Words

every year for the past

several years i have chosen a word or phrase to focus on, a bit like a mantra; a word that represents something i am
feeling needs nurturing within.

last year, 2010, i chose:

(courage comes from the Latin root "cor" which means heart)
it was perfect! so many moments i needed to remember that i am brave, that i have moved through fear before, that i could chose to keep going even when i felt tiny & terrified, even when
i had to face down BIG SCARY things, uncertain results
and nasty side effects. with hope (09's word) and courage
i got through all the things that tried my heart this year.
so i thank you courage!
and i thank you God for all the blessings of 2010.

Welcome 2011!

the words for this year found me
and were so so perfect that i got teary when i read them.
i will post about this soon but
am waiting for a beautiful handmade piece
containing them to arrive...yay!

are you choosing a word to focus on
and nurture in 2011?
please share.

peace and all good things to you.
