I first discovered the Word of the Year in 2007 by Michelle, Kristi, and Lisa and was immediately inspired by the idea originated by Alli Edwards:
“A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and slow.”
What’s My Word of the Year? You’ll have to watch my video to find out.{{giggle}}
Word of the Year
IÂ’d like to challenge you to pick a word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2011? To encourage {or bribe} everyone to pick their word, I’m giving away a custom necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs, a $52 value.

My word of the year is to BELIEVE. Believing in myself and power I have to choose the best life I can! The necklace is beautiful!
FOCUS…..focus on living each day pleasing to God.
my word this year is “care”. i think b/c i’m so busy & pulled in a million different directions i’ve tended to let things slide in a lot of areas (including taking care of myself: body, mind, spirit)
this year is the year i set priorities & start putting more care into me, my family & friends & what i do 🙂
happy 2011!!!

tolerance. I have found with having four kids under 5 that my tolerance is getting smaller and smaller, and if i could be a little cheezie for a min. i like to think of the movie eat pray love. when the goru type person (ketut) tells liz (julia roberts) to smile during meditation, but not with your face with your eyes, your brain, and even your liver! i love that line, everytime i think of it i take a min. and reset myself, and feel myself becoming alittle more tolerant of the never ending questions, or chores lol.
ps. this is a gorgous necklace that i would love to wear.
LIGHT. This is my first year…would love the necklace. Thanks for the giveaway.
