INSPIRING AS EVER! Thank you for adding your words. If by chance I missed your word or you posted it later in the day yesterday feel free to leave it in the comments here and I'll add it to this list.
There's still time to join the One Little Word class at Big Picture. Actually, registration will be open throughout the year for anyone who wants to join in 2011.
The word cloud above was created using Wordle.

My word that keeps coming to me is GIFT.
The gift of a new day, a new beginning in my life.
The gift of my husband, children, family and friends.
The gift of being able to make choices in the country that we live in.
The gift to exercise now when I was unable to before due to injury.
The gift to watch the sunrise at the beach.
The gift to feel 100 degree days.
The gift to love my dogs and have them love me so unconditionally.
The list goes on. I think GIFT is my word.
Thanks Ali.

Hi Ali
I am late to add my word but it has been on my heart for a while. "Promise" is mine for 2011. I am also embracing "purpose" and "intention" as I think the three (for me) are so tightly entwined. I was so excited to see the OLW class this year and signed up as soon as I could, I can't wait to explore and dig deep and see where this all ends up. Thank you, oh so much, for your encouragement and inspiration, it goes well beyond pretty paper, photos and words. I found my life and thought processes significantly changed as I joined in the last "Yesterday and Today" and I know that the OLW class will help me continue to transform. Thank you again.

Hi Ali, love One Little Word so much. Am going to embrace my word this year....progress. Can't wait to see your take on your word, light. So inspiring. Was wondering if you have a sidebar blinkie for One Little Word that we could add to our blog. I picked up Becky's for Project Life and would love yours to be snuggled right there up to Becky's. :)

I smiled to see my word RELEASE on this list. I forgot to add it to the original post list, but I now I feel like I have a kindred spirit(s) in the person who also chose this word. Maybe we can send any other some subconscious support from time to time? :)
Replies
mine too! I need to release a lot of things, but also some negative attitudes, old resentments, bad memories, and outdated routines. This year it's not about resolutions, it's about resolve!
happy to, Sharon. That's my word as well. : )

All these wonderful words. I am still torn between two words - Change and Hope. Hope keeps coming up but so does Change. I feel this is a year of change but I'm hopeful about a number of things, so it's a toss up. How do I decide?
Replies
I vote for just starting the year off with two words if they both really seem to be speaking to you. Throughout the year one might speak louder than the other...there's no rules with this...only possibility :).
Thanks Ali!

Hi Ali,
My word is FIND. (And, I read a post yesterday from someone using SEEK - which kind of goes along with FIND!)
Thanks!

After a very difficult year...the only word that came to mind is "breathe". So that will be my word...I want to take time to breathe and enjoy this journey called life.

So cool! I am just loving the "lift" this class is giving me; totally stumbled upon it January 1st and immediately knew my word was REALIZE. So impressed with how you've organized the class, as I can see HOW MUCH WORK had to go into preparing all of those materials - well done!
