Ali Edwards had this great idea to choose one little word to live by for the year. To quote her
"A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can sharp and biting or rich and soft and slow."
My word for 2009. CHANGE

I Want and NEED to change. Change the way I eat, change the way I feel about myself, change how much I spend and save, change my childlessness, change my priorities, change how much I scrap - Just CHANGE.
And so Here is my daily reminder card hung on my monitor at work so I see it every day
Like a butterfly I need to change myself into who I want to become. No more excuses, no more being lazy. The time has come for me to do this.

good for you. i was thinking about this, too, and i think my word might be "me." yeah... seems a bit egocentric, but last year was kind all about baby... and i think it might be time to focus on me.
here's to 2009... and change!
love you, girl!
