I love that you set a word for the year! You should check out Darwin and Gray as they make personalised word of the year banners, I’ve done this before and hung it next to my desk for inspiration. I’m now going to think about my word too!

Haha do it! It’s much more fun than resolutions as you can’t fail at a word. 🙌

Ah, my heart is eased by the slow-new-year movement that appears to be happening in this space. I haven't set any goals as I'm still in hibernation! Instead I'm simply nurturing little seeds with warmth—no grand declarations over here. Although I do have a word: Boundaries. I feel it weaves it's way into all that I do, so I'm keeping it at the forefront of my mind as I venture into this year. Wishing you all the best! 💙🙏🏻❄️

Ooh that’s such a good word, Alice! Yes to continued hibernation. I’m with you. Let’s save our new year vibes for when the days get lighter and our energy naturally lifts ♥️🙏 x

Precisely! I feel lifted enough just thinking about those days.🥰

I enjoyed reading this piece and can relate to it a lot. No goals here either and you’ve inspired me with your description of widening your life and living it more fully. I definitely want more of this approach in 2024. I haven’t settled on one word yet but one that keeps coming up is Ease 💫

I'm so glad you made the decision to write and share this, Louise. It reminded me of something a friend shared with me yesterday: she's simply going to let life unfold in 2024. See what happens and go from there...
