The quote on my photo says "You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." ~ Kahlil Gibran. Very literal since I'd just donated 9" of hair! And all my regular visitors will recognize the photo I'm using to represent my Year of Kindness project.

I'm doing my One Little Word assignments this year in a Smash album, so I've had to modify a bit from the handouts Ali has provided, but I'm finding that easy enough and really enjoying the ease of the pre-made album.
The quote in this spread says "In a time lacking truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of its lost heart." Louise Bogan. Bogan was an American poet and these lines were probably written during the Great Depression of the 1930's, but they are still just as true today. And the cornerstone on which I'm basing my work with my word KIND{ness} for this year. I want to give back to the world a piece of its lost heart.

You have such a comprehensive range of intentions to nurture all areas of your life, and I wish you every success. Looking forward to celebrating achievements with you through OLW ...
An interesting post that I enjoyed reading. I like the word 'kind'.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Big plans deserve a big cheer..and you have lots of us cheering you on
If our Fitbit partnership is any indication---you're well on your way to your physical intentions---which to me can be the hardest thing!!
Some great intentions there,Cheri.
Great job on these pages Cheri & getting your intentions down. I like the idea of decluttering one thing a day. I'm doing really good on my work with one area of the house at a time - 2 down, 24 to go! :>)
Great post! I love your intentions page, and think I will add a definition page to my notebook for my OLW. It's interesting how many of our intentions are similar, yet our words are quite different!
You seem to be well on your way. I wish you good luck with all your intentions - they are lovely and so worth it.
Oh these are lovely - so nice to see them all together. Looking forward to seeing how your year of kindness develops.
I really like how you're approaching your word with the whole concept of a "Year of Kindness". Very cool. And I think the Smash book is going to work out great!
Cheering you on from my little corner of blogland.
I loved your share. We have a lot in common. My word is nature, but in reading through your responses it seems that it would be nice to know you more. I am glad that I found your blog through the OLW bloghop!
