    Thanks for the reminder! I think this year I'll go with:
    SHINE - to give forth or glow with light. To appear bright, strong and clear. To excel and direct my light.
    I'm thinking if I focus on shining in everything I do, the positive feeling that creates will be reflected back to me and attract everything else.

    Recently I sat down to work on some journaling, working with a set of questions I read on someone's blog. One was "what do you really want out of life?" I sat with the question for a moment, expecting to come up with a laundry list of awards, accolades and accomplishments. What burbled up into my mind, though, was "a peaceful heart."

    So in 2009 I'd like to move towards a peaceful heart.
