Word of the Year– Flourish

Like so many other creatives out there, I choose a word every year to help center myself. So many inspiring words to choose from! This year I have chosen flourish. Webster dictionary defines the word flourish as:

1: to grow luxuriantly: THRIVE

2 a: to achieve success: PROSPER – a flourishing business
b: to be in a state of activity or production – flourished around 1850
c: to reach a height of development or influence – The company flourished with record profits under the new owner.

One simple word with so many meanings. Flourish.

This year I want begin to grow and expand my creativity and my business. To explore new directions by experimenting and learning. To not be afraid to put myself out there. To find others who are similar minded and inspiring in the world. It is a simple word. It encompasses so much of what I want to achieve this year. I will hold onto this word and keep it as a reminder that, yes I can do this! I can Flourish in this world!
