Invite to Word Hop 2014

The Fly Tribe invites you to join us for our Word Hop 2014.  Towards the end of the year we choose a word that will be our guide or theme for the following year.


In early January 2014 write your Word Hop 2014 blog post about the One Little Word you have chosen to describe your intentions/guide/theme/mantra for 2014.  On Wednesday, January 1st, 2014 I will publish another blogpost where you can link your Word Hop 2014 blog post and leave a comment with the word you have chosen in it.  When you have time during the month you can hop around to other people's blogs and read about their word and leave a comment so they know you popped by.
 
Here's the link for the button for you to put on your blog:

  About One Little Word Ali Edwards writes

Can you identify a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2012? It can be something tangible or intangible. It could be a thought, or a feeling, or an emotion. It can be singular or plural. The key is to find something that has personal meaning for you. This is not your mother's word or your spouse's word or your child's word - this is YOUR word.

One little word can have big meaning in your life if you allow yourself to be open to the possibilities. And here's one thing that is totally interesting: sometimes a word will pop into your brain and it will not make any sense to you right now. Give it some time. Let it percolate a bit. I have often found that our hearts speak to us in very unique ways. Maybe this is a word you need to hear but just aren't ready for it yet.

Thanks everyone for joining in, if you have any questions then leave them in the comments below and I'll answer them.  I look forward to reading your Word Hop 2013 posts.

 Here is some more information on choosing a word to guide you through the year with thanks to Christine Kane, Dec 2007.

March Blog Hop - Shoe Shots

Hi Everyone,

I've always loved these shoe shots photos that I've come to associate with the online art community.  This months blog hop is real easy - just grab your camera and point towards your shoes and take a shot to upload to you your blog.  You can make it a regular shoe shot or you can make it as fancy as you like.  If you'd like to blog about your shoes or just leave a photo - that would be great. Spread the word and add a button to your blog - the more the merrier as we love shoes!!!

Post your blog on March 19th and then pop back here where there will be a post published at midnight Coordinated Universal Time and will stay open for a week with a Linky for you to add your blog url. 


Here's the code for the button:

Big Love and Bear Hugs,

WordHop 2012

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!
