A few years ago, I was speaking at an event in Austria with several other authors. Two of those authors were Kyle Gray and Rebecca Campbell. They were chatting about “their word” and what each of them had chosen and how it had related to the year that they were experiencing.
My response was “What? What word? What are you talking about “your word?” You have a word? I want a word!”
It’s not a new practice to choose a word to represent your life for a coming year, but somehow, I had never heard of this idea. I think Kyle and Rebecca were shocked that this was a new concept to me, but somehow this little manifesting tool had completely escaped my notice. So, as I entered 2019, the word I chose for myself was “rise.” I had several reasons for choosing that word including a sense that it was time for me to rise above certain things that were happening around me. I needed to sever my energetic connections to what other people were doing and just fly on my own.
For 2020 I chose the word “unshakeable.” Now keep in mind, that word was chosen before we’d even heard the words covid or pandemic, but it’s what came to me so I went with it. Who would’ve ever imagined that that word would be so utterly perfect and profoundly powerful during this past year. I even printed the word out and taped it to the top of my laptop.
For 2021, I have chosen the word “soar.” It’s a word I chose for professional reasons, but it also has important personal implications for me as well. It’s about upping my game to support people as we crawl out of the astrological mess that was 2020. As the metaphorical skies clear, I wish to allow my soul to soar and to help others to do so as well. The word “soar” also has the sense of seeing things from the big picture and being able to plan where I want to go and where I need to be.
And so, I’m asking you… what is your word for 2021? If you had to boil down your intentions to just one word, what would best represent your dreams and goals?
I’m also excited to share with you that I have a new 4-part course coming in January of 2021 called “A Tarot New Year.” The purpose of the course is to teach people how to use tarot to get clarity on what 2021 is about for them. It’s also about using tarot to help manifest those dreams while fully releasing the past. To make the most of 2021, we need to be fully free of 2020.

As we head into this shiny New Year, I wish you peace, joy, and perfect clarity about what you are going to create. Let us all celebrate the endless possibilities that are before us.
Angel blessings,

I Have Something to Confess …
So… I have something to confess. Something really weird that has been going on in my life since I moved back home to Denver. I’ve been keeping this on the downlow but I guess it’s time for me to “come out of the closet” one more time. I don’t even know how it...
Why Can’t Every Day Be April 7th?
Y’all know I am pretty good at full disclosure. However, I am gawd-awful at taking time off. Seriously, it’s problematic. Everyone says so. To give you a hint, I have been published 14 times over 12 years. My peers think I’m nuts. My publisher adores me. The first few...
My Thumb is Turning Green
Last summer, I purchased an 85-year-old house from a 92-year-old woman. She had lived here for 55 years. By all accounts, she was a master gardener in the past with the front yard being a right-proper English garden. Inside, the entire house had hooks in the...
OMG! My Perfect Day!
I recently had a perfect day. For the record, it was Saturday, March 1st. It had been a long time since I had had one. And honestly, it probably wouldn’t sound like “all that” to most people. But that’s the thing about perfect days. Everybody’s different. The...
I’m Done Playing It Safe
I’m currently in the process of making a big decision. I mean, it’s not a gigantic decision, but it’s still a significant one to me. And what I am increasingly aware of is that it feels like all of my decisions over the last year have been big decisions. Some of...
Besides being healthy.Freedom is the most important thing to me. Therefor,my word would be freedom. Financial freedom,free of thought,feelings I carry around.✌
Radleigh Darling!! … Thank you so much for this email! A word for the year! Wow… how powerful is that!
I contemplated as long as it took for me to say the word contemplate, and gave it to the Divine. I walked into the kitchen from my living room, and the word blazed forth! My word for 2021 is “Grace”. I looked it up in my Gene Keys and found it to be the Siddhi for the 22nd Gene Key. Works for me! GRACE is also the Seventh Sacred Seal where… and I now quote from the text.. “a wonderful prophetic transmission” resides… further quoting: : “In allegorical form, St. John The Divine describes the sequential process of the opening of each of the seven seals by an Angel, and the subsequent unfolding of the seven stages of the Apocalypse itself. It is not until the final seventh seal is opened [by seven Angels and seven trumpets] that evil is conquered and humanity ascends to a higher plane.”… End quote. After this apolcalyptic-like 2020, perhaps 2021 is finally the year of all our “seventh heavens”.
Thank you Dearest Radleigh! Rock on! Stephanie Du Laux
Rad! Great reminder but I’ve already been choosing a word every day however Your idea of one for the year is wonderful. Mine was immediately obvious: regenerate. I’m having surgery in January and expect it to be the beginning of a joyous new year.
The word that came to me in October for 2021 was “Boundaries”.
Awesome I love this. Thank you for sharing. <3 The word "soar" is really very fitting to the new year for me. Leaving it all behind and finally soar into a new future with all the good and amazing that I wish for and work on since awhile now. I believe it will be completely different than the lost ones and very changing, uplifting, new, and liberating. I feel changes on the inside and I also see them on the outside. May this new era will be the most benefiting for all of us in every way, really, we deserve it all after this, as you said: "astrological mess". I really felt this, spoke to my soul. Blessed be.
Hiya Radleigh I think my /words for the coming year are phoinx and victory
