THEE WORD .... the word to carry me through 2012...
the word i would lean on, hold gently, place in my pocket.
i thought and thought ... pondered ...
did alot of reading ... to see if anything jumped out at me,
truly resonated with what i want this year to represent ...
what i want to carry with me throughout the next 12 months ...
and then some.
after a long walk on the beach yesterday,
listening to the pounding of the waves .... it came to me.
it nestled into my heart and jumped into my pocket.

free, release, rescue, save, deliver, discharge,

unchain, unbind, manumit
so i am ready ....
ready to liberate from:
any chains that are bound around me
ready to liberate from:
any chains that are bound around me
carrying the burden of other people's choices and actions
things i cannot control
worry about what others think of me
unnecessary expectations of myself and others
worry that if i do it ... it could be all wrong
prejudices, negative thoughts, the gremlins
worry of "not being good enough"
jealousies
all the "shoulds" that i lug around day to day...
....i could go on and on
but i am doing it ...
i am liberating baby!!!!!
wanna join me?!?!
peaceandlove,

Well Hello Miss Kolleen,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!! Isn't there something larger than 'us' that makes us look forward to changing the calendar. I am 'in love' with your 2012 word. I believe LIBERATE will carry you though this year while providing 'fun' opportunities to 'let loose'.
Since you are sharing yours, I will share mine. Ready? Stronger .. I want to feel stronger in all aspects of my life. And just so you know ... my word for the last 3 years has been the same; "Simplify". I feel I am finally mastering that word, so now I need to switch focus and become stronger. It takes strength to send those people to the moon ... right? Anyways, I wish you all the best and huge successes to you in 2012. Big Hugs!!
Sure do!!...want to join you that is. Last year my word (probably prompted by you) was HOPE. Where I am standing right now..choosing liberation & already feeling the resistance..I am shouting yes! LIBERATION was what this year was already all about for me....I love the confirmation. Now if you'd said your word was manumit I wouldn't have had any idea what you were talking about...but I do now! To a year of release, deliverance & emancipation! Thanks Kolleen! Much love Catherine xox
ReplyDeleteKolleen, Kolleen, Kolleen, I love this word! So powerful I just want to shout it from the top of a mountain. I am really looking forward to seeing all that unfolds in your life as you liberate. Sending you lots of love. xoxoxo
