I want to embrace my life in 2012.
Everything about my life...the happy and the sad.
I want to embrace the time spent with family.
We don't know how long we will have them.
I want to embrace what is important to me.
My relationship with the Lord, my husband, my children and grandchildren and my calling.Our dreams and our hopes for our future together.
I want to explore my creativity and try new forms of art.
I want to embrace all of life's moments.
I want to live in the moment and not let life pass me by.
I started a "Scrapbook Life Journal" class with Stephanie Ackerman this year. The word for January is:
The Journal prompt is: "The most important person to be honest with is yourself."
The Scripture is: "You're blessed when you're content with who you are...no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought". Matthew 5:5. (the Message version of the Bible.)
I want to embrace this journey that I am going to be on this year.
There is going to be soul searching, laying things down and growing.
What is your word this year?

Beautiful. My word is NURTURE. I wrote about it yesterday.
Embrace. A lovely post on this word...and funny... I hadn't thought of a word for the year. DO you mind if I use yours? I love these thoughts...I want to embrace every moment I am in.
Thank you friend.
Have a wonderful day, and here are to the blessings this year holds for us...to Embrace.
Hello, Lynette! Your posts are always so meaningful, deep and encouraging to me. Thank you for sharing. I have just looked this word in the dictionary. I like this meaning of embrace - willingly and actively accept. I also like the project you'll be part of and the Scripture.
All the best to you and your family from snowy Moscow:) Happy New Year!
LOVE your post and your word!
Mine is "create" as you saw :)

Love your word for 2012! I chose the word ENJOY!
I haven't chosen a word but I love yours. It relates to my mantra; embrace every moment, whether good or bad. Here's to embracing all that life throws at us and making each moment count!! You are blessed Lynette!
What a beautiful word for 2012! You always inspire me. I need to find a word for this year...I think it will be: Faith, this year I'm trying to really study the scriptures along with finding faith in myself again, to accomplish my goals and to care for myself. Hopefully if I can take better care of myself, I can also care for those around me better.
Thank you for sharing your journey with me, I truly love reading your posts.

Embrace also says "Being in the moment"

my word for the year is PAUSE. to pause before i speak, before i freak, before i jump in and offer to help, before i say yes and before i say no.
Stunning word for you! I am sure it will serve you well. I already had to hang on dearly to my "hope" this year.
