tangible results out of all my thoughts, ideas & plans. They aren't going to just live inside my heart & mind. I will be taking a leap this year...I can't wait!!

My word for 2011 is : detail. My father passed away in 2009 and left only a few pictures and some things from when he was in the Navy. It has been hard to not really feel his voice, who he was. I do not want my children to feel the same. I want to leave them the details of time spent together, my feelings of events, things I do not always share.I want them to know all the little bits of who I am.

This is such a wonderful idea, thanks for the inspiration! This will be my first year at choosing a word.

My word is happy! By choosing this word I can work on being happy in all that I do, choosing what is and isn't important to me, spending quality time with my family, and enjoying each day. My phrase has always been 'life is too short' since my Dad died, and this will be a great way to remind me that every moment spent is precious, and should be happy. Living in the moment is such a simple thing to say, yet such a difficult thing to do, and hopefully this will help me in that sometimes evasive goal :o)

my word will be healthy - it's not an exciting word, but it's the one i need. i want to consciously make healthy decisions, not just for my body, but for my relationships and for my spirit too.

I am a single mom with three kids -- one in high school, one in middle school and one in elementary school. I run a very successful company that manages four smaller companies -- mostly because I hire great pepole. My word.... PEACE!

PEACE in our house as we go from activity to activity eating dinner in the car.

PEACE about finances and where we are.

PEACE about less -- less stuff, less craziness, less chaos, less weight, less fast food

PEACE about the future.

PEACE that I am in the most right moment.

PEACE - that passeth all understanding.

TENACITY...I have had to have alot of it in the past year and choose to keep on the path I am laying for myself and a better future, it fits my situations right now

My word is peace... peace in my heart, in my relationships, with God, and most of all in the world (especially having a soldier son and daughter in law who will be deploying in 2011.)
