I didn’t choose a word of the year for the past few years (unless “survival” counts for all of them?) but I felt that a focus word for this year would be a great way to spur journaling when I feel stuck or a mantra when things are hard. I chose courage as my word of 2023. It has been wonderful these past 2 months pondering how I can be, or was, courageous each day, and also exploring what things require courage for me personally. I’m so grateful to have found this necklace that helps keep my word close to me ~ it is hand stamped by the wonderful Liz Lamoreux of Soul Mantras and it brings me a lot of joy.
