Oh, hey there 2024! Did that just kind of sneak up on anyone else, or was that just me?

I’m excited for a new year. A new year, to me, always feels like that fresh new page of your planner. A whole new week full of possibilities; except this is a whole new year of possibilities!

This is my second year in a row now not doing resolutions. I’ve learned over time that was a pressure for myself that was actually pretty unnecessary in hindsight. I just try every day to do my best, be a good person, serve people around me and make good choices. I have some goals of course, but nothing massive (or unobtainable). It’s really working for me. I like this. It was kind of hard to let go of resolutions, but here in year two, I am pretty proud of it.

I do have a word for the new year though! I do really like the whole word thing. This years word is:

This means a lot to me for many different reasons. I want to be better at following my heart this year. Listening to it, trusting it, giving it credit and validating how it feels.

I want to be good on other peoples hearts, too. I want to lighten hearts, help them, lift them.

I want to strengthen the hearts in my family. I want to help my kids trust in their own. I want to lift their hearts and show them how our hearts, our intuition, are powerful!

That’s the short list. There is a lot more that goes into this word for me. But I’m feeling really good and excited about this word!

Happy New Year, friends! I hope your year is a good one. I hope you reach some of your goals and that you find some good people to share memories with!

Love ya!
