2009 Word of the Year

A trend in the scrapbook world has been to choose a word to focus on for the year. Words like joy, achieve, simplify, balance. Folks make a small token with the word on it and hang it where they see it every day. It's not just for scrapping, but for living your life, though you can build an album around the word.

I've decided that my word for 2009 is

LOVE

I am committed to living a life of unconditional agape love.
This begins with accepting the love of God.
It allows me to love myself, as a child of God.
It overflows into the love for my husband, children and extended family and friends.
And it expands into loving actions at work and in the world in general.

Whether you choose a word for this year or not, there will be something that guides your decisions, your actions and your life. Is it love?
