My Word to Live By

Each year, Arrow community leaders select a Word of the Year. A meaningful word that serves as a guide for personal and professional focus. As the Executive Director at Mallard Point Senior Living in Cedar Falls, Iowa, the start of a new year feels like the ideal time to reset, refocus, and prepare for upcoming challenges and opportunities.

2025: Embracing Intentions

The Word of the Year I’ve chosen for 2025 is intentions. This word perfectly reflects the season I’m in, serving as a guiding anchor to influence how I lead my team, support families, and care for residents. Intentions emphasize the importance of purpose and mindfulness in every action, ensuring that efforts are deliberate and meaningful.

By focusing on intentions, I aim to approach each day with clarity, ensuring that my actions align with what truly matters in both personal and professional spheres. I believe this word will shape my year not only in ways I anticipate but also through unexpected moments. It reinforces the importance of staying focused and mindful, even amidst challenges.

Looking Ahead with Purpose

As 2025 approaches, I am excited to see how this word will guide me in leadership, strengthen relationships, and inspire personal growth. Choosing a Word of the Year isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being intentional and open to the journey it inspires.
