But for me, there is too much pressure in finding the perfect word :) But I think if I narrow it down to what I have been thinking and processing lately, that one word would be Authentic. I want to learn who I am - me. Not who I am by the roles I play over the course of a week - but who I am on the inside.<br /><br />I am very much looking forward to this discovery over the next twelve months.<br /><br />I absolutely LOVE your pink sky photos. And who I am is someone who wants to learn to capture the world around me in such a beautiful way!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383213396413989191.post-73518760144423507722012-01-11T04:50:43.534-08:002012-01-11T04:50:43.534-08:00Authentic is a perfect word.

But being yourself is the best person to be -- love this thought and your photos, Carola.

I don't believe one has to be "transparent" to be authentic.

I think we, and many other blogging friends are on the same path of finding the balance of revealing our true selves.

It can be a little distracting looking at everyone else's words... they all sound so great, but in the end it is a very personal choice that no one can make for you. And why not hold on to a word that is serving you until you are ready to add a new one (notice I did not say to let it go, because I believe that once we have them, we keep and own them!)LOVE your pink skies!!pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994187495930211144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383213396413989191.post-31599766566578834242012-01-09T14:43:35.061-08:002012-01-09T14:43:35.061-08:00Wishing you the joy in 2012 of becoming yourself -...Wishing you the joy in 2012 of becoming yourself - and thinking of Katie and the loveliness she brought.alexahttp://simplyalexa.typepad.com/trimmingthesailsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383213396413989191.post-19137069973379510532012-01-09T14:38:19.368-08:002012-01-09T14:38:19.368-08:00I like your new old word, Carola!
