So happy to have this new year here! This past year had a lot of bumps in the road for our family. There is just something about having January come around. The feeling of a fresh start and recommitting or committing to goals and new changes.
The past several years I have picked a word to focus on for the year. You can read more about it here. Ali Edwards does such a great job with this. If you look here she has a list of tons of words you can choose from if you are having a hard time coming up with your own.
I usually start thinking ahead of time about my new word, but this year I completely forgot about it until I saw new words popping up everywhere. The past few years my choice has been very easy. This year I struggled with it and the ones I had been thinking just didn't seem to fit. Then it finally hit.
My word for 2011 is STRENGTH. At first I just shrugged it off and tried to think of a new one, but I found it coming back over and over through out the past few days. So I finally decided to just go with it! Tonight I took sometime to play around with some photos and the word a bit. It was nice to take some time for just me! Something I need to work on more this year!
So have you thought of one little word that will help you to push yourself into a new direction and hopefully better your life? I may need to have this photo printed up and hang it as a daily reminder!
"Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing"








Love your choice. Isn't it funny how one comes to mind and we try to choose another and the first one keeps coming back. Glad you went with it! Here's to a great year!
