I shared much of this in my monthly newsletter, but I thought it was worth re-posting…..
Every January, I choose a word for the year… not as a goal or a rule but as a kind of companion during the year.
Last year, I PROUDLY announced that my word would be NEXT….What’s next? What should I be doing? What’s the next project, the next idea, the next thing to finish?
It kept me moving… and it also quietly wore me out.
This year, my word is ABIDE….
To abide means to remain, to linger, and to consider what comes next!
It is a word that asks for presence instead of progress.
And honestly? That feels like a deep and satisfying breath.
This is what I have posted at the front of my diary….my “hopes” for the year…..
I am looking forward to a year of ABIDING!!
What are you looking forward to?
