The year of Heat
Instead of New Year’s resolutions and goal setting, I like to allow a Word of the Year to emerge. I’ve been doing this ritual for about four-ish years now, and it always flows so easefully and without pressure.
Usually in my yearly reflections, a new word shows itself to me. I never choose a random word that I like for this process. No—this is a much more intuitive process of following what’s alive for me, and what wants to come alive in the new year.
The words that choose me rarely make sense to me upon first emergence. For example, 2024 was my year of Move, and I truly had no idea what that meant for the first half of the year. Yes, I always have inklings — but I really just surrender to the energy and allow it to show me what path to take forward.
So, for 2025, my word has surfaced — the year of Heat.
