Steve- I love all of this- and especially your description of the different aspects of your life to which you plan to bring more intentionality this year. I really liked these lines in particular: “I have to be the one space where I can do what I know to be right and in so doing, know that when I am in a good place, I can share my peace, my joy and my hope with those who are feeling depleted emotionally and spiritually.” I think that’s a great distillation of all that I’ve learned from you over the years about Soul Care- that it’s not selfish, but rather a stewardship of my one and only true self- so that I can live the abundant life that Jesus speaks of, and bring my best self to my family, friends, and the world.

My first word for the year is “simplify.” But as a second guardrail and companion word to keep me out of the ditch on the other side of the road, your post has brought to mind the word “deepen.” So- there are my guardrail words for the year- “simplify” and “deepen.”

I have really resonated with your two words “commend” and “intentional”. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your thoughts and prayers with others. I have already shared your Substack on the word “commend” with my close friends. I will now share this blog on intentional. 😊
