Each year I pick a theme. It has to be a verb and noun. Like your prompt, it guides the writing as well as the thinking, living, loving, etc. The word is network. See? You can already feel the connection with everything, including me, just my considering that word for a flash moment.

i love choosing themes each year! the idea of making the theme a verb and a noun, how awesome is that? where did you get that idea, Georgia? “network” has such a strong visual element to it, it seems to electrify a few parts of my brain at once, “being as it is”!

Thanks. These are words that look like themes and people understand that. The exceptionally intelligent professionals in my tribe know that these words that are both nouns and verbs also happen to be words that are at their core and have been their whole life. We just trot one out each year and give it the elevated status of Theme for the year. Another word like this is love. Looking forward to your Friday meeting today.
