Finding a word for the year is a popular thing. It can be empowering to choose a word that feels aligned with where you want to grow or who you know you are becoming. But we all know that life can take us on a ride, where Spirit lets us know it has an entirely different level of growth and awareness for us to focus on.

2020 felt like that. I feel like we have all lived a lifetime in this year. So much has happened that it’s almost overwhelming to think back through what we have been asked to look at, own, and step into.

And so when I started seeing the posts about who has a word for the new year, I wasn’t ready to go there. I’m not done with this one. And words didn’t feel like a starting point to lean into how this year has changed me, to even know what I needed from 2021.

But color did.

In this episode, I share a way to play with color to help you tell the story of your year. To see a colorful story of you.

A few things I cover:

- Why, even though we want to kick 2020 to the curb, we may want to sit with this year a bit longer.

- The steps I took to playfully work with spots of color (paint or digitally) to connect with my inner wisdom. It told an eye-opening story of healing.

- How creative exercises like this can direct you more than say, picking a word for the year.
