Watson Mere created this work of art in 2017 and I share it every year because of its simplicity. SILENCE the noise of hate. 🕊️
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.” — Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
As human rights rollbacks are getting more frequent, extreme, and unapologetic, it’s feeling more important to make our values CLEAR.
Whether you’re having uncomfy convos with neighbors, posting resources on social media, or getting out there with organized actions, your clarity is powerful. What the regime wants is our confused, depressed, overwhelmed INACTION. So… do anything that honors the message and meaning of Rev. Dr. King’s legacy and good works, no matter how small it may feel.
One of the things we’re doing over here in the Bonniverse to help align our values with clarity more publicly is reviving our life-changing 100-day enoughness journey for creatives, Get in Gear for the Next Tier. 🪅 🏆 🎉

Finally, I wanted to share — now that we’ve had our first New Moon of 2026 (earlier today; in Capricorn — Did you feel it?) my WORD for the year.
I always pick a word or phrase for the year ahead and it helps focus me when I’m feeling all over the place (or overwhelmed, or powerless, or whatever the vibe-du-jour might be).
And that word?
💫🌱
When I shared RENEWAL with my partner, he wasn’t all that into it. He did that little head-tilt that shows a combination of thoughtfulness (not wanting to reject my idea outright — true sign of someone who’s been married a good, long time) and “nah.”
That’s okay.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s clicking for me.
It feels like the start of a new cycle (my numerology livestream on that topic) and a refreshing of what I know how to make happen in my life/the world. It’s not a tossing-out-of-everything to start over; it’s a celebration of what works.
Now YOU: Do you have a word for this year? Share it with me. I’d love to know how you’re focusing your energy and attention.
Sending love and clarity for your leadership in these wild times,
Bonnie Gillespie is living her dreams by helping others figure out how to live theirs. Wanna work with Bon? Start here. Thanks!
