One Little Word 2012 | The Words

My word is stretch.

I thought I had posted my word...EXPLORE

My one little word is passion. Passion for everything I do in my life. A health scare this December puts things in new perspective. Life is too short not to have passion. I have signed up for the class and am ready to go!

BEGIN...

Thanks for this wonderful list. I'm looking forward to a new year and our new class. I've finally landed on CREATE, which you already have on the list. Create in the way of having intention and bringing things into being and of course being creative too. I hesitated to use such a common word with my peers, but it says what I want to focus on this year. I choose to CREATE the life I want to live in all the ways I can. Last year was FLOURISH and it was wonderful!

My word is GIVE.. After spending much time preparing for this year, I just want to give more of myself to my family, to be present with them all the time, to give to my community and fellow man out of my time, my heart, my passions and talents.. Its a year to give back all that has made my life so richly blessed for so many years.

What an inspiring list. This is my first year choosing a word. After giving a good deal of thought, I've decided on DECIDE. I want to decide what is worthy of me/my time and then commit to making it happen :)

Ali, please add my word "selfless" - as in thinking, doing, acting for others, rather than myself. Letting God shine and work thru me. Thank you.

beautiful list! my word will be "search" this year....

So excited! Someone has my word from last year! I wonder if s/he'll post more than I did and what his/her take will be!

My word is FULFILL...I tend to come up with a lot of great plans, ideas, and projects that don't end up coming to fruition. This is my year to focus on a few great ideas and see them through to completion! Thanks for all of your inspiring comments, and to you Ali for creating this class...Happy New Year everyone!

The word that keeps coming to me is "Curious". I am not sure why the word seems so right but I think it has to do with asking more questions, being more humble, deepening understanding, and seeking out more boldly the possibilities that come with being more open and curious about myself and the world around me.

Great list! A few have me baffled, and I'd LOVE to know what is behind them:
aroha
bathroom
hokey-pokey

Hi thank you for this wonderful idea! I started doing this about 4 years ago. It is an incredible way to focus on something important for the year. We (my husband and I )have decided on relationship. That is every kind of relationship! Thank you Ali

Words updated to here.

Thanks for the list Ali! It was inspiring to see all of the words together in one place! I feel that participating in this OLW will make 2012 BETTER for ALL of us!

I have decided to stay with Possibilities for a second year!

Some great words already! I'm not sure why, but I'm so excited about this year. My word is FLOURISH.

I've picked words the past few years, but this year I'm really embracing it. My word for 2012 is WORK.

Mine isn't on the list yet. It will be ANYTHING this year. I was contemplating a few words I liked and they all would fit. It can be anything, I thought, so 'anything' it will be. Imagine the possibilities! I can try anything, have an open mind to anything, don't limit myself, anything is possible!
