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 of the year is Faith. In every sense of the meaning…2012, here I come!
I would choose suaimhneas – it means “peace” as in inner peace in Gaelic. For me, 2011 was all about finding inner peace. The one-year anniversary of my brother’s passing was on 9/12/10, just 5 days after the premature birth of my daughter. It was a very difficult time for me, but I am happy to say that 2011 was a wonderful year for us.

My word of the year is Simplify! I have been itching to purge organize and simplify our life and house! 2012 is the year to do it:)
