27 didn’t faze me at all. Not really. The day was pretty relaxed and that was just what I wanted and needed. 27 was like stepping into a room, taking a look around, and feeling at home.

“Steadfast” is my word for this year. I had decided this in December of last year. It was a word that kept coming up, and I felt a tug towards it. In the past I’ve had words like “faithfulness” and “stewardship,” and they’ve carried unexpected weight and brought grounding clarity. But this year I chose a word that almost feels suffocating to me. It already carries a lot of weight, and I hadn’t even begun to unpack it and see what it will mean for me this year.
I’m sharing this with you in the name of being open and honest and authentic. Because I am certain that I am not the only one who does this—tack on little loopholes to goals so that when we don’t attain them it’s okay. Right? Tell me I’m not alone in this.
