It’s time for my annual New Year’s tradition—selecting a single word to work towards during the upcoming year. My word for 2023 is “Discover”. There are so many experiences and places yet to discover—from enjoying new activities, to learning new skills to visiting new destinations. There are moments of beauty, both natural and hand-crafted, to be discovered and savored. There are connections to discover and cherished relationships to rediscover and strengthen. There are countless opportunities to discover the unknown in the familiar such as new maker projects and techniques. I’m looking forward to a new year of discovery and sharing it here on the FanningSparks blog.
As a visual reminder, I’ve embroidered “Discover” on one of my favorite photos from 2022—an iconic view of five identical windmills on the Kinderdijk (see also Top 22 Photos from 2022). I’ll hang the embellished photo in my studio to keep the thought top of mind during 2023.
