In addition: OPEN to the New Year

Have you chosen a Word of the Year?


Apparently, a Word of the Year is the new New Years resolution and I look forward to getting started with mine (insert smiley face here). A little late is better than never!


My word for 2012 is OPEN and was recently inspired by several different areas of my life. My heart and my head.


I want to be completely OPEN!
Open-minded (not so much that my brain falls from my head)
Open to new beginnings.
Open to putting the past where it belongs.
Open to change and Open to routine.


Open to new outlooks.
Open to Questions (without knowing all the answers).
Open to the perspective of others.


Open to the sound of laughter and endless story-telling...and open arms to endless hugs.


I'm Open to group discussions about anything under the sun and Open to opportunity knocking at the door.


I want to make certain I am Open to criticism and Open my eyes to areas I need to work on to be the better person I strive to be daily.


I remain Open to suggestions and Open to positive influences.


I Open my mind and I Open my heart to the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and opportunities surrounding me.


I Open my door to any family, friend or foe and will do so with a smile.


I'd like to Open this New Year with Open arms and continually Open a path for the wonderful things this year is to bring.


I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year; full of optimism, strength, talents, courage, faith, love, and hope.




“Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.”
(Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
