Every January I choose a word for
the year. For me, it’s a more
inspiring endeavor than a new year’s resolution like losing weight or eating
healthier.
Last year my word was nurture. Upon reflection, I have decided that I was about 85% successful
at being nurturing throughout the year.
One lesson I learned is that nurturing needs to be delivered in
different forms depending on the person.
Not everyone appreciates the type of nurturing that I find the most
fulfilling. You have to know a
person to know how to nurture him or her. Although my success rate was not
100%, at least I became a better nurturer (is that a real word?).
My word for 2016 is explore. What I love about this word is that I
can take it in so many different directions. I can explore geographically, creatively, professionally, or
spiritually. Explore implies
courage and resilience, which is something I need in my life. The options this word presents are
exciting and I'm looking forward to all of my explorations.
