We’re starting 2025 gently. Instead of signing up for all the workshops, courses and reinventing ourselves, (which, lets face it, are all incredibly tempting) we’re merely choosing a word to guide us, provide a reminder of what we want and pull us back to our chosen path when we get sidetracked. 

What did we choose? It’s not a surprise that they’re very different, but maybe our intentions are similar. 

Have you selected a word of the year? Tell us what it is, and why. As always you’re invited to join the conversation on social media @artchatterpodcast or comment on the podcast wherever you listen.
