I sort of half-heartedly made one this year to be more organized, but I like your idea of having a word/thought instead. I will post about mine on my blog.

I chose the word create as my word for the year. <BR/><BR/>My focus was to create a more peaceful and enriching environment for my children. To create beauty everyday through food, craft, art, photography, words, and mindfulness.<BR/><BR/>Even as I have come to the end of the year, and the word isn't in the forefront of my carrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05021071410789165309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248960025880732886.post-54028002544091932922007-12-31T03:03:00.000-07:002007-12-31T03:03:00.000-07:00what an inspiring post. just today i asked my husb...what an inspiring post. just today i asked my husband what his resolution was. he grumbled off something (not big into resolutions obviously), then he asked what mine is.

When so many are contemplating losing 50 lbs, saving more money, paying down debt, here I find you writing eloquently about the word "intent".<BR/><BR/>I too am going to try to practice "intent".
