My birthday is tomorrow, which always causes me to reflect on the last year. The theme I can’t get away from is decrease/less/limits. We live in a world that loves more, better, and higher… but what if less is what allows us to fully receive and appreciate the more?

Have you ever written a letter to yourself? If not, maybe you should give it a try! Here’s mine as an example below.

Instead of creating a big plan for the year I decided to do a quick monthly focus at the beginning of the month and a check-in at the end of the month.

My 2024 word of the year is create. I want to create space to capture more joy and (literally) use my creativity by creating things - art projects, plans, and writing.

Drumroll….

February was much better than January!

Don’t get too excited… March will not be better due to a weeklong vacation among other things. LOL But for now I’m taking the February win!
