Word of the Year 2023

Have you ever just paused and watched your day? If so, you may notice repeated conversations, behaviors, and interactions. It's easy to sort of sleepwalk through life and simply repeat and/or respond.

Folks can live their whole life like this.

Sometimes, a jolt will shake you out of slumber, making you wonder if there is more to this whole experience called life. Other times, the dull glaze that coats your day prompts a curious wonder - is this it?

Since you are here, reading this, you most certainly are not in the early stages of awareness. No, you probably have all kinds of ways to master this game called life. You probably tinker with tools & techniques all the time - me too.

Something I incorporated a couple of years ago with astounding results was picking a Word of the Year. I remember it like it was yesterday. First came this welling feeling in my tummy, then an excited declaration. "I'm doing it! I'm choosing a word of the year!!!" 

That year?

BIGGER

Results? 

Not what expected!

I felt like I'd been playing small in life & my business. I was ready to expand! I did. AND…

That year brought bigger health issues, bigger business success, & bigger ahas. It was WILD, but it felt ungrounded. When you choose 'bigger,' you can go higher, sure, but also lower. I ended that year feeling a little beat up by all the 'bigger,' so in 2023, I chose a different route.

Ah! I won't do that to myself again, nope, I think. I got really quiet, listened to my wise inner-self, and the word BALANCE dropped in. Sigh of relief; yes, clearly, balance is precisely what I need!

Well, as we are in the last days of 2023, I can tell you this: for the second year, running my Word of the Year feels like a cosmic joke. (in the best way possible). When I pictured the word balance, I saw myself like an elite surfer riding the waves of life, business, & relationships expertly to the shore.

Did this happen?

Sometimes.

Did I get pulled under the undertow?

Many times.

Here's what I have discovered.

When choosing a Word of the Year, be ready to SEE what is not that. So for balance, I saw every single damn place I was out of balance. I'm stronger and more aligned because of it, but it also requires tending to the ramifications of being out of balance. No (Wo)man is an island.

Despite all that, I'm hooked and already have my Word of the Year for 2024. This one came in like a freight train from the universe, so fingers crossed it'll be gentler than the preceding ones. But, whatever happens, there is no denying that this practice of picking a Word of the Year is powerful. And, of course, it is because it's an intention, and intentions tend to work like your soul navigation.

In the first year, my word was chosen from my ego & mind; these last two have been selected with the help of my intuition, which makes all the difference.

In January, I will be sharing all about Intention and Intuition on YouTube. 

Learn the power of intention, how it's different than affirmation, the science behind intentions, and how your life and business will excel with this simple practice. We will also dive into while understanding your unique intuitive language. A key to working with intuition and getting clear guidance. It's easy to mistake intuition for an activated nervous system, the mind, and more, but learning how to understand, accurately read, and get clear guidance is a game changer.

With how things are going energetically, I can attest that these videos are required if you want to thrive in 2024 - let’s go!
