Equanimity: My Word of 2021
Equanimity describes a way of being with each moment, regardless of that moment’s characteristics, with a sense of the bigger picture in mind.
For me, that equates to understanding the impermanence of everything in life – the good, the bad, the mundane. A gloriously happy moment will eventually fade, but so will a horrific and unbearable moment. It’s more than a this too shall pass way of thinking. Instead, it involves a willingness to simply be with what is.
Standing in the middle of it all. Balanced. Centered.

Great word choice, Irene. Interestingly, the theme in my current WIP is stability. Happy New Year!🎊🎆

Yes. It seems elementary, but so very effective.
