My Word for 2013 is...
(drum~roll please....)
"IN"
as in...

"I am IN!" & "Count me IN!"
"IN the moment"
"IN the moment"
"IN my prayers"
"IN my dreams"
"IN my jammy~jams"
"dancing IN my kitchen"
"IN Action"
"a twinkle IN my eye"
and
"Karrl~IN!!!"
(HA!... get it...Karrlin... that's me!!!!)
and
"Karrl~IN!!!"
(HA!... get it...Karrlin... that's me!!!!)
All alone the word "IN" might seem somewhat meaningless. When the word "IN" is surrounded by lovely, meaningful, positive, purposeful words... "IN" becomes amazing, exciting, positive and fun. I love "IN" for my word because it is so versatile. This word makes me responsible because I have to be IN ACTION and bring the other words to join with it to make it
WONDERFUL!
Similarly... this year I choose to surround myself with energetic, lovely, meaningful, purposeful people, thoughts, and activities!
When the words surrounding "IN" are positive and well thought out... they can lead to excellence, creativity, peace and FUN. I need to take this approach with my thoughts this year too.
Also, I can walk with the attitude that I belong where I am... and I am "IN" and it will be so for me. If I choose to go with the opposite negative side of that... feeling "outside" of things... well forget that!!! This is the year that I put and end to that ~ and just know I'm "IN!"
This year I choose to approach life with a positive attitude; I will bring the "I am IN!" attitude along with me wherever I go.
Part of my decision to have this word was this comment that I made in response to joining a word of the year group:
"Drawing a blank for a word that will light
up my life... (sing that song) but count me IN!"
.jpg "http://karrlinbain.blogspot.com/2012/12/nostalgia-treasures-art-by-karrlin-bain.html")
When I use the word IN I am typically being active, positive, supportive, AND often times I am also having LOADS OF FUN!
See for yourself.... these are my comments and the portion using "IN" is highlighted in blue...
I just added in this missing statement "I am also blessed enough to belong to artist's communities online and can view art to my heart's content. Thank you artists for making my every day like a walk through the loveliest of galleries!"
Okay I JUST PAID AND SIGNED UP... WHAT IS HAPPENING NEXT... I gave her 3 minutes and I am not in a group yet!!! Just kidding... YAY!!! Thanks for taking me with you ladies!!! EEEeeeeekers I'm excited.
in addition to prayer
... plus plunking in YOUR beautiful art... right now I am gearing up to learn so I LOVE your blog as it has been. I already ordered one of the books you blogged about and plan to get more as I can....
What a bunch of amazing ladies and comments up above here!!!!!! I will keep you all in my prayers over here too! <3>
You are not alone in feeling bummed... big hugs!
but today at "Thanks~Christmas" at my mom-in-law's house I got Christmas and birthday (Dec.27) money and can put it towards Life Book 2013... so my whispers are turning into an action plan... YAY... I am signing up soon and am in for sure!
oops not yet... when I say "meager scratch and sniff collection" above that is about STICKERS... just in case no one was around doing that at the beginning of the 80s
when I was in the 4th grade... What would appear to be possible self promotion is actually a quest for flags.... That is my statement. Love to Flyers in so many COOL FLAG PLACES OF THE WORLD.... Here is the super cool flag tracker site:
I'll keep you guys in my prayers!
Oh wait... I WAS in FLYING LESSONS so I CAN say it.....
love me NOW in my sane~craziness
I want in... need to save for it.
I have my cart before the horse in a big way and that is my plan and I am loving it... : )
Checking in
You are SO IN that mag!!!!!!
I have not been an artist and am not really yet even... just a twinkle in my eye...
I'm coming along maybe... if I can get in... no camera... I'm in jammy jams!
and was in heaven
I suppose this is enough graffiti for one night... think we will get in trouble... class is done! O:)
Actually dancing in my kitchen with joy... dancing for joy... in my kitchen... not with someone named joy....
eekers... I googled and got something not so nice! Oh good... thank you...
I was in Danger!!! ; )
I was in Danger!!! ; )
In my heart... I am shopping your shops!!!! Hi Flyers! I think it is so cool that you are having a Flyers only sale and I just want to say I am buying vicariously!!!
Oh and I must bring in the Bible here... it does say somewhere that we "LEAVE OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND CLEAVE TO OUR ART BUSINESS".... right?? I know it was something like that..... hmmmmmm??????? ;)
keep on hanging in there!
Matthew 18:20 New International Version (NIV) 20 For where two or three gather in My Name, there am I with them.”
I typically like to stick my head in the sand but want to try to help
that is great because you tried and are "in action!"
... I could do in the end was poemify my pain... haaaaaaaa!!!)
what I am trying to say is your work is very moving in a peaceful way! ; )
... just like in "Ice Castles"... does that count?...
... click links in internet circles!!! (internet square dancing... "click your browser round and round.....") ; ) It is perfect! I love it when I can fast find links for peoples other pages on each of their pages!...
party in the future. ; )
Another factor to consider ~ the definition of the word "IN" from http://www.merriam-webster.com/ and http://dictionary.reference.com/
My fave definitions of IN from the above 2 dictionary sites are as follows:
- to or toward some destination or particular place
- on good terms
- in a position of assured or definitive success
- in vogue or season
- in production
- a condition of clarity
- keenly aware of and responsive to what is new and fashionable
- one who is in office or power or on the inside
- located or situated within; inner; internal:
- well-liked; included in a favored group...
- plentiful; available.
- in with, on friendly terms with; familiar or associating with: They are in with all the important people
- used to indicate goal or purpose
- informal in it joining in; taking part
- in with associated with; friendly with; regarded highly by
How about it, are you IN?
What is your word for 2013?

Hey, Karrl-IN!!! I think I'm going to start calling you that! :-)

Hahahaha, Karrl-IN (to borrow Becky's line)!!! You are too funny, you are so hip, you are IN! IN-side your head and IN-side your heart, create the silliest and the deepest space for us all to be IN.

Happy New Year!! xo
