Am I the only one who changed her word every day since the 1st of january?? I would love to have 3-4 words, but I know that by sticking to just one, I'll have more chances to make it work. :)
My word is now: Take care
Take care of my kids, my spouse, myself, my house...
And I plan to make it stay so until the end of the year!

You missed mine, it's ACCOMPLISH.
I've known what I want my word to represent. I want it to help remind me to excerise and eat healthy, to keep up with my bookwork (we own our own business and I work from home), to stay on top of keeping the house organized and clean. Stop procrastinating and do things.
I thought of do, but that sounds bossy and negative as in do this, do this, do that. I saw the word become as in become the women, wife, mother Im meant to be but that sounds quite big and daunting.
So I finally decided on ACCOMPLISH. I know that everday I by doing small things I can ACCOMPLISH my goals and become who I want to be. At the end of the day I can think of all the small things I can ACCOMPLISH everday and feel happy at the end of each day.

thanks ali!! i didn't post my word, but i do see it there!
it's so fun to see everyone's choices. after reading other people's blogs about their word, i'm discovering that while our words are different, so many of our goals & hopes are the same. i just think that's so cool. we're similar but different.
can't wait to see more of everyone's work in the gallery!

[...] January 4, 2011 by jennifertobler Leave a Comment A couple of years ago, I ran across a post that wasn’t your typical New Years Resolution type posts. Instead of focusing on a goal, the post encouraged people to focus on a word, or a theme if you will, for that year. (This year’s post can be found here). [...]
