How fun! I love your word, rejoice. It is so you. I can't remember if I told you before that I have an aunt named Joyce. She has always been so sweet to me & when I was younger my family called me "Little Joyce" because I looked so much like her. Look forward to hearing more from you this year about your word and what fun you're having with it! Karen,

When I wasn't looking for it ... I was thinking about the word 'joy' which has special meaning for me because my best friend / Mom is named Joyce and my middle name is Joyce. I was thinking of my Grandparents, who I was very close to, who named my Mom and how they started this focus on 'joy'. I imagined them rejoicing when my Mom was born - and there was the word: rejoice. I looked up the meaning. Of course it means to be joyful and glad. It also means 'to enjoy the possession of' which reminds me that if I can be an open channel, what I imagine and desire with my deepest creative and loving energies, is a done deal. I am in possession of joy and my desires now. Laaa! --Karen I found my word!

Thanks for sharing it with us. I am working on becoming more conscious too - in every aspect of my life. This is a challenge for me as for years I have been a super multi-tasker! Keep us updated with your progress. I'd love to know how you're doing. ~Diane Shannon,

Here is the definition: "A result or effect that is intended or desired; an intention." As in, is what I am doing right now something that I consciously intended? I want to focus my energies on doing things that are meaningful to me. These might be big things, such as building new community for myself or finding a place to volunteer. But on an everyday basis, it will be little things, such as choosing to do yoga or writing or making a garden rather than doing purposeless activities (like playing video games).

I love it! I haven't come up with a word yet. I feel like I'm still recovering from the holidays, orienting myself into 2010. I know that for me, in winter, I need (and I mean deeply need) some down time and sometimes I think my energy just gears down to make sure I get this down time. Kind of like a tree that looses all of it's leaves in winter, my energy just naturally turns inward toward my roots. So I'm looking forward to my word and my orientation to clarify as we move further into the year. Thanks for your inspiration! And Katherine - you too! I'm going to let your word and intention for the year inspire and energize me! --Karen Hey Diane – thanks for this blog post! I love it! I haven’t come up with a word yet.

The 1st question is, "What is your sentence?" The 2nd question is "Are you better today than yesterday?" Does that 2nd question sound familiar? It's what we talk about all the time in the IAM Learning Community. It's why we're here. What an adventure!

Thank you for sharing your word and intention with us - what you wrote is wonderful! Interestingly, your word fits with mine quite nicely. I went on a walk after I submitted my post and thought more about all the ways I can use "enamor" to guide me this year. One of the ways was discerning when I am not enamored. In that case, I would know that this is not a relationship or situation I will invest in. ~Diane Hi Katherine,

I had just written my weekly intention blog post about choosing a theme word for 2010 and then opened my email to find the info about this blog post. Talk about synchronicity! I'll share both my word and the intention I created for it. My theme word for 2010 is discernment. My statement of intention is "As I step into the lifestream of 2010, I easily and effortlessly discern whether I will say a joyful “YES!” to what will move me closer to my big vision, or a “thank-you, but no, thank you” to that which will not serve me. And so it is." How funny! I had just written my weekly intention blog post about choosing a theme word for 2010 and then opened my email to find the info about this blog post.
