3.1.12

Word

I was visiting one of my favorite spots, and found a very good group of posts about having a different word for each year that you practice. I love that idea! I had come up with a list in my journal, but nothing really spoke to me. Then this morning in the shower my word was given to me. 

For some reason I get a lot of inspiration during showers. It could be that this time is the only moment of my day (and night) that I am truly alone (except when JH manages to give his dad the slip) when I can just be, I am sure many mamas can relate.

I was fretting about something that I felt was out of my hands, and was coming up with ways I could 'control' the situation. Then a feeling of calm washed over me, and this word appeared in my head:

TRUST
Yes, I think that is just right for me. Do you have a word for 2012? I would love to hear it and how you chose it!

  1. I'm late figuring out my word, but after the events of the last few days, I found it. My word is RELEASE. Gosh, there is so much to release. For the last 18 months I've carried around resentment towards someone who derailed my career and pitched my family into financial crisis. We are smart and innovative, and we have overcome it. But it's been hard, and every time we have to change something or give something up, I remember that what this person did was illegal and he's getting away with it.

    I've stewed and fussed, but now I see that it's all going to work out. I have a business now that doesn't pay much but I pretty much laugh all day. That's priceless. And karma is working it's magic and the whole system is about to come crashing down on his head. I see now that I needed to release all of this months ago, but now I have done it. I'm going to work on releasing things instead of fretting so much.

    I need to release things. I'm sentimental, I keep ticket stubs and flowers and things I might use in my crafting, should I ever have time for that stuff again. I see that my grandkids aren't going to have the least bit of interest in a picture they colored for me when they were 3. It's priceless to me, but not to them. My house and attic is full of things that need to move out of my life. Release.

    I need to release some people. There are a few toxic people in my life who stay there because they've been around so long. Release.
