A few of the blogs I read have recently mentioned Ali Edward’s One Little Word concept. Each year, Ali chooses a word for the year. What is this word for? In her words:
“You live with it. You invite it into you life. You let it speak to you. You might even follow where it leads. There are so many possibilities”
I’ve been thinking about my word for 2011 and one that keeps cropping up is FREE.
2010 was a pretty tough awful year for me, despite the outward smiles. I want to be free of that past year, and feel the freedom that 2011 will bring.
Free to me means being at liberty, spontaneous and easy. I am looking forward to my year of FREE.

Boy do I love that word for 2011 as well! I want to be free of the bad stuff that me and my hubby went through last year. I want to be free of baggage from past years. I want to go out into the future and feel liberated and free to make my life better and enjoy the good things that are thrown my way!
Last year I felt trapped a lot. Trapped on a path that I thought everyone wanted me to go down. Trapped in grief and unable to celebrate the small things that would normally make me smile. Trapped in depression. Trapped in my body image!
Thanks for the inspiration! May you be as free as a bird this year 🙂

[…] Leah currently brought to my attention the one word concept started by Ali Edwards. The basic premise of the one word concept is that you choose one word that you want for yourself for the year. […]
