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!
Evelyn, thank you for following and leaving your thoughts. FOCUS is a marvelous word, and I will go find your newsletter to learn more about your journey. For all the negativity associated with social media and the internet, I have made connections with some amazing people in the past several years from all over the world. If I can support your focus in any way, know you have a cheerleader in cyberspace. Happy 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 💕
It is a small world. I started following Adriene four or five years ago. I really don't remember exactly when I started a regular yoga practice with her as my guide. When she announced this year's January Yoga theme, that was the second or third time"center" had popped up in my reading and thinking. Nice to know that every day I have someone across the globe practicing with me. I know that she has followers all over the world, but it just seems different to connect a name with one of those thousands of others. Namaste!
As I’ve read your posts over the last year or so, it’s amazing how we have many things in sync! Serendipity ✨ it is I deed lovely to know you’re enjoying her yoga as much as I do 💖
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 💖
Ellie, I sometimes underestimate the power of positive connections in my life. I come across research every day that points to the importance of building those healthy positive relationships. We just aren't designed to isolate, but it can take some trial and error to find what and who feeds our soul. Wishing you peace and joy as you strive to connect.
