Taking stock of oneself at least once a year isn’t such a bad idea. My word for 2025 is “nourish.” It can relate to food or sustenance and also to keep a belief. It covers body, soul, family, earth. Having a key word for the year keeps a focus. There is so much to learn while alive it’s difficult not to be overwhelmed. Instead I keep a weekly “to do” list that is burned at the end of each year. It’s a diary I keep and then let go of bowing to the impermanence of our existance. Liberating.
