In the comments under my last newsletter - I’m trying to remember that this is mostly a newsletter, not a blog! - I was talking with Luisa about KC Davis. KC has some strong ideas around managing ADHD and I’m an enthusiastic newcomer to her work.
I have emotional authority, too (no surprise there.) Once again I relate to so much here, especially the 5 P's (including yours) for keeping us on task. Your post also inspired me to do my process for finding my word RIGHT NOW 😅 And it surprised me: my word is FEEL. Not just as in 'feel your feelings' (I am with you, that's not always the most helpful approach) but more as in FEEL - truly, deeply, achingly - the beauty of life. Feel my aliveness and bring it out of the shadows into the light. I've been numbing so much this year, when this word revealed itself to me it was like a big sigh of relief... yes, that's it. Wishing you and your family a lovely festive week and looking forward to more of your musings for 2023 🥰❤️
No word yet. Pondering a color or a scent instead of a word. Maybe an essence or a tree? As much as I LOVE words, this next round feels like it needs to be anchored at a more body/sensory level.
Joyous week to you, too, if/whatever you're celebrating. <3
I also like KC Davies and yup, pain would also be my addition. I have no word yet, like you, I have learnt from previous years that one has to be careful with a word. It will emerge. Eventually.
Still contemplating my word as well, intention is coming to mind. I love the tree idea. Being a Capricorn, who always has a plan, following rules and looking after everyone, Willow is calling to me. Grounded but also being able to bend in a storm.
Love your writings Jo, you give me lots to think about. Wishing you moments of Joy in the holiday season.
