Last year I began my journey with one little word – Savor. Last year this word taught me to celebrate life and delight in it. This word wrapped me tightly as I dealt with the memory loss and helped me to see the good through all the bad. It was a perfect companion for 2011.

Now that 2012 is moments away, it is time to say goodbye to Savor and hello to my new word…

I want 2012 to be more than just celebrating where I am at. I want to go to new places, try new things. I want to be brave, bold, and not afraid to get out there. I want to leave behind the baggage of the lost memories and reach for things that are in this moment all mine. I want to say hello to the new Jackie and not worry about what the old Jackie would do. I want to explore. I want to learn. I want to discover. I want to REACH.

Elden and Rachel are joining me on this word journey. They have each chosen their own words for 2012 and as a family we will be keeping our words active in our lives.
