My Word for 2009

January 1st, 2009 sounds wonderful, doesn't it? When I think back on how fast this year went it is amazing. It seems that each year goes by faster than the one before.
As I start out this new year and think what my "word" for this year will be, following Ali Edwards challenge for us each to have a word to focus on through the coming year. Last year my word was "Believe", I love that word, it has so much potential to it and I truly do believe in so many things. When I thought about my special word for this year I chose "Inspire".
It was the other word besides "Believe" that I couldn't decide between last year,
so I'm going with it for this year.
Inspire
1. to fill with emotion
2. to stimulate to creativity or action
3. to breathe life into
4. to instill courage
I am inspired by so many things:
Books
Magazines
Art
Music
Nature
My family & friends
Pictures
Other peoples works
Life in general
I have been inspired to expand my in home classes and give up teaching at the store I have been teaching at for 5 years. I am excited to go forward with this, the classes I have had in my home so far have been great. I have all my supplies right here and can get anything I need in a moment. I have ordered great things to support my classes.

I have a plaque on the wall above my desk that has the word "Inspire" on it
and I can see it every day.

I hope to be able to inspire those I teach this year and those I interact with each day. I know that I am inspired each day by those around me and the things I see and hear.
