My One Little Word For 2012
It didn't take me long to come up with my little word for this year cause there is one major problem about me that is bothering me all the time - I am keen on 'storing' things. Getting, storing, sometimes even sorting out but never using. I can spend hours downloading and saving some great materials for teaching from the net but never apply them later. I can spend money or time on obtaining a certain skill and never put it to practice. I can buy things, put them on my shelves and forget about them.
So the word which I would like to plant in my mind for this year and let it grow and influence my actions, is 'use'.

One little word project
Lisa's post on 'Teaching with Soul' blog inspired me to choose my little word for this year.
This is a project from Big Picture Classes website. Here's the idea: (copied from Big Picture Classes)
One Little Word 2012
A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and slow. From my own personal experience, it can be a catalyst for enriching your life.
In 2006, I began a tradition of choosing one word for myself each January - a word that I can focus on, meditate on, and reflect upon as I go about my daily life. My words have included play, peace, vitality, nurture, light, and story. These words have each become a part of my life in one way or another. They've been imbedded into who I am, and into who I'm becoming. They've been what I've needed (and didn't know I needed). They've helped me to breathe deeper, to see clearer, and to grow.
CHOOSING YOUR WORD
Can you identify a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2012? It can be something tangible or intangible. It could be a thought, or a feeling, or an emotion. It can be singular or plural. The key is to find something that has personal meaning for you. This is not your mother's word or your spouse's word or your child's word - this is YOUR word.
One little word can have big meaning in your life if you allow yourself to be open to the possibilities. And here's one thing that is totally interesting: sometimes a word will pop into your brain and it will not make any sense to you right now. Give it some time. Let it percolate a bit. I have often found that our hearts speak to us in very unique ways. Maybe this is a word you need to hear but just aren't ready for it yet.
Again, be open to the possibilities.
