Flourish Anyway: January 1
Flourish Anyway Today
It’s easy to feel pressure to concoct a brand new formula for your life at the beginning of each new year.
You can flourish anyway on New Year’s Day, even if you don’t know what you want for the coming year. Even if you don’t have energy or interest in doing any intense reflection right now. Even if you don’t really want to have any major changes for the coming year.
Here are two questions I like to ask myself, my spiritual direction clients, my friends, and my family any time (not just on January 1st): What do I want more of? What do I want less of?
A Note from Charlotte
Flourish Anyway Every Day is a new offering for this year, created in the same spirit as Spiritual Direction for Writers Daily Nourishment—a gentle, steady touchpoint for those who want to live and create with more presence, kindness, and courage.
Each day, you’ll find one simple way to flourish right where you are, even in the midst of ordinary chaos, uncertainty, and change. These small invitations are meant to help you notice the sacred in the everyday, stay connected to your own heart and body, and remember that you belong.
Alongside that daily invitation, you’ll also receive a brief note from me with life, work, and writing updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses of what I’m working on, and news about upcoming gatherings, retreats, and resources. This space will hold both the tender and the practical: what’s unfolding throughout my days, what I’m paying attention to, and how I’m discerning next steps for Flourish Anyway and my work with creative souls.
My hope is that Flourish Anyway Every Day becomes a companion for you—a place where you feel seen, supported, and reminded, again and again, that you can flourish anyway, right here.
