if- I absolutely agree that this is one of the most amazing words in the English Language. It creates endless possibilities for anyone who chooses to believe that anything can happen if you believe.
ingenue- This drums up an image of innocence. Which, "innocent" by the way, didn't make the "I" list! Hmmm...not happy about that.
kangaroo- another discrepancy with this list....there is no other K words listed?? What about kryptonite, kabob, kaleidoscope, kamikaze, karma, Kauai, kazoo.....? You get the point. K words are just too much fun to not include.
lagoon- this word is a languid retreat into the depths of cool water- ahhhhhhhhh. While, in the dead of winter this may not seem so refreshing, it is a great mental escape for those of us in cement prisons, shackled by our Macs and to-do lists.
lilt- rock on.
love- over-used and misunderstood? Yes. But, this word is our soul's most powerful component. It captures a snapshot of heaven in this fallen world when we actually get it right. Awe-inspiring.
lollipop- yummy.
mignonette- Anything that makes me feel like I can speak french is beautiful in my book. Vinegar and shallots anyone?
moment- If anything can change in one of these, bring it on!
mother- we all have one...and some of the lucky ones can make this word synonymous with best friend.
