The FlyTribe is excited to share another blog hop with you. Around the end of last year, several Fliers began sharing the words they had chosen as their guiding word for the new year. As artists and creatives, we work together to inspire each other, so organizing a blog party around the words we were choosing to be our teachers for 2012 just felt right.
Choosing a word to lead you through your year became a trend in blogging several years ago when Ali Edwards began sharing her One Little Word journey through out the year. She found that it is a simple but powerful way to bring meaning to your life. Her one little word has now taken off and grown into a movement, a movement we are excited to take part in.
Below is a list of posts by FlyTribe members and our guests who are creating their lives with their own little words. We hope you will join us as we adventure through the landscape of the web to support the writers' journeys and to be inspired by them. You can expect that over the course of the year these artist/blogger might share posts that follow the insights offered by their word, including works of art that specifically explore what their word has come to mean to them.
If you would like to claim your own word for 2012, leave it in the comments below. If you have a blog post that features your own little word, feel free to join the hop!
The FlyTribe will be creating a collaborative art piece with the words left in the comments, along with our own, to be shared at the end of the year. The proceeds of sales from the piece will go to charity.
We would also like the thank Ali Edwards for inspiring us and creating a space for us to grow as individuals and to come together as a Tribe. Thanks, Ali!

ReplyDeleteMy word is "gift" and it has multiple meanings for me this year. Already, as I've been living with it, it has revealed more and more to me.
Happy 2012. May we all stay true to our words.
xo

ReplyDeleteOK! Up and running! Thanks for all the help, Rae!
ReplyDeleteLooks great everyone! Just got my post done and my "button" working... going to visit some blogs now...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to view everyone's words and how you put your post together!! I get so many great ideas here!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I didn't take the e-course, a friend of mine did, and she is very excited about what it has done for her. Since it is being offered in 2012, it might just be my next investment in myself! P.S. my word is "commit"
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful to be a part of this group. Thanks to all you Fly Tribe ladies for everything.!
ReplyDeleteYippie! What a wonderful feeling to be in a bloghop with all of you together. Thanks Rae for offering this to us !! Off to read some blogs ;-)) Take care,
ReplyDeleteFrauke
It may take a day or two (or three!) for me to get to every one's posts, but I'm looking forward to the inspiration! Thanks so much to Rae for her hard work organizing this -- and to everyone else for their participation!
ReplyDeleteMy word is FOCUS
ReplyDeleteMy word is reveal. Yes that's an odd word, but in my case appropriate. Art does reveal much about us and how we personally see the world. In my case,as I am a reincarnationist, the reveal of past lives is a matter of continuously spiraling out information that has definitely affected my own art.
ReplyDeleteMy word is Well-Being
ReplyDeleteIt was very difficult to figure out a way to express my word (Balance) through yarn, (I'm a fiber-artist) so I decided to go the other way and represent a total lack of balance, and explain why I chose the word as my inspiration for the year :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to be able to join in with you all and share each others words this year! My word for 2012 is SHINE.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great experience. Not ever having done a blog hop I hope I did it all right. My word is honesty. I am so thankful to all of you for keeping me believing and moving towards being a better artist and woman! xxx

ReplyDeleteyay!!! So excited for us!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this idea. I have not decided on a word but I know it will come soon.
ReplyDeleteWell somehow I missed that we were signing up again and not using our original list... whoops! Finally got my post up and resigned here. HOpe I'm not too late...

ReplyDeleteMy word is persevere :) Blog post to come :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to join in with such a wonderful group. My word is Nuture.
ReplyDeleteWhew...barely made it. I may be late to the party, but I still intend to dance! First Inspirational Word, First Blog-hop...First Blog! Word is "Contribute". (Will take a year to fully define it I think...!) Happy New Year everybody!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for doing this! I will really look forward to reading everyone's posts.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome to be able to be a part of and I gain so much inspiration from reading everyone's posts about their word and what makes it personal to them!
ReplyDeletethere seems to be a lot of word choosing in blogland these days. I'm participating in a Book of Days with Effy Wild who also asked us to choose a word. Mine is "enough". I have enough, I am enough, I've had enough, etc etc. It's amazing how this manifests itself in ,y life everyday. Today, for instance, I'd had enough coffee at 1pm, but couldn't say no to my co-worker who was going out for more...now, I'm dealing with that indulgence I didn't need. Tomorrow, I will try again to remember I am enough, I have enough, and stop when I need to
ReplyDeleteHey thank all you lovely ladies for this experience! When I read that there are others that feel the same things I feel it doesn't seem like such a big scary world to live in because I come to realize we are all more alike than we are different. This has been fun.
ReplyDeleteMy word for 2012 is Elegance.
ReplyDeleteI finally got my post up! I didn't want to miss out on this fun part of our journey together! Now to finish reading everyone's blogs - they are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read all the posts yet, but am so thrilled about this blog hop. Thanks Rae for putting this together.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, everyone! It was such a pleasure to share in this journey with you. I also enjoyed reading everyone's posts. xoxo
ReplyDeletecan't wait to read everyones word! so exciting.
ReplyDeleteMy word this year is... serene!

I want to thank all of you for participating. For the first hop on our FlyTribe Blog, I think this was richly successful. I especially want to thank those of you who are flying with us for the blog. The FlyTribe came together out of the generosity and guidance of one creative soul, Kelly Rae, and we love getting to pass her style of support and encouragement on.
ReplyDelete~On behalf of the other Fliers, Rae

Hello there, I discovered your site via Google at the same time as searching for a similar matter, your web site came up, it looks good. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.

Traci here- my word is Worthy. I will remind myself that I'm worthy of of all good things such as abundance, compassion for myself, luck, happiness, acceptance, joy, etc. So many times we stifle ourselves and let fear get a hold of us. By reminding myself I'm worthy then I have an affirmation to combat negative thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI simply couldn't go away your website prior to suggesting that I actually enjoyed the usual info an individual supply to your guests? Is gonna be back incessantly to check out new posts
ReplyDeleteHey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My website covers a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
