Word of the Year – Courage – Recap
As a way of setting my intention for the year 2008 (thank you Christine Kane), I selected a single word to help guide me. The word I selected was Courage.
Last January I wrote a blog post about why I selected the word, which you can read here: Courage. I’ve written about it fairly often throughout the year in relationship to my art career and life in these posts.
Yesterday my guest post on Christine’s blog was published. You can read how my year of courage turned out here (maybe no big surprises for my long time readers but you will learn about my 37 year old icing frog): Lisa’s Courage Post.
It’s been an amazing year. Yay!
I’m still thinking about what my word for 2009 will be so stay tuned as I’ll soon be writing about it soon, along with my annual summary of my art accomplishments for the year. It’s good to look back and recognize and honor all the progress we make throughout the year.

I caught up with the word posts and read yours yesterday. I admire how well you write Lisa-thank you for sharing so much about yourself and your life. I have learned so much from reading your blog-thank you for being one of my inspirations and reality checks. I know 2009 will be another breakthrough year for you. I too will be posting my 2009 word soon.
I’m coming here from Christine Kane’s blog. What an excellent post, and what awesome writing, Lisa! I love the word you’ve used for this past year – courage! It’s a word I can completely relate to – in the sense that this is where I’m at – a point where this could very well be a good word for me – seeing it here – it just is so empowering!
Thank you for sharing your word, and what it has meant to you – I am moved by what “courage” has given you this past year…
