2023 Word of the year
Welcome 2023
And here we are welcoming yet another year again. A fresh new page of the year is at our fingertips to make it all ours. I truly wish that we would be able to fill the pages of 2023 with our choicest blessings.
Every year since 2015 I have been choosing a word of the year without fail. A word of the year helps as a NorthStar guide to navigate through the year. When I started to think about my word for 2023 there were a lot of options staring at me. And honestly all of them sounded fitting to my thoughts.
But one of those words, the first one of those words, kept coming back to me. It appeared in different conversations I had, random sentences and words I heard, TV shows I saw, books I read. It became impossible to ignore this word even though I was moving toward a couple of different words to choose as my word of 2023.
I realize that this year I am supposed to make more connections through my words and actions. These past few years I sorely missed connecting with others. As everyone else, I would blame covid and its impact, but I know there were many instances I stopped myself from connecting thinking that’s what was expected of me.
