Happy New Year

2022 is here. The last two years have been hard on all of us and 2021 decided to go down swinging (rest in peace, Betty White). But it's a new year. Yes, we're stepping in with caution, but we're stepping in without fear.

Instead of making a resolution for the year, I just chose a word to life by. A resolution is a promise to myself that is easily broken and can be used against me to make me feel like a failure. But a word to live by is a gentle reminder to myself for what I want and need for this new year.

My word for 2022 is:

PEACE.

I want a sense of peace in my life. I want to no longer feel like I have to act now or miss my chances. I want to stop being so hard on myself for doing what I need to do to take care of myself. And I want to stop making space for people and things that disrupt my peace. So this year, I will find my peace.

What is your word for 2022?
