I think my word for next year will be 'forward' (as in both letting go and moving on).
It's something that is long overdue. And by not being able to move forward, I have found myself stuck. Stuck in a part of my life that I not only want to forgive myself for but to move on from.
Thanks for sharing this particular post of yours, as I did find it both personally appealing and something that I could really think about.
Hello Tammy, I found you via Chris La Tray's newsletter. Magic is an awesome guiding word/concept for traversing the year forward. I will need to cogitate a bit on choosing a word, though I'm loving the idea. Other languages than English would be helpful I think, since a single word can have such a deeper and broader meaning than what we have to choose from in English, but you have given me 'food for thought' (where ever THAT term came from..LOL!).
I think that my word should be "Gratitude". I am starting the year in a state of some chaos, homeless, stressed and confused. I know things will work out as long as I stay grateful.
It IS hard to pick just one word and I have alighted on several but have decided on Joy.
I started with Grace, then moved to Wonder, but I actually incorporate both of those in my days quite well, but Joy in the way I know I can and have known joy, the way it fills me and grounds me and brings an enthusiasm for life and living is something I am longing to regain.

Lastly, happy early NEW YEAR. :).

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. It really is hard to settle on just one.
Magic is a wonderful word.
Today I experienced it as my daughter's kitten (they are visiting for Christmas) playing with our older, normally calmer cats. Such joy & laughter.
My word for 2022 is encouragement.
