There’s a lot of them. It’s my current Instagram obsession, starting each morning with a photograph of my coffee cup, first thing, with a view of what’s going on out on my deck. That may sound unremarkable to you, but it’s brought to life one of my three words of the year.

I don’t generally do those New Year’s traditions, like choosing a word to guide you, or a special intention for the whole year, or resolutions. But this year, I got that little inner lightning bolt three times from three posts from three people, so I said, “OK, Universe, gotcha.”

Focus. Routine. Clarity. So simple. But a year ago, I lacked focus, had lost all sense of routine, and was seeking clarity. And now I am receiving these things. Or creating them. Or both. So every morning, a coffee. Every coffee cup, a friendly reminder that I started something new when it felt like there was nothing. These coffee cups, they’re little symbolic cheerleaders. May you have all the focus, routine, and clarity you desire.
