Hi Crystal, my word is weaving. I don't know if it is the right word, I have to see how it goes, if it brings me anything. It's not that I want to do the traditional weaving but I found that weaving is a verb that corresponds to the word connecting. A quite famine activity indeed, nevertheless I found out it's also referring to my art and actual life. It appears to be a key in our language. So the word itself is interesting enough, I take the freedom to see what it does for me : to have this word WEAVING for 2024. Hope you have a good time and thanks for the writing!

My word for this year is - INNOVATe . What I have to change is to actually spend some time in my studio instead of in my yard.

A ‘word’ had chosen me. “Radical self-care” is my word and so far 2024 has been a challenge to my health, both physical and mental. Coming off a severe bout of jet lag has me taking some strong steps towards self-care recently, and I know this mindset needs to follow me into the new year and beyond. If I don’t take care of myself, what’s the use of any busyness or productivity I point to? I read a quote somewhere, “take time to care for your wellness or take time to care for your illness” and that has really resonated with me. So here I go. ♥️

Other years I have been impatient and chose a word. It never stuck. This year I decided if I word didn’t chose me I would not bother. One day while journaling I got the word connect. It has appeared over and over this month. Also I have had some really profound connections with

Total strangers. I think waiting was the key.
