2023: Streamline
Intentional. Simplify. Invest. Persevere. Small.
For the last five years, these have been the words I’ve chosen as my word of the year.
When I started thinking about my 2023 word, I was tempted to return to a few of these.
2022: The Year Of Small
I love choosing a word of the year; it helps me be intentional about a focus for the year and is a simple way to keep myself on track. I started brainstorming ideas for a 2022 word in December and made a list to consider, but nothing seemed quite right.
2021: Persevere
We made it! 2020 is over and 2021 is here.
2020 was a lot. It not the year we expected. It was full of surprises and cancelled plans and difficult news and hard days. The calendar flipping to a new year doesn’t make everything better overnight, but it’s a sign that we are moving forward, a needed reminder in a year that has often felt like time froze in March, when everything shut down.
A New Year, A New Decade
2020 is just around the corner, and it seems appropriate to reflect on both the past year and the past decade before the ball drops and a new decade starts. Ten years. A lot of life happens in ten years.
