{2012 Word of the Year}...

My 2012 Word of the Year

I think this poem sums it up perfectly.

Faith

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have

and take that step into the darkness

of the unknown,

we must believe that one of two things will happen...

There will be something solid for us to stand on.

Or, we will be taught how to fly.

~Patrick Overton

Happy New Year to all!

Please forgive my slowness in responding to comments.  I just can't seem to catch up.

{2011 Word}...

My word for the New Year  is 

BELIEVE

 2010 was the first year I chose a word, as my resolution, for the year. 

As I looked back on 2010 and my word which was Expect. 

I was amazed and blown away by it. 

 My intention (see original post here) was of

expecting more,  

more good,

more blessings,

more happiness,

 to be able,

to Expect anything.

At the beginning of 2010 I would never have thought I would be able to

replace my old worn out carpet, or get a new tile kitchen counter top,

or have a lower house payment to boot,

but I did.

I didn't think I would be doing my own art show,

but I am, in May 2011 at the Tis Gallery.

I never expected to take a trip, but my Sister and I did,

to Colorado.

And that is just at the material level.

I have also experienced more, deeper and meaningful

levels of personal growth.

And at the same time I realized how surprised I was at my level of disbelief. 

So for 2011 it's BELIEVE.

Believe in Love of God,

Believe in Oneness,

Believe in the beauty of life,

Believe in still greater good,

Believe in the perfection of the world,

Believe that all things are possible with God,

Believe in happiness,

Believe in abundance,

Believe that everything will work out for the good,

Believe I can overcome any obstacle,

Believe in the abilities of my family,  

Believe in Myself,

Believe in...

Happy New Year to you All

{2010 Word...}

Ok, yes I know it's March already and that New Year's resolutions are

started at the beginning of the year.

It's not so much that I am just now getting around to choosing a "resolution"

it's more like I am just getting around to posting it.  And getting something ready to put on the sidebar.

I've never really been into doing "resolutions"  but when I came across

the idea of a word for the year I really liked that.  So I took a moment

to think what might my word be... and  Expect is what first came to mind.

Expect... good things

Expect... to be able

Expect ... abudance

Expect...success

Expect...the life I am meant to live
Expect... things to work out

Expect...anything

eXPECT...????
