Enjoyed your newsletter, Kathryn. My word for 2022 was "YES"--say yes to adventure, taking risks, trying new things, being bold. I wrote about a few of these adventures on my blog. My word for 2023 also found me on New Year's day during a walk around the neighborhood. It's FOCUS and I expect my January post will elaborate on this one. Wishing you a centered New Year!
I’ve chosen a word of the year for a few years now. Interestingly, Yoga with Adriene on YouTube has their 30 days of yoga challenge with the word Center as their theme this year.
My word of 2023 is Flourish. It’s been percolating for a few weeks, popping up in different forms. I feel it in me! Embodying the word helps 💖 I’m enjoying somatic writing too, speaking of embodiment. Thanks for another thoughtful post 💕
Lovely post (and poem), Kathryn. I've never thought of having a word for the year. What a great idea. I haven't tried this before, but I am certainly up for a go. I like your word for this year, 'centre' - it's so important to be able to centre ourselves, especially when searching for a moment of calm within the fire. I used to meditate, which helped with that. I'm very out of practice, but perhaps, that should be a goal for me this year. It would do me good when I'm feeling so stressed, and the anxiety is bad. As for a word for 2023, I'm going to choose 'connection' because after ending my counselling last week, it will be too easy to shut myself away on my own. I need to start connecting with people and friends to be less isolated. I have made an effort to begin doing this already. It's not easy, but I'm sure it will be worthwhile. Thank you for planting this seed of an idea into my day. Xx 💖
