Do you pick a word for the new year ahead? I started doing this a few years ago and it has stuck. I like it because it’s not a dreaded resolution, where I feel I must give up something or add something difficult. Instead, it’s an intentional word that I keep at the forefront of my thoughts as I start a new year. My words have varied. I guess this is based on my goals, inspiration, and where I am at that particular time of life. Words I have chosen in the past have been: strength, love, peace, and fun.

This year my word is NOURSIH.

I chose nourish as my word for 2023 because I want to be intentional about pouring into aspects of my life that are of great importance to me. I want to nourish my mind by experiencing new adventures and reading new books. I want to nourish my relationships with those I hold near and dear. I want to nourish my body with hydration, wholesome foods, and stretching. I want to nourish this new publishing company, Enchanted Moon Press. I want to pour into it with new ideas, relationships with authors, illustrators, and editors.

I’d love to know if you pick a word for the new year and what word you have chosen. Whatever your goals are for 2023, I hope the year brings health, happiness, and prosperity to you and yours.

Until next time, Happy Reading!
