I wrote a book about how to think about your home as a message board for who you are becoming. Would love to send it to you! When I am changing, I always change my home. Otherwise, it feels a little sticky. I love being in homes that embody a home dweller's energy. It's so intimate.
“None of it is the me of now. It’s just a random compilation of things I happen to have that fill a space and not in the lovely perfectly imperfect, life unstyled way that I’d like. “
I’m beginning to feel the same way, maybe to a lesser extent. And also, not berating myself for wanting to change things up, even when people say, “that’s so you!” about my home.
Oh yes I hear that all the time as well! “It’s so you” and people send me images of things they think I’ll like (which is very kind don’t get me wrong) but often I think “no that’s not me!”
I really enjoy reading your reflections on life and style. I think I can't choose a style of decoration or clothes, I like some things and I don't like other things and tomorrow could be the oposite. I am learning to accept that.
What you wrote about ambition made me think. Because in the past years I don't see myself as ambitous but as I'm geting older (50) I realise that maybe I am, because I still want to do something meaningfull with my life. Maybe I'll have to think about ambition in a diferent way.
Anyway, good look with your plans and keep writing.
The actual dictionary definition of ambition is ‘a strong desire to do or achieve something/desire and determination to achieve success’. It sounds like you have some ambition 😊 I also think at our age (I’m not far behind you) our ambitions change.
Just came to say that I love your writing!
Thank you for saying!

That’s such an intriguing concept for a book! I’d love to read it.
