This reminds me of the William Morris quote I've tried to live by, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." The beautiful part is so important! This got me thinking about how I could rearrange to support more dreamy-feeling habits in my home.
Thanks for this post. 🖤 It really spoke to me as I only recently discovered my 'Big Five for Life' (google John Strelecky if you want to learn more) and one of my 'Big Five for Life' is not compromise on the Aestetics. As I'm a hobby-potter, this will heavily show in my pottery pieces. I'm going to create pottery pieces that I like and not what I think others might like. And I'm currently also looking into my clothes. There again, no compromise... and yes, that currently means buying new clothes as I was also moving towards minimalism there but that meant compromising my aesthetic understanding of my style. Not anymore.
It’s a lesson I’ve been learning for several years now! Clothes is a big one for me too, and I feel so good to finally be cultivating an aesthetic style that feels like me. I’ll definitely check out that Big Five for Life!

I love being dreamy schemy about literally everything

So lovely to read how you embodied your word of the year! Sounds like a success :)
It’s been my favorite word of the year yet! Did you have a word of the year?
It was ‘trust’ :)
OH that was my word in 2021, and it was my favorite until this year! So many insights I gained from that year, the most impactful being "self-trust"
It's so fun to hear how you've incorporated this word into your year! Can't wait to follow along in 2025 :)
It's been a year full of gorgeous lessons! Beauty for beauty's sake, and joy for joy's sake
