Anchor Words

Do you choose an anchor Word of the year?

After deep introspection and insights from loved ones and coaching clients, I’ve chosen an anchor word for the year ahead. Rather than a New Year’s resolution, I’ve embraced the concept of an anchor word to focus my energy and purpose.

Last year, “MOMENTUM” guided me to prioritize movement, progress, and cherished moments and MOMents, especially as a mother and with my mom.

This year, I am dedicated to using my strengths as a connector, embodying the essence of a “BEACON.” Beacons symbolize consistent light, trust, and hope, offering guidance and early warnings to beware for safety and well-being.

The first six letters of my beloved hashtag #BeAConnector also spell out “BEACON,” reinforcing my commitment to heart-based leadership from Matthew 5:16.

As we mark the 5th anniversary of Wishing Out Loud LLC, the anchor word beacon serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of meaningful connections, being kind to ourselves and others, and being brave to keep wishing out loud.

What’s your anchor word if you choose one?
