This year I struggled with my word, wanting something that meant moving forward, but not in the traditional sense. I’ve spent a lot of time goal setting and working out my direction, but there’s an element I’ve lost in this journey and it’s more compassion and love. So, the word “nurture” seemed to really embody what I’m missing right now – be it creative, spiritual, my family, my family relationships and my friendships, it all needs nurturing.
