2024 Word of the Year

January 20, 2024 · In: Behind The Biz

For years I’ve selected a word for the year. I’d select a word that I could use as a theme for me and my business. I’d think about a word that aligned with any goals or plans I’d have for the year and that would help me to keep focus of what I wanted to get done while also leaving room for the unexpected.

I’ve spent the last few weeks thinking about what my word would be. To the point that I had a list of words, looked at their definitions to determine if that word is how I want to feel this year. When choosing a word I always ask myself at the end of the year if I had to sum up my year in one word, would I be able to say this word. I also don’t make the word too complicated. I want the word to keep me inspired and excited throughout the year. My word for 2024 is

When I thought about what I wanted for myself and for sonnet, this word kept coming back to me. I knew I wanted to spend this year doing some of the things I want to do but also giving myself the space to learn something new and to grow from that experience to make me a better person. Is that too woo woo? It sounded like it but it’s true, thats what I want. At the end of the year, I want to say that this year I saw myself and my business flourish. Over the course of the year, I’ll be coming back to this word sharing updates and also if I fall short. I hope you’ll follow along with me.

Question. Do you have a word for the year? If you do and want to share your word in the comments, I’d love to hear it. If you don’t have a word but need a little inspiration, I hope other words shared in the comments can give you some ideas for your own word.

As a candlemaker, Fall/Winter is my favorite time As a candlemaker, Fall/Winter is my favorite time of year.  I love all the warm and cozy scents of this season.  The problem is I can’t make candles of every Fall and Winter scent that I love.  After testing and making some cuts, this year, there are 5 scents.  Two that have been best sellers since Sonnet started. One scent that is making a return from last year, a retired scent I’m bringing back and a new scents that has become a new favorite. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming soon at the beginning of October. Comment below which of these scents you think will your favorite.
It’s common for scents in a candle collection to c It’s common for scents in a candle collection to change overtime.  This year sadly I am saying goodbye to two scents They are Serenity, the coconut milk and lavender scent and Relax, the rosemary and mint scent. While I love both scents changes with my suppliers has caused me to pull these two scents from the collection. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you love Serenity or Relax grab them now. Quantities are limited. Check out the shop to buy these scents before they’re gone.

Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve shown my face her Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve shown my face here. I wanted to say Hi and that I’m still here I’ve just been knee deep in testing fall/winter scents (coming soon) testing new jars and a bunch of other candle stuff that’s kept me busy most of the Summer. Whether you’re a new or longtime follower, I’m Natasha and the woman behind Sonnet Candles. Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. I started Sonnet 3 years ago as a candle brand that creates candles that don’t cause headaches and scent your space without being overwhelming. If you have sensitivity to fragrance, these candles are perfect for you.  As I said before I’ve also been preparing for Fall/Winter markets/pop ups that are right around the corner and doing a small re-brand more on all of that later. I can’t believe we’re halfway through September.  I’m excited for Fall and candle season there’s a lot I can’t wait to share. Speaking of Fall, leave me a comment letting me know some of your favorite Fall and Winter Scents.

Can we talk about comparison? I had to take a litt Can we talk about comparison? I had to take a little bit of a social media break because I was slowly falling into that trap of comparison and looking at where other businesses are in relation to mine and feeling a little inadequate and I needed to take a little time to reset. While I know that all of us are running our own races but that monster of comparison sometimes is hard to fight and beat back even with all the rational thoughts  to be a reminder that I’m doing what I need to do just like the other person or business is doing what they need to do. I shared this quote today as a reminder to myself and to anybody else who is feeling like they’re in the same spot trying to beat back all that stuff that comparison traps us into that where we are exactly where we’re supposed to be and what is for us is for us.  Even if things don’t go our way, that doesn’t mean that we quit or  think that we’ve failed. But it’s to remember that sometimes our paths may not look like everyone else’s and it’s OK and sometimes we have to go slower than others and that’s OK too. In the end where we wanna be we will get there maybe not in the timeframe that we hope but it will always be on time.
