Love Letters from the Good Life

Inspiration / January 2, 2021

Resolve

I had to laugh at myself that when we walked into 2020, I said that my word for the year would be Contentment. I was happy with my house, my job, my car… And somehow, throughout the year, all of that changed. Well, my car didn’t, but B’s car did. I was content with all I had. Our home was perfect. My job was the most wonderful. Bryan’s Jeep… eh. But then, opportunity presented itself. Opportunity to bring a mid-’60’s Colonial to a new life, to take over a sister Brokerage… to replace the Jeep. I was never not content, and in that way, I suppose 2020 was a success.

I’ve struggled with setting goals for 2021. I’m not really sure what else there is. I have so many small goals- two great vacations this year, finish the first floor of the new house (this one is lofty, I know), yada yada.

At the beginning of Covid, in March, I- along with everyone else- bought a Peloton. I’ve always loved bikes, spin class. I knew that this little baby was what I needed to keep my workouts on track, and it was. Until September, when I just pooped out and lost interest, and our house went on the market. I was frustrated with myself for buying this incredible piece of equipment and just letting it set. I hated that it looked as if it was going to become the dreaded clothes-holding treadmill.

So, here it is: in 2021, I’m going to complete 365 rides in 365 days. I realize that there will be days I’m out of town, or ill, or- as it can happen in the world of real estate- working for 16 or 18 hours straight. There will be some days that I need to double up to make up for the Chicago days and California days and super lazy days. I hope I can do it. I think I can. And, if I happen to shed some pounds along the way and fit back into part of my closet, well, that’s nice, too.

I’m wishing all of you, sweet readers, the best that there is in 2021.

Maybe it’s due to an overactive mind, a desire to feel like I’m influencing someone, or perhaps, it’s simply that I need to talk.

Our new powder room may or may not be going a litt Our new powder room may or may not be going a little overboard with Fornasetti everything. Here, their Nuvolette wallpaper in the dark blue colorway and one of 2 or 3 wall plates that’ll top the walls.
Wrapped up the first week of the new year by worki Wrapped up the first week of the new year by working from home, setting intention for 2021, and planning client parties, holiday gatherings. Hoping your new year is off to the best start. Cheers, y’all.
Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas. This yea Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas. This year hasn’t been the easiest on anyone, and the holidays may be difficult. I hope you find the light this season, and that even if Christmas Day is spent alone, I hope that the quiet and the snow, the light of the tree and the music on the radio provide a heart full of love.
While the man and I aren’t really doing a beauti While the man and I aren’t really doing a beautiful table setting this year (we have paper plates and a folding table), or roasting a huge bird and hosting 20 people for board games and bourbon (it’ll be turkey meatballs for two, because... Covid), I still wanted to throw some inspiration out there. This is my favorite Thanksgiving tablescape from 2017. This table is on the blog now! Cheers, y’all.

So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the mar So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the market... so many years here, and so many changes in our lives. This house has seen the loss of both our dogs, both my parents. We celebrated our engagement here, came home happy and silly after a Christmas elopement. Thanksgiving here has been full of Bourbon and friends and Trivial Pursuit.  This has been my happy place for the better part of a decade. 

Going to sleep tonight in hopes of the right buyer who will love these walls as much as we have 💕
Happy Friday from the best place on earth! Happy Friday from the best place on earth!
