Steps toward a purposeful 2022

Here we are again at the start of a new year!

Whether you clicked through from a social media post or visited through an email link, WELCOME! If you’ve been around a while, you know how much I love the fresh start a new year and a turning of the calendar a new year provides. I’d love to offer you my best tools to making the coming year more purposeful, joyful and focused.

My 2022 update

As of 12/27/21, my word for 2022 is looking like CULTIVATE. It means to encourage, foster, promote growth, tend, refine, give attention. It’s all about action, intention and getting your hands dirty. I feel like I haven’t “done much” for a few years…and I am ready to get some things growing! I like these:

cultivate peace

cultivate connection

cultivate joy

(you’ll see them pictured in the graphic below)

I plan to cultivate our yard…cultivate areas of my life I have neglected…and help the people in my inner circle cultivate what matters to them as well.

The verse I’m claiming for 2022: “And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.” James 3:18 Peace is the number one goal of my life so it’s especially fitting.
