Prolific

I choose a Word of the Year. 2024’s word was "CONSISTENT.” At the time, I was fascinated by dog training, with its emphasis on setting consistent expectations and obtaining consistent results. I wanted to see what would happen when these lessons were applied to legal work, academic research, parenting, friendships, and community. Consistency in some areas felt great. In others, sameness and discipline led to a loss of balance. This year, I’m exploring what it’s like to be “PROLIFIC”—plentiful and frequent in areas I care about, particularly writing.
