A new year always feels a little like standing at the edge of something unknown - equal parts calm and anticipation. I’ve just come back from a refreshing break, slowing down, and giving myself the space to truly recharge. Those quiet moments away are such a good reminder of how important it is to reset before moving forward. I hope you, too, found a little time to rest and recharge.

I’ve never been big on rigid resolutions (as they so often fade), but I do believe deeply in intentions. In the quiet promises we make to ourselves. In choosing how we want to feel as we step into a new chapter.

A few years ago, I wrote down a handful of simple mantras. Nothing revolutionary - just gentle reminders to appreciate the small things in life. We turned them into a cute sticker and one of them has been living on the back of my phone ever since.

Every now and then, I’ll see someone post a selfie with their sticker on a laptop, mirror, or phone - and it honestly makes my heart so full. Knowing these little words are traveling through the world, quietly accompanying someone’s day, still feels incredibly special.

So as we step into this new year, I wanted to share them again with you:

You don’t have to do all of them - or any of them, really. Let them simply sit with you. Come back to one when you need it. Tape it somewhere visible, or tuck it away for later.

Here’s to new beginnings that don’t need to be loud. To growth that feels slow and intentional. To staying curious, soft, and open.

Thank you for being here, for supporting what we create, and for carrying these small rituals into your own lives.

With gratitude,

Lea
