Word of the Year 2026

It can be fun and often motivating to pick a word of the year.  A word you can use as a mantra to keep you focused on what you want to be doing and where you want to be headed. 

This year, I have chosen the word ACCEPTANCE.  When I can accept that there are some things I cannot change, it is easier to focus on the things I can change, where I do have control.  I have learned from Byron Katie that when we fight against reality, we only lose all of the time.  I have also learned that when I accept myself and my situation, imperfections and all, I am. more likely to be able to move forward in self-compassion rather than self-criticism.  

What will you choose?  Where is your focus for the coming year?
