I bought my first pair of western boots in 2014. They’ve mostly stayed in the closet—until now. Something about putting them on in our new house sparked a shift in me. These boots, heavy and stiff, slow me down and make me feel grounded, ready to get things done. Boots are props—they shape how others see us, but more importantly, how we see ourselves. These boots? They’ve got a mission now, and by the end of 2025, they’ll have stories to tell.

0/2025: From House to Home
We just bought an old, rugged house. It creaks and cracks, holding stories from a century of life. Renovation isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about discovering what’s worth keeping and how change shapes us. Every decision carries meaning: what stays, what goes, and what new stories we’ll add. This year, I’ll share weekly reflections on turning this house into a home and exploring what it means to truly feel at home, both in a space and in ourselves.
