Deeply moving and inspirational Livia, I hope you get everything you’re looking for and more ♥️ when I read the title, the word ‘courage’ immediately popped into my head and I love how it ended up being one of your past words, I could do with being less afraid and unsure this coming year.

Thanks so much Odette!! I love courage and it has so many facets, big and small — I wish you lots of courage (and fun) in 2025!! Hope we cross paths at some point in the new year too! :)

What an amazing read, so happy I found your Substack. I’ve also been choosing a word for a year since 2022 and it’s so much better than New Year’s resolutions! My word for 2025 is adventure, and I’m definitely getting inspired by your posts! :)

Very inspiring! I choose the word "Renewal", for I would like the new year to be about new beginnings.
