2025: The Year of Chasing Dreams
Share
As we stand at the threshold of 2025, the world seems to pause, suspended between the past and the future. It's a moment brimming with quiet promise—a canvas yet untouched, waiting for us to create something beautiful. The year ahead is not just a passage of time; it's an invitation to recalibrate, to listen more closely to the whispers of our hearts, and to chase the dreams we've long set aside.
This year has meant so much to me. It’s been a year of laying down roots—of watching the foundation of my work take shape, grow, and evolve in ways I hadn’t imagined. Along the way, I’ve met some of the most wonderful customers—people whose stories and passions have inspired me to keep going, to keep striving. I’ve shared conversations about travel, gardening, design, and, of course, food—each exchange adding something meaningful to my journey.
But this year has also been about realizing something deeper: that it’s okay to be the outsider. It’s okay to set a new path when the old one no longer feels true. I’ve found a sense of freedom in embracing the untraditional, in letting go of the need to have everything figured out, or to follow any prescribed direction. Some of my biggest clarity came during my time in France—where I reconnected with nature in a way I hadn’t since I was a child. Being surrounded by craft, by appreciation for place, art, and by a slower, more deliberate way of life, I was reminded that I can create in a manner that feels authentic to me, rather than for others.
I discovered a passion for natural dye, for flowers, for textile techniques that are raw and unpolished. The beauty, I’ve learned, is not in perfection but in the process—the strange and wonderful details that make each creation unique. I found curiosity in the weird, the unconventional, the messy parts of life that make up my world. These small shifts, these new curiosities, have given me a clearer vision of the path I want to walk.
As I step into 2025, I feel both gratitude and excitement. Gratitude for the growth of this year, for the lessons learned, and for the people who have shared their lives with me. And excitement for what lies ahead—new ventures, new ways of creating, and a continued embrace of the strange and wonderful things that stir me. I want to dive deeper into my work, to experiment more boldly, to trust my instincts and my intuition.
2025 invites us to chase these dreams—not with the weight of expectation, but with the lightness of curiosity. It calls us to reach, even when the path ahead is unclear, because the very act of striving brings us closer to who we are meant to be. Every step, no matter how uncertain, is a step worth taking.
So, let this be the year we dare to dream again—boldly, unapologetically, and without fear of failure. Let it be the year we reconnect with what stirs us, even if it seems impossible. After all, dreams are not destinations; they are journeys that shape us along the way.
As you move through this year, I hope you find the courage to dive deeper into your own passions. And if you ever wonder about someone’s essence, ask them what they dream about. In their answers, you'll find more than just desires—you’ll find a map to the very core of who they are.
Here’s to 2025—a year of possibilities.
