2023 Word of the Year

December 30, 2022

Can you believe it’s about to be 2023??!! What a fast year 2022 was (I think I say that every year). For the past 7 or 8 years or so, I’ve chosen a “word of the year”. My word is something that I focus on to make myself better. It took me a while to come up with my word for 2023 and I’ve decided that it’s going to be ACTION. I like this word because it can be applied to so many different aspects of my life.

my word for 2023

Action: noun

  • the process or state of acting or of being active
  • something done or performed; act; deed
  • an act that one consciously wills and that may be characterized by physical or mental activity
  • actions, habitual or usual acts; conduct
  • energetic activity

Goals for my word for 2023

I plan to take action on the things that I want to achieve instead saying that I’m going to do something. We all know how that is, don’t we?

I will take the action to purge my closets down to be more minimalist.

I will take action to organize drawers, shelves, etc so that I don’t waste time looking for things because I will actually know where they are.

I will take action to volunteer somewhere on a regular basis. I used to be a member of my local Lion’s Club and found the work that we did very rewarding, but I want to find something that speaks to me more.

I will take action to plan out my content for my blog and social media instead of always flying by the seat of my pants. My inner self is a procrastinator and it’s a trait that I’m not exactly proud of.

I’m going to do a blog redesign and take action to recommit myself to posting more regularly. Social media is fun, but our blogs are something that we actually have full ownership of. I always feel refreshed and more energized with a new design (I’ve had a blog since 2012).

I will take action to complete the online courses that I signed myself up for. I started taking a skincare course and a photography course. They’re both really good, but I need to set aside the time to spend on learning.

I’m sure there will be many more situations that will come up throughout the year that will need my action. I plan to be keep the word at the front of my mind and form better habits.

Do you set a word for yourself with each new year? If so, what’s your word for 2023?

Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Somehow I think it felt a little extra special this year.♥️

This was year number 46 for my husband’s annual family reunion and golf tournament in Michigan. We’re already looking forward to next year.🥰
If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few d If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few days, I’m in Michigan for our annual family reunion. And I must say, the weather here has been in the 70’s during the day which makes me not miss the heat wave back at home in Texas one bit.

Running quick errands on a hot day calls for a loose fitting dress and comfortable sneakers.

Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already reaching for rich fall colors. 🍂

#ad One of my favorite ways to transition into fall is by layering lightweight pieces from @soft_surroundings that keep me comfortable on warm afternoons but are also perfect for when the temperatures start to cool down. It’s an easy way to ease into the next season.

These warm, earthy colors feel so timeless, and each piece can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe favorites.

Do you have a favorite fashion season?
