   i love the poetry and how you can make rise into so many other words – particularly sunrise, which always makes me smile (just seeing the word makes me grin) I know you'll do well with Rise guiding your year =)

    Ohmigosh, you guys, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the love and support! I'd reply individually, but it might get kind of boring to read the same gushing over and over.

    This word came as a surprise to me, and I didn't want to believe it at first, but it was as clear as a bell when I asked about it in meditation. Definitely got the quirked eyebrow and "seriously?" response from me. I can only hope that I keep it in mind as the year goes on.

    Thank you all so much for your support and cheerleading. May each of you have as amazing a year as you've wished for me. <3
