Congratulations to our two lucky winners! #358, Bobbiann; and #778, Tonya Dew!
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.
I thought long and hard about my word of the year and it came as a result of the year I had in 2011. I made you a little video message as to why I picked this word!
for·ti·tude ~ Mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation courageously.

My word for 2012: Verve!
I submitted the bonus entry too. 😉
My word of the year is adopt. The word I’m finished with is infertility. Adopt is the future. It is filled with hope and promise.
My word of the year is LOVE!!! I believe that all things are possible with love and it is my constant goal to achieve more love for myself and the people around me. To exude an essence of love so strong that even the coldest hearts are warmed and the darkest depths are lit. To be a person so filled with love that it pours out of me and fills the emptiness of every person I encounter. <3
