The word flourish holds a very special place in my heart.  It was my focus word in 2019.  I chose the word flourish because not only did I want to enjoy my life, I wanted to thrive with a huge sense of health and vitality. 

 

Little did I know how impactful the word would become for me.  It was my constant companion as I was on my healing journey with pancreatic cancer. 

 

Flourish means to sparkle and shine despite circumstances.  Laser-focused on health and vitality comes to mind. To stand firmly rooted, digging deep with a strong support system so that we can thrive despite the raging conditions going on around us. 

 

If you feel a little unsteady, stop, take a deep breath, and ask, how can I best flourish right now?
