New Year, New Word

It can lead you in the direction of your Goals!

By Kristin Kindred, Publisher and Editor Macaroni Kid Aurora January 4, 2025

For the last few years, I have chosen a word to guide me in the new year.  Last year my word was CONSISTENCY, it got me to work in routines and show up the same. My motto became "What you see is what you get," because I did not change how I showed up.  It was my guiding light for the year.

This year I thought about my goals and thought about some of the big shifts I would like to make this year. This year my word is BOUNDARIES, it's okay to say "NO." It's okay to not make everyone happy.  Setting boundaries to support my mental health, time and peace is important for me this year.

What is your word for the new year?
