Meraki

Cynthia Wade July 30, 2014

For a long while, now, I've been searching for a word that I could use to sign off with on correspondence.  The tried and true, "sincerely, your truly" and even the more contemporary "namaste or peace" all seemed not quite right.  I tried to be patient, not one of my better qualities.  I recently discovered "meraki."  It's a greek word.  It can be used as either a noun or a verb.  I, of course, prefer the verb.

Meraki means to do something with soul, creativity or love; to put something of yourself into your work.

Don't you love it?  Well, I do, and that's all that matters.  It's perfect for me.  It says everything about the way I want to live my life and do my work.  It resonates in my soul and represents the spirit of do-over.me.

In the future, when you receive correspondence from me, it will be signed off with meraki.  Please take a moment to commit it to memory so that you are reminded of its meaning each time you see it.  Perhaps you too, will choose to live your life with meraki.
