“Freedom lies in being bold.” Robert Frost
Charise’s Turn:
With the dawn of a new year, there’s an impetus to make a resolution or set an intention. I started 2022 with a bout of breakthrough Covid, so this kind of impetus fell by the wayside. What I’ve discovered, however, is that my actions point to an intention moving through me that is new, different, and recognizable. In each and every decision, I’m being bold.
“How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.”
William Wordsworth
Bold is my word for 2022. I didn’t set out to bring boldness into my life; it’s been showing up organically by prioritizing the best use of my time. It’s a matter of being able to disagree without feeling like a disagreeable person. It’s a matter of putting a stopper into the draining of energy from too much doubt. And it’s a matter of understanding distinctions between self-love and selfishness. Maybe the blow to my health in January was a boon, bringing a shift in how to meet the world again after isolating.
