My One Word for 2021 Write
After taking the time to reflect on the highlights, lowlights and insights of 2020, we talked about our hopes for 2021. We talked about how people often make New Year Resolutions to help us be better in the new year- but what we notice is that we often don't keep our resolutions. We decided this year instead, we would carefully choose one word to carry with us through 2021- to help us with our changing goals, and to see us through some of the things we might find challenging this year.
We got inspired to create letters for our word. At first our intention was to created 3D sculptures with our letters but when we realized that our plan might not work, we decided to create beautiful signs to display instead. They are currently displayed in our hallway.
