Hi Ali, All the words look amazing when put into that CLOUD Graphic. I would love to do the class with you and am glad to know that I can join in at any time. I just have too much on to do it right away, and since my word was PEACE I feel I would be going against it right from the start by taking too much on at once. I loved the reading your friend did yesterday and wonder does she do readings for Meditation/Relaxation DVD's if not, she certainly should she has a wonderful calming voice.Well Ali, I will keep on with my word and hope to join you in your classroom when the holidays are over and my Grandchildren get back to School in Feb.
Cheers,
Bev......

I just found my word, yesterday. And, it's not on the list (which makes me feel oh-so-original, lol). My word is Quiet.
Just thought I'd share! Thanks!!

I read your blog regularly and seeing this inspired me to join your class online. Thank you!

I'm just now finding my word, except it's not really a word but a phrase. For too long, I've fought with self-doubts and feelings that I can't do things. So this year, my one little word is actually a little phrase, "si puendo," which means "yes, I can." So, I am going to work hard at being positive and keeping in mind that "si puendo, yes, I can."
It came to me this morning while I was at the walking track in 36 degree temperatures, but sunny skies: I had already jogged three laps, and then an upbeat song came on my Zune player--"All Summer Long" by Kid Rock. I said to myself, that, yes, I can make one more lap--and I did it!
Si puendo.
