2025

Welcome to the other side of the holidays—it’s sure a mad rush there for a few weeks, isn’t it? By now we’re a week into 2025, and who knows what it’ll have ahead to offer us? Maybe we’ve made some resolutions, new goals. Maybe we’re just taking some time to sit in this new moment, let it come to us. It’s certainly a time for reflections. We look back—who we were in 2024, what we accomplished, what we experienced and how those experiences shaped us—and we look forward, to the prospective, the possible, still richly uncertain. What do we want in this new year? Who do we want to be? Where do we want to go?

Let’s keep things brief—we’re all still recovering, I think, from the hectic holiday fun. What I’ll offer you today is this: a new year is an opportunity to really take stock. Be who you know you are, freely. Take time to value, and participate in, your community. Help foster the kind of local space you want to live in, one of joy and respect and kindness. Take care of yourself, and take care of each other. 

And while you’re thinking over the coming year, consider also your home. Your home really shapes the way you live day-to-day, and can shape, in turn, the way you feel, waking up each morning, having each meal, and going to bed at night. A fresh year is a fresh beginning, and a fresh opportunity to make your home intentionally you. 

While your home journal is certainly personal, you don’t have to go it alone. Woodside Home is here to make that process of renewal not only fulfilling, but fun! After all, one of the most enjoyable things about a new year is leaping into the new, the fresh, the inspiring. We want to help make your home as much a reflection of you, in all your wonderful complexity, as it can be. 

Ready to take that first step? Drop us a line! Let’s start 2025 off right.

Until then, I wish you all the best in the coming year—may your coming months be joyful.
