My Word for 2023

progress over perfection

I’ve decided that my word this year is GROWTH.

More stepping outside of my comfort zone and focusing on the things that fill my cup.

About a month ago I asked myself: What fuels your soul?

Creating.

Vulnerability.

Achieving.

Music.

Dancing.

Travel.

Laughter.

What do all these things have in common?

Connection. The very thing that fills my soul the most.

In 2023 I’m manifesting all of it. I’m choosing self care over the need to say yes. I’m choosing to connect (with nature, with people, with art) over scrolling soul-sucking, relentless social media.

I encourage anyone that’s feeling stuck to write down what truly brings you joy. Stop staring at a screen and go do that (even if only for a few minutes everyday).

Some things that having been bringing me joy lately:

My morning ritual of manifesting & meditating and writing in my gratitude journal.

Morning hikes with my dog, Stella. Vitamin D for the win.

Taking an acrylic painting class. I’ve never tried this medium and I’m looking forward to learning and seeing my growth in the next few weeks.

I’ve also begun to pivot my business a little bit. Don’t worry, I’m still doing photography but I also started blogging again. I’m sharing tips and tricks with people to help make their lives easier and more enjoyable. I’ve been showing up more on social media and adding more personal content. This in turn is giving my audience a chance to connect with me more and I’m loving it.

Connection. The very thing that fills my soul the most.

Cheers to growth,

Kathryn
