Word of the Year: “Organize”

I’ve decided that my word for 2025 is “organize.” And I’m excited about that because I’m hopeful that it will keep me on track not only professionally but personally as well. Being organized makes me feel much more in control of my life and now that we will be headed into our 3 busiest seasons with the kids, it’s important for me to feel like I’m not forgetting anything!

Over in The Creative Art Village, we’ve got tons of fun projects planned for members, including a whimsical watercolor art journal for the year! And since we will be working in this journal quite a good bit, the very first project is to select our word of the year and then decorate the first page with it.

Do you have a word of the year?

To anybody I offended this year:

Work on yourself so I don't gotta do it again in 2025.

[shisasan]

To whoever is reading this,

May 2025 free you from all that weighs you down and no longer serves you, bringing a love that heals, uplifts, and transforms; a love that wrecks you in all the right ways. May every choice guide you closer to your truest self, to a life vast and extraordinary, full of wonder. May your heart find calm, your spirit rise, and beauty and possibility bloom in ways you never saw coming.

The new year feels like a broken clock that speeds up when you want the world to slow down. It doesn't care how heavy your heart is or how you fail to catch the light with your flimsy hands, it just approaches whether you're ready or not.

It spins forward and we spin with it and it sometimes feels a little unnerving, how evrything keeps moving while you’re standing there counting how many breaths you have left. But it's also comforting, It’s like a little nudge saying hey by the way, you can hit reset whenever you want. and you can, there's no universal default start date, your beginning can be when ever you want it to be. Maybe your new year starts when the winter months are long gone and the flowers are in bloom, maybe you begin when the sun baths the ground with new life and the glow of it all makes everything feel easier.

Maybe this year you don't think about beginnings or endings but just let yourself enjoy the middle. Time doesn't care when you start or how, it will push you along regardless. This year will be what it'll be, things from the last year will be carried along and some left behind, we just have to have hope that it'll kind.
