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.

Divine.
I have never had a word of the year before, nor have i heard of it til now, but I started saying it and it has stuck with me.
Divine: Being in the service or worship of a deity; sacred.Superhuman; godlike. Supremely good or beautiful; magnificent, Extremely pleasant; delightful,Heavenly; perfect.To know by inspiration.
Diva is also a derivative of Divine. “Calista Flockhart” (lol)
When I think of the definition of divine… it reminds me of Jesus and how He is the example of how I am supposed to be.. The most Divine person! So YES.. I want to be a Diva.. and I say Divine for everything! lol
Intentional – I am going to strive to be intentional in 2012. No zombie auto-pilot mom or wife. Does that make sense?
My word is confident! I am going to nursing school and I can’t take care of others if I’m not confident in my abilities.
