And a happy new year

It’s a busy time of year, to be sure — we’ve just emerged from that holiday landslide, into the second clear day of a fresh new year.  Winter is the season of restoration, drawing inward and preparing for spring’s impending new growth.  At this junction — these first few days, where we’re just beginning to settle into this new year — I always find myself feeling reflective.  The year behind us was full of highs and lows, new experiences and moments, all of which shaped not only our months, but who we became over the course of 2023.  So knowing where we were, where we’ve been — where do we want to go next?

I’ll keep it short and sweet, this time around, because I’m still recovering from that back-to-back holiday season, and sometimes the best thing you can do is just sit and take a breather.  All I wanted to say is this: let this be the year that you decide to embrace who you are.  Strive for your goals, the things that you want, with joy.  Of course, part of that self-embracing can certainly be a home makeover, and if that’s what you’re ready for, shoot me an email anytime.  But in all that you do, in the year to come, I hope you live with authenticity.  It’s freeing and wonderful to just be you, isn’t it?

All the best, to all of you, in 2024.  I think I’ll kick back for just a little while longer.
