The Year of “Color”
In November of last year, I was about 90% sure that my word for 2024 was savor. It had stood out to me after reading it in a newsletter, and even though it didn’t have that oomph that most of my words do—that shininess that makes me sure they are special—I hadn’t discovered any other Continue reading

The Year of “Faith”
It is always an interesting experience to sit down and write about my word of the year, from the other side of the year. When I first learn my word, I’m excited, but often worried about what’s to come. And then in January of the following year, having lived through the ups and downs of Continue reading
