Today we explore the beautiful word – Meraki [may-rah-kee]. It means to do something with your soul , creativity, or love. It also means when you put something of yourself into what you do. This could be your passion for music, your desire for drawing, or your love for writing. Anything where you leave a piece of your soul/self in your work. This word I find is peaceful and fun to say. Although the word is Greek… I can’t help but think of how similar it sounds to Japanese.
Anywho… as meraki is a difficult word to use in a sentence I’ll leave some links to where you can read on how to use it in a sentence and determine the proper use… my best attempt would be:
My meraki is in everything I write.
But again, not quite sure if that is correct since… well there isn’t a lot of people who actually use this word in a sentence.

When she isn’t vigorously writing, she is crocheting, drawing, or photographing her adventures with her partner (Mr. Canuck). They live in a small city in Ontario, Canada and proud pet parents to two little troublemakers – Argo and Athens (cats).
