My Word of the Year for 2023

I was able to complete 78% of all my goals for the year. I believe it was because of how intentionally they were created.

How Choosing a Word of the Year Changed My Life

When I look at these words, each of them brings back very specific memories and lessons from the year. That’s one of my favorite parts of choosing a word of the year, it’s reflecting on the end of the year and seeing how my word played out, often in the ways I didn’t intend.

Today we rested. Two naps. Read the newest Magnolia magazine. Had leftover pizza for lunch. Read. Watched some travel videos. Enjoyed the day. This piece has been on my “want” list in my phone for over a year. I finally purchased it for my office as my reminder that “who at the worst, if (s)he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that [her] place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” State Park #7 for the year at Codorus State Park! The road trip where we got engaged 🏔️🌲🦬 Are you working from a never ending to do list? When someone asks how you are, is your natural response, “busy”? Do you move so quickly you forget to take in the moment happening around you? Does it feel like life is just passing you by? One of my favorite hikes to date 🌲🥾 Our wild child 🐶❤️ Adventure always 🥾🗺️ Hiking in French Creek State Park! Beautiful even in the winter.
