As we welcomed 2024, Gardeners again each chose a single word to guide our spiritual focus for this year. Now that summer is in full swing, it’s the perfect time to reflect and ask, “What’s your word?” or “How is it going with your One Word?”

For many of you, this note serves as a gentle reminder of the commitment you made to keep your word at the forefront of your spiritual practice. Some of you might be thinking, “Of course, I’m practicing my word!” You’ve been dedicated to a clear and direct spiritual discipline, keeping your word front and center. Others might read this and suddenly remember they haven’t thought about their word for weeks or even months. And then there are those who might be wondering, “What is this word she’s talking about?” Perhaps you, like me, find yourself somewhere in between.

This weekend, we’ll check in on how The Garden has been living into our community word of the year. I HOPE (hint hint) you’ll join us on Sunday for “Word Up?” to share your experiences and reconnect with your spiritual focus.

See you there!
