one little word...

One little word can make a huge difference in your life, in your thinking, in your actions...

This year is the first year I am participating in Ali Edward's "One Little Word."

This year, along with making a few New Year Resolutions, I am choosing "one little word."

I starting thinking about this about three weeks ago. One word, a word that can make a difference in my life, make an impact, inspire me, help me, be with me daily, in my thoughts and actions.

I want to embrace my children, my husband, my relationships, my work, my body, my fears, my LIFE!

I want to live in the now. I don't want to take anyone or anything from granted. I want to embrace what this world has to offer me kicking, screaming or with a smile on my face...preferably with a smile on my face.

I can't wait to embrace 2012 and all it has to offer!
