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.

SURVIVOR
My word is GROW, even though I’m 53 I realize there’s still room to grow!
My word for 2012 ( and even 2011) would be “HOPE”. For Hope is the Belief and Faith in something un seen . Even when our Faith is waining, that same Hope is like that tiny little mustard seed that can move mountains!
My word for the year is POECEPTION! That’s right POEception. I’ve been living my whole life with everyone elses perception of who I am, What I can accomplish, Where my talents lay, etc… Well NO MORE! This year it’s Poe’s time! I want to put myself out there with my view of art & poetry. I’m claiming & embracing this for myself. I Follow & Tweeted this as well as FB’d it & I also follow ya in both places. Ya have awesome tips.
Hugs, Poe
