Love this! I pick a word each new year instead of a resolution usually (unfortunately the “I want” phrases got to me this year, too) and last year I chose ‘Plant’ for this very reason.

It was after some video I watched where a woman was speaking about how so many people wish they were in a season of life other than the one they actually found themselves in- as in, being in a planting season but wishing you were in the blooming season instead or vice versa. Here’s to tilling that soil!!

Thank you so much for reading!! Thinking about life as a dichotomy of “seasons” is gonna make me spiral today. But like a good, upward spiral…

loved every word of this, i too fear speaking my desires aloud will invite some sort of curse. it's exhausting trying to strike a balance between opening myself up to the world's good graces and keeping my dreams so close to the chest that no one will see if they don't come true. i will be redirecting those worries to the bulb from now on!
