2021: The Year of Staying Present

I am a big lover of words and quotes. I have always loved writing, words, conversation, speech, etc. so, it is crazy to me that I had never heard of establishing a “word of the year” until 2021!! My favorite YouTuber, Jessica Braun, recently discussed her word of the year for 2021 in her recent …
