Christmas 2023
Posted: 31 December, 2023
Greetings Dear Friends. As we wrap up Christmas and say goodbye to 2023, I’m reflecting on how the focus word KINDNESS shaped the year, particularly the focus placed on KINDNESS as my guiding ownWORD. It’s been a year of learning, and of persisting in my efforts to live in a state of kindness. But now, it’s time to look ahead. With the new year comes a fresh focus, and I’m excited to introduce my ownWORD for 2024: it’s all about embracing elegance, strength, and a generous dollop of refinement. Join me on the blog for my annual Open Letter and discover the new theme set to shape the journey into the year ahead.
