If you've read Upcycled Education through the years, you know I often choose a word or phrase to support me during the year ahead.
Probably my favorite word that served me deeply was BRAVE (in 2014). I wrote a blog post here about my biggest takeaways from showing up more bravely that year. I'm laughing at the photo in that post; I still wear those cheetah print slippers every today. In fact, I recently included those slippers (pair #5 of my lifetime) in my Jen's Favorite Gift Guide post here.
The biggest dud of a word for me was in 2016, Savor. I literally can't remember doing anything with that word that year, but choosing it and then forgetting I had.
I recently heard someone say they were going to "audition" words for 2021. I love that - auditions! Here's what I am currently auditioning:
True: Being true to my soul's purpose + in doing so, finding peace and happiness
Faith: Having confidence and trusting (no matter how coo-coo life gets and seems)
Wonder: Being open to beauty, signs, and synchronicities
The other day I asked on Instagram what words you all were considering. Push, community, open to change, move, evolve....were shared. Reading those words makes me so curious. AND, since it's December 31st and I am in the audition phase, I'll have to circle back and let you know which word or phrase I choose.
Or better yet, which word chooses me.
Happy last bits of 2020, dear friends. Here's to 2021 ahead!
With love,
Jen
