I love the word awesome; we should bring back awesome. I always have. Ok, yes it started in the 1980’s when awesome was, well, awesome! I remember going to the Puyallup fair and getting this spray paint art that said “awesome Ann” and hung it in my bedroom.
Let’s bring awesome back. We all deserve awesome. Awesome is inspiring. Awesome is fun. Awesome is being a great you, every day.
Awesome is doing you. Awesome let’s others be them. Do you want to bring back awesome with me?

Thanks, Ann. Great photo. Love the concept, but don’t care for the word. Like “like”, “groovy”, “far out”, “rad”, “whatever”, and all the rest, “awesome” came to be so overused it could mean almost anything. Or nothing in particular.
But all the admirable qualities you list call for a distinctive word like “awesome”, so perhaps we ought to coin a new term. And we’ll watch it become overused and meaningless in time, just like “awesome”. How about “unbelievable”?
I must say that I love AWESOME! It’s a choice I can make every day to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary – audacious – awesome. As we face the rigors of life, this approach can make a huge difference.
I want to be awesome. Sometimes I fall down and when I finally get back up the awesome spirit comes back. Here’s to learning to be awesome, always. Here’s to learning that falling down can be awesome too.

BTW, Ann, I wait with baited breath for your book!
Actually, I still used the word awesome. Sometimes its simply the most suitable word to use and nothing can truly replace it!
Awesome! I use this word a lot, but I will no longer feel apologetic about it. It is still awesome to me. And I love the word (okay it’s a name) Puyallup. I’ve actually been to the Puyallup Fair, way back in 1983 or thereabouts, and I’ve never forgotten that cool name. Pew-al-up. Dare I say it? Yep. It is AWESOME. Let us all own our awesomeness today, even if it takes practice!
You are absolutely awesome Ann! Look at the impact you’ve had on so many lives.
