Hey there,
Happy new year! 2020, along with it being a nice-and-pretty even number, just sounds futuristic, doesnāt it? I keep thinking about Conanās bit about the year 2000⦠Last night over dinner, somehow the year 2032 came up and I thought, I wonder if Iāll still be alive then?. And then I realized thatās 12 years from now. š Itās like weāre living in sci-fi.
Itās been a lovely break from work around here, mostly baking, reading (kids have walked to the library almost every other day), home improvement-ing, and watching The Mandalorian. Iām back at it on Monday, and while I could use another week off, Iām grateful for so many things and I love what I do. And I love new beginnings.
5 Quick Things āļø
1.Ā I dusted off our annual 20 questions for a New Yearās Eve reflection, and itās not too late to answer them whenever you want! It also includes my own personal questions for my simple quarterly Think Days.
2.Ā I love Calās Analog January Challenge.
3.Ā In the same spirit, here are 20 apps you should delete this year (Iām SUPER on this train right now).
4.Ā I could watch this on repeat, when Stephen Colbert shares how he knew his wife was the one. (I love that guy.)
5.Ā Have you listened yet to the trailer for my new podcast, The Good List? Coming soon and very soonā¦
Quotable š¬
āFinish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.ā
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

One year ago, I wrote about 3 style truths Iāve embraced.
Iāve got a rather big-ish announcement to make next week, so be looking for it... In the meantime, have a great week!

p.s. If youāre currently hankering to Clear All The Things, my friend Joshuaās Uncluttered course is open right now, through January 12. This is the best resource I know for decluttering your home (and mindset), and itās where I send anyone who asks where to begin. Itās a 12-week program that could be perfect for you this time of year. Iām a fan!

I finally got to listen to the trailer for The Good List. I LOVE IT! I loved the background coffee shop noise and it just felt so intimate. Its wonderful that you are creating something that you love. Thank you for the work you do and congrats on the new project!š„³
