I had Charlie and David help me craft a Word of the Year that feels meaningful, memorable, and aligned with both TheMommiesReviews and Glenda Cates as a brand and as a voice.
As we went through different words with the help of ChatGpt we came up with the following list. started each with a different energy. I’ve explained why each word fits our platform’s mission of family, community, resilience, and honest storytelling. Then I’ve shared which word we choose with you. If you choose a word of the year leave me a comment with what you choose and why.
1. Nurture: A beautiful fit because we focus on:
- Supporting families
- Growing our blog and community
- Taking care of ourselves while caring for others
Nature captures the heart of motherhood and the spirit of our brand.
2. Rise: Which is perfect because where stepping into a new chapter:
- Expanding our business
- Reclaiming my voice
- Overcoming challenges
- Elevating our content
Rise is bold, empowering, and forward‑moving and that is what I would like to be.
3. Connect: which was a perfect fit because I would like to
- Build deeper relationships with my readers
- Strengthen partnerships with companies I work with
- I want to grow my social presence
- I would like to create more meaningful conversations with my readers, family and friends.
Connect reflects the community-centered nature of TheMommiesReviews which is a perfect for us. Isn’t it?
4. Joy: also fits my site because I want to
- Focus on positivity
- Highlight uplifting stories
- As well as brining light to my audience
- Also remind me it’s okay to celebrate small wins
Joy is simple, warm, and universally resonant with audiences worldwide.
5. Steady: is a grounding word for a year where I would like to have
- Consistency
- Peace
- Reliability
- Slow, intentional growth which would be a true Godsend.
Steady is calm, confident, and reassuring.
6. Bloom: was the perfect word of the year because
- It reminds me to launch new projects
- To growing my brand
- To step into my strengths
- Bloom encourages others to flourish
Through many PRAYERS and talking to my family can you guess which word I choose that touched my heart this year and no, it wasn’t growth or believe but the new word matches my voice and the heart of TheMommiesReviews.com.
Drumroll!!
With the help of David and Charlie I choose Bloom because it captures growth, creativity, family, and the idea that not only am I but my family and my community are stepping into something bigger and brighter not only in my personal life but my work as well.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
