My word for 2012 is already on the list....TIME. I read a quote on a blog about time and then three days later my pastor shared an awesome message that confirmed tome that TIME was the word of choice for me this year. This is the third year I've had "One Little Word" and I want to thank you for the encouragement I received from your blog. It's been a good habit to get into.
Happy New Year to you and your family!

I did wind up with Flourish. It's working great! I have just opened the OLW classroom but saving the video for later today when I get my 'work' done. :)

Wow! Just working on my first class of OLW 2012 . . .so many unexpected surprizes in store. My word is FOCUS and it really chose me. I'm finding out why!
Last year I didn't take the class, and may I recommend not missing Ali's class to all you ladies. My word was significant for me last year, but now I wish I had been able to explore it more . . . it would have been very powerful! ah . . . hindsight!

The first time I have done this -- but comes at a perfect time in my life -- my word is RELEASE! I must let go and let God, and let me!!

My word is MOVE - I'm moving house, moving on with my studies, moving jobs and trying to move more (exercise)

Yay, my OLW is in the list - what a powerful list, by the way. Love how there are so many of us all striving for a better life and though we are all far apart, we are all in this together. Thanks Ali for facilitating such a great thing.

Vigor. This year I am working on my personal health. Lessening my stress and keeping my mind and body healthy and happy. :) Happy 2012!!

Mine is fearless! And I'm fearlessly sharing it!

My word is CHOICE! I want to remember that I always have a choice; that I have chosen to do what I am doing.
Happy New Year!!! The best is yet to come!

I'm still trying to decide between "praise" and "compliment".
(Which one is more opposite of "criticize"?)
I'll decide soon and be back! (smile)
Praise it is! This is my first year to focus on One Little Word!

My word is ACHIEVE. Hope you like it. There are so many things I would like to achieve, that I would hope my kids can achieve, also things that I am happy my hubby has already achieved, etc. I think this is my word for 2012. It is great for motivation as well as looking back.

[...] meaning over the past year. In 2012, my one word is confidence. Ali Edwards recently posted a roundup of “one words” chosen by others that your future self may enjoy perusing [...]

Ordinary... that is my word for Twenty Twelve... Inspired by Katrina Kenison and The Gift of an Ordinary Day... "It has taken awhile, but I certainly do know it now- the most wonderful gift I had, the gift I finally learned to cherish above all else, was the gift of all those perfectly ordinary days."

It is always so inspiring to read all these uplifting words! My word (not on the list) is INVIGORATE. I played around with a lot of words, but kept coming back to this one. I want to invigorate and pump some energy into my life, my crafts, my home, my health. I want to shake things up and get energized!

My word is "energy". As in: I plan to make choices that foster positive energy (both physically and mentally).
