Fulfilling. Hectic. Wholesome. Gratitude. I couldn't just choose one word to sum up the 2024 year, so I went with multiple because it was all of that and much more. I also love choosing a word at the beginning of a new year when I'm journaling and writing out my goals/resolutions. For 2025, I chose the word “intentional.”
Trailing behind that word was “hope.” Without it, I don't think myself and a whole lot of other people would be where we are today. Sustaining hope throughout the year, no matter what it's for, can be the bit of energy you need to make a difference in your life and others.
On the other hand, being intentional in everything you do, whether that's in work or any downtime activity, helps to establish a mindset where you move with purpose.
