…and the word was BOLD.
That's it. That’s my word for the year…no more tippy-toeing around.
No more “could I or or should I?” No more wondering if I can or I can’t.
No more peeking through the crack in the door...I’ll be standing there with it flung wide open.
No more waiting to be asked...I’ll be the one madly waving her arm in the air saying “pick me, pick me!”.
I plan to boldly go where Kate has never gone before…and don’t ask me where that is because I have nooooo idea. But if it's fun, exciting and feels good, I'll be standing at the front of the line.
I’m ready for it. I’m feeling plucky…resolute…intrepid…audacious even!
I plan on having a lot of fun with BOLD…oh, it may flatten me a few times, but it won’t stop me!
And I'm sending outrageously bold blessings to all you beautiful bloggers (and readers-of-blogs) today. Have you chosen a word to help shape your year? I'd love to know what it is!
(my BOLD picture was created with a handful of mossy twigs, grasses, tiny pinecones and a hydrangea blossom that was never dead-headed, from my garden. They were layed on a white background and then layered with a Kim Klassen texture.)
I LOVE your word for 2011, Kate! I especially love how you portrayed it in the image....clever girl! How awesome that you are pushing yourself forward into 2011 with a bold attitude...YAY!!! You can do it!

I really love how you are using BOLD--not to force yourself to do undesirable things or fearful things in a pressured way--but to having fun with it! I will enjoy witnessing how you are BOLD this year, kate!
My word is here:

And it's a big odd, but it makes sense, I think when you read the post :)

I love that BOLD is your word - and how beautifully you've displayed it!
Reading your post, I realize that I am not very Bold ~ and it is now a seed I've planted for potential. I like the way you're going to wear it.
May your journey stimulate and surprise you ...

I smiled all through your post (and chuckled with the Star Trek reference). Bold is such a good word! I hope you have fun and adventure as you explore boldness. Go BOLDLY, Kate! I LOVE your art...naturally artistic! You are inspiring :)

love your image...
my word is open
open to all possibilities
open to embrace what comes my way
open to seek out new ways...
I feel it will be a good year, just hope it doesn't fly by quite as quickly as 2010 did :)
