Peace in the Waiting ✨

January 11, 2026

Take a deep breath. Now exhale. You have just made it to a new year.

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays behind us and the lull of the new year commencing, now is the time to sit with myself and my wardrobe. This is my third year participating in a “no buy” for the first quarter and I love it. It's a period of time spent on myself, my wardrobe, my style, and my finances.

Resisting the urge to delve into stores, online shop, and thrift (the hardest part) enhances my patience, thoughts, and quite honestly, my peace. It gives me a chance to play with items I already own, devise new ideas, declutter what no longer serves me, and reflect on the woman I am and whom I’m becoming.

I use this season to practice my "No's," to appreciate delayed gratification, and to just be. This “no buy” enlightens and clarifies what is in front of me. A way to explore and experiment with what I have at my fingertips in endless ways. In a season of restoration, I find peace. Peace in the mundane, the everyday, the waiting.

So, welcome to 2026, I pray you peace to find your fill.

From me to you,

xx
