At the time of recording this episode, Siena was recovering from a seasonal cold. So: we started with an extended meandering convo that includes our etiquette about germs and the natural medicines she’s been taking, and that have really been helping!

As for the title of this episode, we talk about the idea of having Words For The Year:

• what they are

• why to have them, and also

• a warning about how this concept can sabotage your peace of mind, too! (so watch out!)

Siena shares her Words For The Year, and how she “cheated” on choosing one (a little bit ;) this year.

Toast shares the “stand-in word” that’s her Word For The Year, so far.

Something to realize and think about: instead of focusing on finding some perfect, fail-proof set of directions or "words," focus on staying closer to, and attending to, the Source of direction.
