I'm a big fan of Lisa Leonard's handmade jewelry. This month's featured design is a word of the year necklace. It's customized with whatever word you want to focus on this year.
What is your word of the year for 2009? I've still got to think about this, and when I come up with mine, I'll post it in the comments section.

'Believe'
Just one word? hehehe!
"GOD"
That's tough. I have commitment issues, especially if I can only have ONE word.
I'm going to give it some more thought but the first word that came to mind was "focus".
Okay, you sort of had my hopes up that you were doing a Lisa Leonard giveaway, LOL.
Okay, word of the year: SIMPLIFY
Hope
If I'm feeling pessimistic - MIGRAINE. Near-daily now, and hoping the New Year's lifestyle change (along with a visit to my neurologist next Thursday to reevaluate our treatment plan) will improve things.
And, if I'm feeling more optimistic - LEARNING. I've learned so much this year, through mentoring new teachers, researching health and diet issues, teaching 7th graders and always finding more effective ways to convey the concepts, and consistently working on my relationship with my husband and daughter.
(Molly's word, BTW, is TWO - she's been practicing her two-year-old ways for months now, perfecting her scream. This year has been the second year of her life, and on New Year's Day she will officially be two.)
Joy
My word would have to be:
WORK
When I tend to start to feel anxious, worried or self-centered, it is through WORK that I get my mind off my troubles and things work out when I work them out.
I have found when I do my Part, the Lord steps in and helps me with the rest.
WORK
CALM. Which is closely related to the ever popular "Peace", but I have been focusing on making our home a sanctuary of calm and removing all elements of chaos from our lives. We have been having so much more fun as a family since I (as the momma) have been creating our calm home.
Hope Beckiwithani feels better soon
My word would have to education. Since i will be starting classes this month.
It all comes down to LOVE for me.
Happy New Year!
I think my word would be Balance.
Blessed
Great words! Thanks to everyone for participating!
My inclination is "RELAX" but I'm still not 100% sure....
Harmony.
I love this idea.
My word for 2009 is Health.
My work for 2009 is:
INTENTIONAL
