Love this post so dearly, such a morning pick me up! The words “the building year” are such fabulous ones and I think it mentally sets us at peace when we go about things. Also, absolutely adore the interior of your bathroom!!

Thank you for penning this, absolutely love it and your perspective on these years we are all somehow learning to navigate. Every bit of what you said resonates so much with me, life is wildly uncertain but maintaining a focus and being present will help us see the positives and our growth/progress. ❤️

Oh I love this so much. I read "building year" and went yes!! This is what I'm doing!! Then I read "foundation laying year" and went oh my god no wait!! Foundation laying!!! Yes!!!!

Anyway, love that for you and love the terms you've given me. Hope your expansion year goes well❤️‍🩹

Feel like I’m in a very similar place, last year was so much building and now it’s time to expand. This year I did two very subjective resolutions that can manifest in so many ways, there’s no set playbook to them - which is a lot different than the past when I did set things like - workout more or run a marathon. Feels freeing to not know what’s next! Here’s to expanding!

Came back to this post to say I introduced the concept of finding the house-building equivalent of your phase in life to my therapist and she loved it too. I still love it so much :)
