Hello - OLW

 There is always lots of excitement about the start of a new year. 
There is new hope for better things to come, excitement about what might lay ahead. 
One of things I love about the start of a new year is getting in touch with my OLW.  Again this year I have signed up at Big Picture Classes for Ali Edwards' class One Little Word.  I did this last year however I never finished it up.  My hope is that this year I will see the year out and complete the whole class.  Thats where my OLW comes in, to do the things that are more important to me and to make time for these things, to find balance.

 The prompts are the same this year as last year but instead of putting each month together as set out in the class I have decided to stick to my own format which I think I will find easier.  One of the first things get to do in to investigate our word, to find meaning to it and to spend some time thinking about our OLW and where we want to go with it.

 I really enjoyed last night, sitting in my craft, in the quiet and searching the internet for information about my word. 
I found words like - even, harmonize, level, poise, readjust, set, stabilize and steady. 
I liked all of these words, they will be a constant reminder of how I want to live my life.
I also found this definition which will become my mantra - Mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behaviour, judgement, etc.

Some of the things I want to invite into my life for 2012 are:

time to breath,

good choices,

space,

quietness,

growth,

learn to use my time more wisely,

its okay to say no,

more time for important things,

good health,

positive wealth,

passion,

abundance,

joy,

happiness.
