I chose "thoughtful" as my word this year. I want to strive to be more thoughtful to others, but also want what I do in my work, and for myself, to be more thoughtful.<br />wishing you the most wonderful year of your life in 2011.<br />thank you for being my friend.spread your wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011822215520854377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-7334181935597032702011-01-04T17:25:29.213-06:002011-01-04T17:25:29.213-06:00ha ha now that was something, i've been readin...ha ha now that was something, i've been reading all these blogs where people are choosing words and i didn't just want to jump on the band wagon either, but it made me think if i chose a word for 2011 what would it be....and i chose acceptance to, because i realised this year that for the last 13 years to be accepted by the people i was with i had to be someone other than who i am i didn't accept myself so i am silently choosing acceptance for myself too.<br />Char all the very best in 2011 i really do hop this is a great year of change and prospering and acceptance for you oh and me<br />hugs<br />xoA Box of Chocolateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305220579732409554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-32643280285224843802011-01-04T16:13:49.069-06:002011-01-04T16:13:49.069-06:00i never fit in with the cool kids, and that's ...i never fit in with the cool kids, and that's alright by me. i am nodding, my head.

The journey brought me home, if that makes sense. So I choose a magical word this year, believe. I felt like I lost the meaning of believe in 2010. And this year, I welcome the magic back into my life. I believe it will be a good year for us both. xoxoCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740738041547883989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-68928878138256665702010-12-30T22:24:48.317-06:002010-12-30T22:24:48.317-06:00happy new year.. you are a very special lady and I...happy new year.. you are a very special lady and I relish each visit here..blessings friendELKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935251214683485912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-70021666349851810372010-12-30T21:14:55.561-06:002010-12-30T21:14:55.561-06:00I love the word you chose and think it's a per...I love the word you chose and think it's a perfect one.

I couldn't remember where I had read about someone having picked one in the past (I'm fairly new to your blog). I picked "order" after several difficult years. I really love your word.

Thank you for the comment re: my recent ...Hi Char,<br /><br />Thank you for the comment re: my recent LOVE illustration and yes I will have giclee prints of this piece available next week in my etsy shop.<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/shop/29blackstreet<br /><br />I have been thinking about choosing a word as well. 2010 was a year of big change for me - some fantastic and some very challenging. When I read your word "acceptance" for 2011 I instantly thought <br /><br />"Acceptance" now that is a very good & kind word <br />My word in-process at this point (less than 48 hrs away) is "focus" - how lame a word is that ??<br /><br />I do feel scattered though ... thanks again. I'll let you know when the prints are ready.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-91294639708295072372010-12-30T16:22:30.648-06:002010-12-30T16:22:30.648-06:00btw, one more (obnoxious, i know) note: i LOVED yo...btw, one more (obnoxious, i know) note: i LOVED your entire series in November on being thankful. thank YOU for that effort. great words and great photography.Jg. for FatScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092383933256144130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-45068292669340241832010-12-30T16:19:42.017-06:002010-12-30T16:19:42.017-06:00Char -- terrific as always. so nice to read real,...Char -- terrific as always. so nice to read real, heartfelt words like yours. there are not enough adjectives to describe how impressed i am with your post. perhaps b/c we've gone through similar difficulties and struggles (a very real journey that we're both still on) that i identify so readily with your blog (and been impressed with your photos) the last couple of years. whatever it is, you are speaking -- when you launch those words and images into the ether -- to so many of us. and connecting. and inspiring yourself and us to be, well, better, improved, made whole.<br /><br />all the best for a terrific 2011, my friend.Jg. for FatScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092383933256144130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-72627028734800560082010-12-30T15:33:14.116-06:002010-12-30T15:33:14.116-06:00I love your word...and the fact that you have &quo...I love your word...and the fact that you have "accepted" your past and all that it dealt you.
