What a great word! I love that you gave it time to form and didn't rush it when you entered the new year. My word for 2024 was Explore. This year is Play. Thanks for bringing it back to the forefront for me :)

Thank you, Claire! I love explore. And play is SUCH a rich word, I'm sure there is still much to be discovered with the remainder of the year.

Courage is huge. Looking back at my early years acting, my biggest regret is that I didn't have more courage on stage, as an actor. Now, at 61, I am foolishly free, which means courage feels more like flying than falling.

Oh I love this, Kate! Your courage radiates and makes those around you (myself included) feel like we may become “foolishly free” as well.
