INSPIRING AS EVER! Thank you for adding your words. If by chance I missed your word or you posted it later in the day yesterday feel free to leave it in the comments here and I'll add it to this list.
There's still time to join the One Little Word class at Big Picture. Actually, registration will be open throughout the year for anyone who wants to join in 2011.
The word cloud above was created using Wordle.
Accomplish.....Thanks Ali!

My word for 2011 is green. I am resolving to eat more green. To continue to make green (earth friendly choices) and to save more green as we near my husband's retirement.

oh - my word is BOUNCE! kinda 'do' with fun and attitude!! Bounce -ing like Tigger, Bounce like Bon Jovi's song. non-stop. I'm trying not to stop this year...

Ali, forgive me if you've already answered this, but I can't find it: last year you gave us a link to a website that illuminated our word. I typed in "awaken" and got a beautifully illuminated little word. Can you give us that link again?
Hi Laurie - for some reason I can't remember what you are referencing. Let me look back through last years posts and see if I can find anything...

Moment. To be in the moment with my children and husband, to not be worried about what I should be doing or what isn't done. For all the precious 'moments' I have with my quickly growing kids- and the not so great moments. Slowing down moments before bedtime when my children want to tell me everything. Breathing deeply moments when there are lost mittens and conference calls that need to be dialed into. Prioritizing my moments and balancing what needs to get accomplished. Moments for myself. Moments- wonderful ones and not so great ones- that teach me to appreciate where I am at this exact point in my life- this brief, shining moment in this very precious life of mine.

I've had a really hard time choosing a word until Dawn in comment #3 pointed out that almost every letter of the alphabet has been represented. I looked and saw there are no words for K. The more I thought about it, this word speaks to me: KIND.
Yep, that's it. Kind to others, kind to myself, kind to the world.
Thanks for the Wordle.
I love it. I was surprised to see k wasn't represented when I went back and looked at the "missing letters" as well.

That's quite the list! Thanks Ali for all the time you put in compiling that so that we can all be so inspired! Love the word cloud too, very cool.

hi Ali, My word is FLY. Can you still squeeze it somewhere in there ? :-). Its a tiny word but I feel it is really going to take me on a BIG journey.

I havn't posted a word yet but mine is going to be 'work'. Might sound kinda strange but I think it is really fitting for me right now. I really want to focus on "work(ing) out", "work hard a my relationships with my girls", focus on my daily "work (at home & at my job".
I love how you do this each year. Thanks so much it is really inspiring!

Very inspiring! I love the wordle- what a cool way to showcase all the words.
I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I'm looking for a word that captures the idea of "enjoy the journey/ride". I haven't been able to narrow it down to one word. Any ideas?
How about "relish"?

I totally love that someone's word is "badassery." Can that be my secondary word? I can't stop grinning.
Isn't it awesome.

What a beautiful cloud! I just found out about your blog after posting elsewhere about my own word, after reading about the concept on The Happiness Project blog. Mine is already in your list: Today!
Thanks for all you're doing, it rocks.

"raise"
This is such a great list and I, too, love the word cloud idea!

Love the list of words. I actually changed mine; the more I began to think about what I wanted to keep in mind this year, I decided that I needed to go beyond focus, beyond simplify... I wanted something I could take action on. So I decided this year I would always keep concious of VALUE.
I want to explore and identify what is really of value to me, financially, ethically, physically, and in my surroundings.
Thanks Ali. Looking forward to putting my book together in class. :)

Ok, who's word is "iron"? LOL!
I can't remember her name but she had a great comment to go along with it - I remember thinking it was such a cool choice.
