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 the year is Thrive. There is so much to do, so many things to prioritize, but I want to Thrive, with God’s help, in all areas of my life. Not just survive, but THRIVE. I follow you on facebook as well.
My word of the year is “Unity” This is my 5th year to have a word and I love it! It’s very inspiring.
My word for 2012 is Acceptance. Learning to accept myself and others for who and what they are.
My 2012 word: EVOLVE
My word for 2012 is Hope. After the death of our 10 month old daughter and two miscarriages following that. We still have hope for having a healthy baby this year.
