One Little Word 2011

My word for 2010 was 'plan' & remembering it throughout the year really helped me get things done more efficiently. I think my word for 2011 will be 'dare', hopefully that will help me try new things & get out of my comfort zone more often.

My word is courage. I need it this year in my on-going struggle with and recovery from a more severe than I realized depression. I too am signed up for the class and I'm really looking forward to it! thanks everyone for sharing your words! I'm also planning on treating myself to one of the necklaces Ali linked -- to which Ali linked -- sorry that old English major comes out sometimes.....

My word for 2011 is FEARLESS. This is the 1st time I will be doing OLW and I have signed up for Ali's class at BPC and can't wait! I chose this word because I am afraid of making that first step to change what needs to be changed...from re-entering the field of medicine after 10 years at home with my kids to losing weight and committing to change in the long haul. I'm afraid of what people will think of me, of what changes will happen and if I'll be able to handle it all. Have already started reading "Feel the fear and do it anyway" by Susan Jeffers, in preparation for the year ahead. Can't wait to see how putting my focus on this one little word will change my circumstances in the year ahead!

I really do love seeing everyone's word inspirations for the upcoming New Year!

So far I am really contemplating the word "change" as my one little word for 2011. Haven't completely decided, but it does seem to be sticking in my mind. =)

My word is Peace. It found me last year and won't let go this year. I keep finding it everywhere in places I've never seen it before. I think I need to let this word live with me a bit longer
and I'm okay with that.

My word is contentment or content. I'm taking the class at Big Picture Classes! I can't waiat

I chose the word "give" as in helping someone with simple things like letting them in line in front of you, reaching something that is out of their reach on a shelf in a store, opening and holding a door for someone, being kind to an older person, etc. Just giving of yourself to make someone's life simpler or easier for them.

Thanks Ali. My one little word is "INSPIRE". Inspire myself and inspire my daughter to be everything she is, especially heading into the first year of high school.

My word is ACTIVE. I think this word will take me to a lot of good places. This is my first 'one little word' experience and i am looking forward to it. I have all my supplies and am ready to take on 2011.

I've been on the fence going back and forth on a word. But, I think for this year I will go with the word Enjoy. I'm hoping to just slow down this year and enjoy the everyday moments that we sometimes take for granted.

I'm really looking forward to your class, Ali!!

This will be my first year. I am very excited to embrace ONE WORD. My word will be "nourishing". This will apply to food, relationships, spiritual and soul searching activities, as well as what I watch or read. If it isn't truly nourishing, I don't need it...

I'm torn between two words: "perspective" (as in, I need to maintain a healthy one) or "drishti", the Sanskrit word referring to vision, fous, or point of view. I think both words capture the essence of what I feel I need to mindful about, it's just a matter of decidng on the word.

My word for 2011 is "breathe" because I need to remember to breathe more in between everything I am dealing with and remember things could always be so much worse.

My word is "health". I want to take care of me. My mind is much better than before... now I neek to be in better shape. Futhermore, I'm a doctor!! I know how important it is!!

The word I have selected is balance.
After practicing yoga for almost one year now, I find that this word really speaks to me. This year I intend to be mindful of striving for balance in all areas of my life. :-)

fight kept coming in my head, but i wanted one with a little softer edges but still had power...so i chose the word "conquer"...i have held back on things b/c i was too busy, too afraid, too lazy...but not this yr!! i am taking back my health, my ambitions, my time...this is my yr!!!

My word is Change. This word is something that I fear, change is just not something I handle very well. My husband and I will be moving at the start of the new year to a new town and I will find myself starting a new chapter....a possible new career choice, a new home, new friends, and maybe even the start of our family:) So I am going to embrace change, make it my word, and see where it takes me this year!!
Happy New Year!!

In 2011, I want to "RECONNECT" with myself. I want to recall the times that provided the most joy and energy and concentrate in making those things that bring happiness to my life. This is the year about ME. Thanks Ali! I just signed up for your class.

My word is Hope. It's so full of possibility for what the new year brings. I love the word light too... YOU MUST READ "And There Was Light" the autobiography of Jacques Lusseyran. It's beautifully written and deeply moving.

this word has followed me: enough
