Love, Audacity, Flow, Spirit, Command, Tend– my life in words over the course of a six year period.What a journey it’s been to send sweet invitations to my life, one word at a time. In the years that I’ve been committing to this ritual of calling in my word, it dawned on me that life is so delicious when we approach it with curiosity and play.It’s not to say that life will always be easy but having a word to lean on, to share with others and to have others mirror my word back to me has been an eye opening and transformative experience.I find solace in my word and lest I forget to connect with it, it reaches out as a dear friend who I haven’t seen in ages. My word has a tendency to seek me out and nudge me. It shows up when I least expect it but when I need it the most. It’s no stranger to synchronicities and that will become so evident to you as soon as you’ve called in your word.
