I’ve been choosing words or phrases for each year for a while now and it’s always amazing to see how they play out. In the past, it’s been about embracing, becoming, surrendering. It was about finding peace and acceptance in this journey of life. But for this year, I wanted something bold. I wanted to push. I realized I wanted to be brave.

Brave enough to go after those big dreams in my heart. Brave enough to do things even when I don’t know what the outcome will be. Brave enough to go forward even if I’m afraid. Brave enough to fail and try again.

I want to be brave.
