Matter of fact I have been focusing on the thought of "2012 the year of plenty". <br><br>To say enough is not good enough.....if I'm honest I want plenty...a full or more than adequate amount or supply. I want plenty, financially, physically, emotionally and spiritually. <br><br>I'm expecting PLENTY!<br><br>Now we will see where that takes me as I continue to follow your blog thru this year. You've done a fine job of starting the connection. <br><br>Hope you have time to go to www.roseyroads.com <br>I know, that's a website but it's really just a blog for now....and that's plenty for now. ;-)<br><br>Hugs<br>BethBeth Hendrixhttp://www.facebook.com/RoseyBethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007567606813352980.post-22877714638590661962012-01-09T01:21:06.000-06:002012-01-09T01:21:06.000-06:00Yea!!!

Looking forward to more and having another bloggin' buddy.<br><br>Funny you should ask about a word for 2012 - I've been pondering that for a week now and still not sure what mine is. I'm leaning towards Expansion. I want to expand in 2012. NOT physically (done enough of that in 2011-ha)!! But in my gifts and talents. I desire to grow deeper in Him and in myself. Reach out further, do more, learn more in my hobby (photography.) Travel more. Expand my borders. <br><br>Great first post!

However, standing behind the degree is a scary, daunting shadow called lap band. Clasped it its hands, no guarantee for success, but rather, anxiety caused by the thought of becoming a failure. <br><br>The word "bittersweet" will, undoubtedly, morph and change in to new words as the year goes on. Already, this year, I have successfully injured my back causing the date for my scary shadow, lap band, to be delayed. <br><br>If all goes well, school and lap band alike, then my word should be something like...Success. Or, Overcome. I believe "Overcome" suits nicely. I suppose I should say the timid side of me says 2012 will be bittersweet, but the positive and, unfortunately small, optimistic sliver of my emotional pie chart predicts 2012 to be the year to Overcome.Michelle Clarkhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=576961332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007567606813352980.post-39769174971490102062012-01-09T10:38:50.000-06:002012-01-09T10:38:50.000-06:00And overcome you will!

I want to make the effort to open up those relationships again. I also, in my new career venture, feel that building up a network of fellow agents/brokers/vendors and members of other service industries can only do good things to improve and expand my business in it's budding years. Finally, I have my goal of becoming more spiritually involved at Fellowship church. By attending regularly and volunteering, my fellowship at church can assist in my personal and spiritual growth.<br><br> 2012 is my year of Fellowship.Ryan&Real Estatehttp://ryanandrealestate.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007567606813352980.post-63546497640946602802012-01-10T14:13:06.000-06:002012-01-10T14:13:06.000-06:00I love your word and the motivation behind it.
