focus would be my focus if i had a focus. maybe in 2009?

My word of the year is "reveal" - like another poster I also had the word made on a little pendant to wear as a reminder for the times when I was feeling a little less like revealing. For me I took the word as shorthand for "not hiding". And it has been a great prompt for me to become more visible - opening an Etsy shop and starting to blog too.

Hi there -

Thanks so much for the reminder. You inspired be to write a post about it on my blog.

All the best to you, always!

Amazing to read this post today... I just checked my mondo list 2 nights ago by chance - and realized I could cross off 3 things! I had declared 2008 the Year of Taking My Lists Seriously... I think I'm on the right track, even now that it's August.

Andrea, thank you for all of your insights and inspiration. What a special human you are!

Like others, I totally needed this reminder. 2008 is my Year of Reconnecting. I had three goals:
-to feel like I'm on a very real path to marriage (which I do feel and we've taken a pre-marriage class),
-to have even closer relationships with my loved ones (still need to work at spending more time with them...it's hard to balance with work),
-and to take better care of myself (I have sucked at this but lately started getting back on track).

Maybe I'm not doing as poorly as I thought. Here's to the rest of the year!

sorry I meant for the comment below to be for your previous post! silly me

Thank you for checking in! I declared 2008 as my year of fearlessness - a word which I see on the necklace I wear practically everyday, sometimes along with my superhero necklace :) At first, my intention was to BE fearless. To have no fear. But seriously, who has no fear? So, I have shifted my focus a bit. Now, I allow my fears to pass through me. I give myself the time and space to experience them. To look at them from every angle. Sometimes this takes a while! But I am learning to be patient and gentle with myself. And now, looking back at what I have accomplished this year, and even looking forward to future plans (like Squam!) I realize just how many fears I have faced. What a delicious feeling!

2008 is my year to go pro with my artwork. So far, I've sold a bit, gotten my own studio, and overcome some of the fears that go along with this process, but I still see so much more that needs to happen... thank God the year isn't over yet.

Good question. I don't think I did this technically, but I did this in spirit.

My goals for 2008 were

To Live Life Creatively
To Be an Artist/Writer Out in the World
To Be Happy
To Ride the Wave.

I think I have been doing pretty well on this, despite the multiple setbacks and funks and obstacles. That is where the last goal comes in, because you learn to ride the wave that is life and trust that life will come back up, and you can maintain the happiness and the forward motion. I am still waiting to see how far I get with actual results until the end of the year, because there have been so many babysteps, and I need to see where they go.

As I posted on Ali's blog and my own, Connect is my theme for the year. It changed as my needs changed this year. I found that word kept popping up in my art, my photography, my writing...everywhere.

It explains my awakening this year...it explains why I went through one of the most challenging times of my life this year. It explains why this year has been amazing and scary all at the same time. It explains why I am blessed.

2008 has not been anything like I planned...which is obviously a good thing. God has a bigger plan for me.

Thanks for the reminder. My mondo beyondo (and I completly forgot about it) was this:
- creative-everyday-lifestyle with my bf and little one
(did not accomplish that,been dumped a week ago, but now - to be honest - the chances are even better)
- find a new publisher, who publishes the manuskripts I really care for
(found one)
- found a theatre and do the pieces I develop and direct (feels most scary)
(made steps in this direction, feels not so scary anymore)
- dare to call myself an artist (okay thats even more scarier)
(I can do that now, wow! Feels great)
So for the next half of the year it is the creative lifestyle, finding back to who I was, finding a new way to life. And work some more on the theatre piece.
So I declare the second half of 2008 as my (half-)year of finding back to my own creativity and myself and being the mom I want to be.
Thank you Andrea.

Trust. That's my word for the last third of 2008. Just trust.

Trust. This is my word for 2008. Just trust.

Trust. This is my word for 2008. Just trust.

Trust. This is my word for 2008. Just trust.

Holy cow! I had totally forgotten about Mondo Beyondo. Thank you for the reminder. I'm actually doing well, though unbeknownest to me, with my themes for the year. I've been working on my decluttering, I donated a bunch of clothes to Goodwill a few weeks ago, and I recently re-met someone and the timing was right.

I have a little more to continue to work on - more decluttering (which, ironically, I restarted this weekend), more donating to do, and I need to focus on my marathon coming up as well as that weight isn't everything.

Thanks again for the reminder! Sometimes it is good to look back.

i declare 2008 the year of self care and creating my own joy!

that's what i wrote back in january. i am certainly making some big moves to create my own joy! while the journey has been rocky. i believe i will get to the other side of this feeling free to be more joyful and alive.

Wow. That was quite interesting. Since you wrote that post, my five-year relationship ended, I moved, am in creative and financial flux - generally in the waiting space before Great Change.

I wrote: "2008 is my year to celebrate what did get done, what did happen."

So I guess I need to celebrate what happened, even if it's not precisely what I would have chosen for myself. Now THAT'S a good reminder. :)

Thanks, Andrea!

I'd declared 2008 my year of:

**Opportunity
**Abundance
**Prosperity
**Plenty
**Creation

It's so easy to fall into a "lack" mentality instead of a "plenty" mentality. Thanks for the reminder.

I too needed a reminder.
My word for this year was "change"
So far...I am making small changes, de-cluttering my house, losing a few pounds, trying to be a more patient parent, and making more time for my own creativity.
Some days I do great.
Others...not so much.
But, I am a work in progress and sometimes I need to check myself to see how I'm doing.
Thank you for reminding me to stop and focus on my goals, and make any necessary adujustments to keep myself on the right path.

Blessings to you.
:)

i'm so glad you reminded us of this...mine is truth...being true to who i am and living my life, the way i create, the way i go about my relationships....expressing who i am, being who i am, and letting the chips fall where they may.
