Throughout a year loaded with more change than ever, my word for 2020—growth—continues to stretch and mold me. Yet, when I reflect on the past 12 months, I’m encouraged by the countless ways in which I’ve given my word a good workout. Perhaps it’s my age—reaching the halfway point in Club 50 membership can do that to a girl—or maybe it’s the date on the calendar that sparks possibility and expectation as we await the advent of shiny new beginnings. In either case, excitement stirs in my belly as I meditate on my word for 2021: a theme, of sorts, or call to action that captures the spirit of what I’m drawn to most, in this moment—a life of surrender. For me, this looks like creating a plan, but releasing attachment to future outcomes. And, instead, approaching each day with playful curiosity, while practicing resilience in the face of whatever comes.
What word or theme will you focus on in the new year?

I’d never hopped onto the “word for the year” wagon until this year. And I’ve got two:
Humility
Thrive
The first one is always with me, every day, as I often learn my lessons in front of a crowd. But this year, I’m going to be more deliberate about finding my place in the grand scheme of things and then get on with it.
Which is what Thrive is all about. 👍

Liz, hi! Thank you for popping in and sharing your “word for the year” thoughts. Both of your choices, humility and thrive, bring to mind an intentionality—first, to empty yourself of “self” and then to refill yourself with lessons learned and insights gained to bloom (and flourish!) where you’re planted. Excited to hear about your journey!
