Pick Multiple Words of The Year!
It is that time of the year again it is the find your word of the year time!
Every year about this time I think about choosing a word to help guide me for the new year. I think one word can help me define my year and goals based on what I want to achieve.
Now with that being said, and being the Aries girl that I am, I find it hard to pick one word.
Sooo, this is a blog post I share annually and as I tweak it I also want to share, I am not choosing a word of the year. I am focusing on intentions this year instead.
So for those of you choosing a word of the year, here are some tips!
My Intensions: Focus, Collaboration, Travel, Schedule, Joy and Scale

How I Chose My Words
A few things came into play regarding choosing my words for 2025! It was a mixed bag of sorts including hard reflection of the last 3 years.
This past year was not quiet as challenging in the real estate world, in my opinion, which is my main gig here in Boca Raton. Interest rates are a bit lower, consumers have settle in to rates and housing prices and people dealing with “lifecycle” moves like downsizing, empty nest, probate/inherited properties, divorce etc are going to always be in play.
I happen to be trained with certifications and designations in particular to work with seniors and probate, just an FYI.
Like many of you, health and wellness are really on my mind regarding anti-aging, wellness, and mental health. As a woman over 60, I realized I needed to be purposeful regarding my daily health routine and daily routine.
In February I had a huge issue with my sciata on both sides and my low back which kind of lead to physical therapy. What the heck, wasn’t expecting that. It slowed me down on the workout front for sure but made me appreciate being able to walk without pain. It took a couple of months but boy was that frustrating.
So, moving forward, I am doing a reset for my health, business, and personal life. I am doing some easy exercises each morning in my kitchen, using my counter to do push ups, squats, and to hang on to while I stretch and I am walking and gardening! As it warms up in May, I will add swimming back in.
A couple of products I have added to my daily health routing include Total Beets and Gruns- Super Food Gummies
I plan to tracking steps, water, diet, sleep, additional exercise, sugar, and alcohol.
Check out a few tracking devices I have been researching to track all of this since my phone is pretty good for tracking movement but I need something to track so much more especially my sleep! Wow, in just a week I have gone from terrible sleeping habits to at least 7 hours of sleep, somewhat uninterruped.
I still need to get better with having my phone close to me and not grabbing it but that is a work in progress!
I traveled to real estate conferences in 2025 and had a few blended vacations with that an a wedding I went to in Dallas! Of course I love the Florida Keys and get to visit there frequently with my friend and Pittsburgh to visit my daughter and her husband.
Work balance, self care, and travel all play into each other regarding scheduling a daycation or weekend away each month where I am traveling for pleasure or adding a day of relaxing to a business trip.

Manifest Your Best 2026
What I am seeing is a common theme of a done a ton of planting seeds and now I need to launch and tie up loose ends or, my current business or occupation is not going to survive or has been eliminated, what is my next career chapter?
I see words like. change, downsize, simplify, convert, monetize, grow, collaborate, invest, money and focus. As someone who is over 60 now, I am thinking about this third chapter I am in and what I see for the next 5 – 10+ years.
Finding a Great Planner
So along with choosing a word or words for 2025 think about adding a planner or journal to complement your online calendar. I like to write thoughts down in my notes (I find it is easier for me as I am always on the go). But, I do have my planner for, well, planning and not wanting to forget a thought.

There is nothing like cracking open a new book or opening up a beautiful bottle of champagne or smelling a new bloom on a rose bush to make you feel inspired, hopeful, and filled with joy… like a glittering New Year ahead of you …your future is filled with opportunity and success!
Word Of The Year Tips
So in the spirit of choosing a word (s) of the year here are 7 tips to help you manifest and showcase the best word or words for you!
1. Reflect on what you imagine your New Year and 2026 looks like and what words embrace that vision.
2. Look for inspiration from movies, quotes, the written word, and other areas in your life to help you narrow down your choice or choices.
3. Think about what brings you joy, growth, happiness and energy!
4. Meditate or have some quiet time to see what words bubble up.
5. What do you want more or less of this coming year?
6. Make sure you write down your word (s) and post them where you can see them!
