IWSG: a place where writers and friends share woes or hugs.
Welcome to mine!
Thank you, co-hosts Jemima Pett, Debs Carey, Kim Lajevardi, Sarah Foster, Natalie Aguirre, and T. Powell Coltrin!
I find January's question rather fascinating: Do you have a word of the year? Is there one word that sums up what you need to work on or change in the coming year? For instance, in 2021 my word of the year was Finish. I was determined to finished my first draft by the end of the year. In 2022, my word of the year is Ease. I want to get my process, systems, finances, and routines where life flows with ease and less chaos. What is your word for 2023? Why?
I will sum up my single word with a smatter of *images that tell a story and it's your job to guess what the end product is. Ready? Go!

Have you guessed what word my journey is leading up to? What is your word for 2023?
HaPpY nEw YeAr!
Here's a hint of my journey's reason:
I always gave
You always took,
Now stop!
I'm choking
In the sea of stormy hands about me.
Help me breathe again
With your reassuring faces.
My ship is going fast
From your hateful, doubtful worry.
I belong to me!
Give me room to stretch my feelings.
Let me learn.
Let me fall...
Let me fall!
Let me meet this new self I heard about.
"Hi, me. You're not at all
What they said you would be."
~Karla Davis, Tyler, Texas
