There’s only a single post left of my series on intersection, my word for 2026. And that means there’s mere weeks left of the year. Riding this blue wave, moving next week, and celebrating change, I am feeling safe, going onward.
At the same time, a healthy nostalgia honors victory. Looking back at 2026, this year’s been one for the books. Running my first marathon. Rejoining dance teams. Learning piano once more. Actually enjoying cooking. Writing fairly regularly. Keeping up with old and new friends. Hosting tea thrice for my Buddhist group.
Intersection was (and is) about goals aligning with values. I see so much action in the paragraph above… And also contemplation: Running the marathon was a worthy challenge. It was a privilege to listen to what my child self craved, like writing, dancing, and seeing friends. And yet I am also seeing new values take life.
If you are what you repeat, I can’t wait for what’s ahead in 2027. I’m considering new words for the future. Some word ideas include memories, hope, transformation, perseverance, sustainability, and wonderstruck. All I know is, I want to maintain this momentum.
Do you have a word for the year? Any reflections?
