In addition to picking a theme for 2024 "gentle, gentle" I also had a "Star Word" drawn for me. A pastor friend of mine has "star words" that members of her church get to pick at random for the new year. In addition she draws "star words" for anyone who comments that they want one. She then sends a photo (see above) and mails the "star word" to you if you want.
This year the word "openness" was drawn for me and it happens to be purple my favorite color. Openness seems to be a good addition to my year's theme of "gentle, gentle." I hope I can be open to the wonders around me, open to change, open to thriving. 2024 looks like it will be challenging on a global level so I have to work extra hard on my own micro level of living.

Over the years I have gotten Prepare, Clarity, Look (which happened to be the year I presented on Sherlock Holmes at DePaul which felt fitting since Sherlock says to Observe) and last year I got Servant. If you don't have someone to draw a "star word" for you there are random word generators online that can pick a random word* for you.
*Note: You might need to go through a few before you have one that works. Some that came up randomly were not words anyone would choose for a year such as pain or violence. Or you might just have to modify the word that pops up like say houseplant could become growth, rooted, hydrate, sunshine etc.
