One Little Word 2012 | The Words

Hi Ali,
After jotting down a list - word after word, my OLW is PURPOSE.
Surprisingly, I didn't see it on this list.
I hope this word helps some others looking for their OLW.

To me, PURPOSE means:
To live with intention, planned and thoughtfully.
To create/preserve calmness by preplanning.
To truly enjoy, delight in, cherish and celebrate little and big life moments by not allowing chaos rule my life.

My word last year was MOVE.
And boy, did I! Not only physically in location, but emotionally and all aspects... But with it came a lot of chaos.

Happy NEW YEAR Ali!!!
Wishing you and the kids great adventures and moments in 2012.

Project is my word...as in finsihing up a bunch of projects...health wise, financially, home wise, and art wise:)

My 2012 word (phrase?) is Well-Being.
2011 was Present

My word for 2012 is resolve

What an interesting and exciting list. I pray that everyone has a wonderful year where they are able to go through the year living and working with their word. Blessings everyone.

Well, I keep hesitating but I believe my word for 2012 is Thrive. Thanks for putting up the list.

Thought i had my word..VISION but havent 100% committed to it yet...love the word VICTORY but more importantly when i keep this word in front of me it is a huge part of who I am! I also thought about Dream but now will go and do a little more digging into a few others such as expectation and purpose...thanks Ali for doing this again!

My word for 2012 isn't on the list yet. It is NEST.

After much contemplation the past two weeks, I've finally settled on REFINE.

Gosh, what an awesome list! Truly motivating!!!

Great list of words. My word is not on the list yet. Define is my word for 2012.

It's already on your list, but I'm choosing COMPLETE. Last year my word was FOCUS, and I plan to continue that word as well.

thank you Ali for posting this incredible list of words - I just picked my word today. After reading about (& very much relating to) Oskar's "heavy boots in the fantastic novel (& new movie) Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer my word is lighten. I also LOVE your word "up" so simple, so little yet so meaningful & in so many ways.

My word for 2012 is CHOOSE !!

Thanks for posting the list. My word for 2012 is "loved". :)

My word is BLOOM.

I was thinking in terms of taking some areas of focus and interest and really doing more with them (more doing, less thinking). The words I was initially looking at were "develop" and "progress" because I want to progress more in developing certain areas of my life that I've been spotty in working on in the past.

But I wanted something more metaphorical than those two words. And I attending my second painting workshop this year, both called, "Bloom True." So BLOOM seemed like the word.
