attend

My word of the year is attend. Meaning to be present, engaged, and to do the work. I am using this word in daily life but most importantly in my creative work. It means painting regularly, writing in new ways, blogging less and coaching more, and always leaning in towards the hard and uncomfortable work. Attending to it. 

I am organic with my word and let it recede and shift with time. I am not tied to the yearly schedule although undoubtedly influenced by it. 

Have you picked a word for the year/month/week/just today yet? 

In exchange for a word, you might use an animal or shape or even color - some sort of metaphor or outside guiding influence can serve as a touchstone as you move through your days.
