well, I found it.
my word for the year. how’d i get here?
I dunno. it took a while, for sure. i started with wanted to make “offerings” and make life beautiful by what I had to offer, knowing these words would come from deep place. and much contemplation and offering much grace and consideration, and hope.
and in place of that word “offering”; came words like serve and calm, pursue and contribute, and then…endure.
i stopped there. the word endure just resonated with me. I wanted a smooth word that sounds like it wouldn’t ‘punk’ out when adversity came, and it would move into what purpose, and allow what was trying to come forward, to prevail . and if only if I could hold on.
despite what life had to offer. cling to what was good, and offer love. ’cause everyone needs it.
and i wanted to write a while lot about it. because that’s what my next book is about.
i want it to resonate, and sound clear…
and offer clarity , in the process of learning, and acknowledging and living life.
and I needed a word that kept me focused on its purpose.
to motivate. to cultivate. to validate.
selah.
so endure did it for me.
and its such a proud word.
i like that.
