I started the practice of choosing a word of the year several years ago. Looking back I am surprised at how my word unfolded differently than I expected and yet not at all surprising. Unlike previous years, my word for this year came to me as a great surprise. And though I wrote about it in my personal journals, I never talked about it here because quite frankly the word scares me. It scares me because it contains an opportunity to change...something which I continue to struggle with as I'm sure many of you do. Because of that fear of change, I really felt called to be quiet with it and let my word teach me a few things before I shared it. So what is my word for 2012? I created this wordle using synonyms when my word made it's presence known.
I made several different versions and hung it in places where I would see it many times a day. 3 months into this new year as I check in with myself about how things are unfolding, the word I was so private about has been taking a different shape than my fear riddled brain could imagine for it. Emergence has been filled with far more grace and ease than I imagined. I feel positively giddy with excitement with all that has come forth I want to acknowledge this...celebrate it. And why not? There is so much to celebrate! Let's make a list shall we? Grief has lifted it's heavy veil and I feel as though I'm truly emerging from a deep dark sleep. I find myself looking forward to my mom's birthday this month with great joy despite still missing her presence. Starting Project Past Life is growing into a wonderful family bonding experience as pictures and stories from our family's life together are emerging after nearly 10 years being stuffed in a footlocker unloved and unremembered. And this website continues to emerge, grow and evolve! New online workshops, meditations and product are emerging from my creative cauldron just waiting to be shared. I still love sharing and growing this space with y'all...that's 'you all' in the US Southern dialect. See? Even my southern is emerging! The more I EMERGE and share myself with you here, the more gifts I have to celebrate. I want to send each of you who've read my blog, responded to posts, and subscribed to my newsletter the most deep and sincere gratitude.

You are so welcome Erin! Looking forward to seeing how your word is unfolding for you! 5/3/2012 13:59:16
I too embrace small doses. All that matters is that you are moving in the right direction. And emergence is a process in itself. Congratulations! Comments are closed.
