Rock...What does the word mean to you? When I turned one of those 'f' word birthdays, I decided to host a Women Rock party, whereby participants bring a rock graced with a word or words of significance to them. Each rock was added to a basket and we all randomly picked from it. The rock chosen graces our homes for a year, with the word on it binding each of us, as we think about what it meant to the person who brought it and what it has come to mean to the person who chose it. Over the years, these rocks have provided countless inspirations and comforts as we go along with our daily routines. They are reminders of our friendships, our aspirations and our lives; the rock as a symbol of strength, support, and solidity. Here are some of the words that graced our rocks: La Bella Figura, Balance, Chapters, Read swim drink - repeat as necessary, Acceptance, Faith, Gratitude, Healing, Hope, Journal, Perfection is an Illusion, Kindness, Climb more mountains watch more sunsets, Emerge, Explore, Grace, Perspective, Bling.....What would your rock say?
(If you would like to participate in WeekWord please leave a comment by Thursday in order for participants to link to your blog and see what you have come up with. I will post links to participants blogs on Friday. Thanks and I hope you have fun with this!)

Thank you all for making this so interesting! It is amazing how one little word conjures up so many meanings. No rockin' chairs for any of us yet! (So sorry, I couldn't resist.....)
