Sounds like a perfect thing to focus on this year. I care for so many other people, projects and things and then grind myself into the ground. I've recently got back into aquascaping and tropical fish and it's reminded me to take a moment and thing about how things are going.
Hey Meghan. I think mine would be 'refactor'. It comes from coding and programming when you take something already running, clean it up, make it work better, and remove pieces that don't. Basically taking a thoughtful look at what's there, adding what you've recently learned and cleaning up what's left.
Meghan, I love this post! I'm terrible at looking after my house plants and not much better at self-love. But it's a work in progress. I started reading Lights to Guide Me Home before i went on holiday at Xmas and it's FANTASTIC. Well done!! I left it at home, since books I travel with don't usually come home in good shape, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it this week.
My word for this year is NOW. This reminds me to take care of little tasks more promptly, to be more present - and not to leave my belongings all over the place. It also contains the word NO, which I intend to use more judiciously this year when I'm being drawn in a dozen different directions.
All the best! You're killing it, girl. I miss working with you.
Thanks so much, Jen! What a great choice of word. I have a mini mantra I'm using this year, which is "Be Here Now." It also reminds me to be present and quiet distractions.
All the best with everything on your plate! I miss working with you, too.

Thanks, Ross! Do you have a word in mind for your year ahead?

I really like that, Ross. It reminds me a bit of my recent post about "Editing your life." Thanks for telling me!
