Resolutin No, Word Yes!
Happy New Years Everyone! Resolution time, no, yep, me neither. But it did occur to me to choose a word for the year that would be my motto. A word I could use to be my shining star and help me through the rough spots and inspire me to be the best me I can be. As coincidence would have it, some of my fellow artist friends (otherwise known as the FlyTribe) decided to have a word challenge. Cowinkie-dink? I don't think so.
This idea was inspired by a gal named Ali Edwards who shared her One Little Word Journey on her blog. She even has a class to help you with your word. Stop by her site and check it out.
I digress, anyway, the word I chose is BELIEVE. Believe in me, believe in possibilities. There were so many words I could choose but this one was the one that made me smile and feel good. A word that I didn't choose but chose me. Instead of thinking about it, I let it pop into my noggin. I almost chose progress, but that felt heavy and mean and it was definitely coming from the thinking part of me. So how 'bout you, what word could you say to yourself on a daily basis that would make your heart sing?
If you'd like some more inspiration, some friends of mine that I took Flying Lessons with are participating in sharing their "one word" for 2012 in a The FlyTribe. I'm sure they would let you borrow one of theirs.
Great word! I love the new years photo you used. Have a wonderfully creative 2012. Fly high!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Amy! BTW, love the shoe pics!
ReplyDeletebelieve is a great word, 'inspired' & 'focus' are resonating with me this year. Happy Believing in 2012.
ReplyDeleteLove the word "believe". I used to have a little prayer basket (actually it was pretty big). And the basket held little objects that women would put in it to represent their prayers. Every night for two years, I prayed for them. At the end of my prayers I would whisper...believe. In hopes that it would be a reminder to them...and to me...to believe in our dreams for ourselves and one another. I believe in you, Amy! I believe in your art (big fan) and in your heart! With love...Rae
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteYou are so fun! I love the word BELIEVE that you chose! The word BELIEVE comes to mind when I think of meeting you this year in Boerne, TX. I thought how unBELIEVABLE! So many talented beautiful women in one place! I BELIEVE that this community of flyers leads us to soaring heights!
Great post Amy!!! Best Wishes for an awesome 2012!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! Believe. I love that the word chose you. Love this: what word could you say to yourself on a daily basis that would make your heart sing? Cuz that's really what we all want and need, right? Inspiration that makes our hearts sing. Thank you! Happy 2012.

ReplyDeleteAmy....I love your word, Believe! I almost chose that one myself! I love how we are able to relate to each other's word!
ReplyDeleteAh believe, so important for us all to do. Sometimes hard, but if we can keep on believing in the life we want, the goodness of others, and ourselves, we might just be on to something. Let's get together again soon. :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes believing, especially believing in ourselves, is the hardest thing to do. You have chosen a good word for the new year. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such kind words. I wish you the best in 2012.

ReplyDeleteHmm, what would my word be...."momentum"....or "being" ...."masterhood" or "expression." I feel 2012 is THE year where we become our true selves. Challenges shape us as do our longings and desires. So excited to see what happens this year!!! XOXO
