I want to free myself limitations in terms of creating. I want to free myself from some extra weight. I want to free myself and family from financial burdens. Finally, I want to free myself from clutter. That's a lot, but I will be happy if I make small improvements.Ravengirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761473551410517900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-16955035366854930812010-01-09T00:32:20.500-05:002010-01-09T00:32:20.500-05:00DE CLUTTER.

But I have yet to settle on the particulars of it since it simply jumped into my head when I first read your suggestion that we choose a word for the year. I think that might have been on your Simplicity Blog. I tend to think "the Holy Spirit did it to me," when words jump into my head unannounced, so I'm awaiting "future orders", so to speak, because I know for sure I am to commit to doing something specific. What is it? I can hardly wait to find out!<br /><br />Thanks for the challenge, SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-59683478910190921902010-01-08T13:37:22.733-05:002010-01-08T13:37:22.733-05:00FOCUS!

I'm impressed!<br /><br />I think my word for 2010 should be "Discipline." When I became an expat, my life was thoroughly de-constructed. The formlessness of it was alarming at first and then liberating. I tend to resist too much scheduling but I think I need more structure in my days to help me better manage my work as a writer, artist, mom, and middle-aged person who needs MORE exercise.V-Grrrl @ Compost Studioshttp://www.v-grrrl.comnoreply@blogger.com
