Every year since 2009 I have picked a WORD for the New Year—as a sort of beacon to guide me through the coming 12 months. This word will help me focus on what I am looking to be, do, feel and stand for in the next 12 months.
For me, 2015 will be a year about CONNECTING.
Connecting more deeply with myself, my inner truth, my authentic self,
others, community, love, passion, my own heart and soul.
Connecting even more with the feeling that not only is being good
enough, it’s the only person I can be anyhow. Feeling like I need to be more
like others just leaves me feeling like I'm not being who I NEED to be to
fulfil my purpose.
Connecting with that deep part of me that can help me let go of some of
those unrealistic expectations and external standards that don’t equal success
for me.
2009 - BALANCE
2010 - SEEK
2011 - SHARING
2012 - PERSEVERANCE
2013 - SURRENDER
2014 - DETERMINATION
“Giving connects two people, the giver and the receiver, and this connection gives birth to a new sense of belonging.”
