I’m not sure about you, but I like to choose a word for the year that I feel identifies my intentions for the year. For 2025, my word is excellence.
To me, this word describes how I want to show up in my life. I want to live with intention this next year and work to bring my best to all I do. I love the research I am blessed to engage in and the people I meet. I want to be intentional in this new year about what I am working on and sharing my findings with the community in a variety of pathways and formats.
I also cherish the relationships in my life and want to be sure I show up for my friends and family in the way they need. This year, I am trying to schedule time on my calendar to connect with those I love and be intentional on spending time with them.
I have some projects that I am looking forward to beginning, and I want to give them my best work as I go forward and fully develop and roll them out.
So, yeah, that’s why excellence is my word of the year. What is your word of the year?
Thanks for reading these thoughts~
