Update: 2024 Word of the Year

My 2024 word of the year is create. I want to create space to capture more joy and (literally) use my creativity by creating things - art projects, plans, and writing.

My original plan:

Instead of creating a big plan for the year I decided to do a quick monthly focus at the beginning of the month and a check-in at the end of the month.

My current plan:

Keep it SIMPLE. Focus on ways to create each month.

CREATING JOY

creating adventures - attended my first supper club
