Explore in 2023

My Word of the Year for 2023 – EXPLORE

Explore can relate to creativity, food, ideas, travel, books, music, exercise, relationships, fun – it’s a word that exudes adventure and curiosity – and how I love these words! I’ll be exploring my options

to search and discover (about something)
to think or talk about something in order to find out more about it
to investigate, study, or analyze, look into something
travel through (an unfamiliar area) in order to learn about it
self exploration is a concept that interests me
being curious is a way to extend my knowledge
I can become Deborah the Explorer for the year ahead instead of the more well known Dora the Explorer. The Mathematician will roll his eyes at that one because my sense of direction can be a bit off at times and he won’t be following me if I’m leading the way!

Previous Words of the Year

For the past few years I’ve chosen a word of the year #WOTY – here are the words and a post telling why I chose each of them.

2017 – New Horizons
2018 – Focus
2019 – Time
2020 – Jump
2021 – Bold
2022 – Gift
2023 – Explore

I was a GIFT in 2022 but 2023 is all about EXPLORING.

Each month I’ll write an update about what I’ve explored, what I’ve learnt and and how exploring has enriched my life.

It helped keep me accountable and I enjoy sharing how my word is impacting on my world.
