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.

Sometimes best friends can help you polish up your word...I've been batting around classic, essential, all trying to get to the one word - BASIC. Thanks for the push Ali!

Every year when I get Christmas cards I am reminded of old friends that I haven't seen in a while - people who I really enjoyed during the "season" that they were in my life.
My word for 2011 is "Reunion." The more I think about it the more I know it is the right word for me.
I am going to be proactive in reuniting with old friends. I have a list of them I plan to call on.

Ali, you are infectious, in a good way! I am a high school teacher and today, I challenged my 165 students to take on "one little word" to inspire them in 2011. They love it and we will be creating a huge word collage on our bulletin board. Thanks for your infectious inspiration!!!
That is so, so awesome.

If it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon, I would like to add my word. It is refresh. In this new year, I would like to take bits and pieces of my life and rejuvenate them. Thus my word! Thanks for inspiring me to join you in this journey!

I so enjoyed reading through this list.
My one little word for this year is "seriously". I took time to find a website that translates into various languages and did a wordle using my word in Italian, German, French and Irish - the countries of my ancestors. Gonna be a fun year. Seriously ;>

After mmuch deliberation I settled on "aware". It felt good when I exhaled and i liked that it automatically had me pricking up my ears and listening.
That's one of the tests I use - the exhale test :).

After spending weeks thinking I've finally settled on SPARKLE-to be brilliant, lively or vivacious. Really, that's how I want to feel, I want my house to sparkle, my children, my husband, my friends. I can bring some sparkle to myself and to everyone around me. I'll be able to start the class in a few weeks, I'm excited.
