my word for 2022

do you pick a word for your year? to act as a guide, a goal, or intention? i always do. last year my word was found and i am so pleased that that is exactly how i feel! i found my sense of who i am, and a deeper sense of worthiness and enoughness than i have felt before… i can honestly say that who i am is fucking brilliant… i am a goddamn rainbow.

what i haven’t yet found is my sense of purpose… that is still feeling lost. so that is my word for the year: purpose. i know who i am but i want to remember why i am here. i want to choose my next mission, i want more meaning in my daily life, i want to think about what i want to be when i grow up, i want to figure out what my path is now, i want to wake up in the morning with a sense of drive and direction, i want to know what my work is now and to feel like it means something.

i want to feel ignited again… it has been a really long time since i felt that way.

interesting: it’s been 10 years since i last went on a quest to find my mojo… and i found the lighthouse that inspired me! i wonder what i will find next?

so now, i guess i go back into my lighthouse and do some maintenance… some re-wiring, some renovation perhaps, look at some new fuel sources. i honestly have no idea. i just know that one of the things i value most is meaning… living a life of meaning and having meaning in my everyday life… and i’ve lost mine, so it’s time to find it again.

to start, i’ve set myself a goal of 100 days of sharing (writing, creating, learning, teaching, talking, listening).

and the thing i am going to remember is that my purpose is whatever i decide it is. so the whole idea of sharing for 100 days is simply to explore… to be curious… to notice… to see what feels like ignited and then maybe i can write a new mission for myself, in this my 47th year on earth.

do you choose a word for your year? please do share, i truly love to hear from you.

and i would also love to know… are you also longing for more meaning in your life (career, work, business, home, self, time, activities, whatever….)? maybe more direction or drive, maybe more purpose or passion, maybe more fullfilment or contentment? i think i can’t be the only one who has lost her mojo… please do let me know if that sounds like you too. i have an idea to share some ideas about how we can find a our spark again, so let me know if that interests you.

here’s to little sparks and more meaning. with love… xo kg.
