The word I have chosen to sum up what I want for myself in 2009 is:
Genuine: Not Fake
"There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the end of strings that somebody else pulls." -Howard Thurman
I think so often I put on a show to make myself look better in hopes that people will like me more. I've decided that this year I want people to see me for who I am, faults and all. I want to be real, honest, and who God intended for me to be. I think there is something to be said for being Genuine!

Thanks for visiting. Yes, spelling Kasey with a "K" is way cooler than a C!!! You're kids are cute. And I think I am too much of a people pleaser. I want them to like me, and sometimes I don't voice my true opinion b/c I'm afraid they won't like me. I like your word.
Hello! Just stopped by from SITS to see a new blog. Thanks for letting me stop in.
I love the word you picked. And I've always considered you to be a forth-coming person who is not afraid to be herself, so in my opinion your already well on your way towards your goal!
I love you Kasey Helder! I find myself getting inspired & blessed unbelievably everyday of this new year! GENUINE....I love it.
ROCK ON! This word is my fav so far!
Hi Kasey! Great word. I think you seem very genuine to me. I have loved getting to know you! I love your spunk, style and spirit!!!
XOXO
