Embracing a Bright and Purposeful New Year
As we step into a brand-new year, I’m feeling a mix of excitement and gratitude. There’s something magical about the chance to start fresh, and I’m embracing it by focusing on what truly matters: health, community, and sharing more meaningful moments with all of you. My hope is that by sharing my goals, I can inspire you to set intentions that bring joy and purpose to your life, too.
Prioritizing Health and Wellness
This year, I’m making a promise to myself to take better care of my body and mind. After all, how can I show up for my family, friends, and community if I’m not at my best? I’m starting small—adding 30 minutes of walking to my daily routine and squeezing in another 30 minutes of exercise whenever I can. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about creating habits that feel good and are sustainable.
If you’re on a similar journey, let’s cheer each other on! I’ve found that little things, like really pretty weights or a playlist of your favorite songs, can make all the difference. And on those days when it feels tough to get moving, I remind myself that every step counts.
Focusing on Community and Giving Back
Giving back has always been close to my heart, and this year, I’m doubling down on finding ways to support and uplift others. Whether it’s through philanthropy, creating content that helps people feel seen and inspired, or designing products at The House of Perna that spark joy, my mission is to make a positive impact. Last year I was nominated by the Delray Beach Public Library for Woman Volunteer of the year with the Junior League, and it really was one of the biggest honors I could have ever received.
I’m especially passionate about:
Partnering with causes that empower women and families.
Creating opportunities for connection and customization in my boutique.
Highlighting other small businesses and ethical brands that align with our values.
If you have ideas for collaborations or ways we can work together to make a difference, please let me know. I’d love to hear your thoughts and dreams for creating change in our communities.
Sharing More to Help Others
This year, I’m committing to sharing more—more behind-the-scenes, more lessons I’ve learned, and more tools to help you live a colorful and authentic life. I’ve realized how much I love connecting with all of you through content, and I want to lean into that passion.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect:
Weekly blog posts filled with honest, practical advice.
Fun and creative videos that show you how I style pieces, tackle DIY projects, or bring designs to life.
Affiliate links to products I genuinely use and love—like this planner that keeps me organized or a pretty water bottle that motivates me.
But I don’t want it to be just me talking at you. I want this space to feel like a conversation, so if there’s something you want to see or learn, please let me know. This is our journey, and we’re in it together.
Join Me in Making This Year Magical
As I look ahead, I’m filled with hope for what this year holds. I’m reminding myself to take it one step at a time, celebrate the small wins, and find joy in the little things. My wish is that this blog—and everything I create—brings a bit of that joy to you, too.
Let’s make 2025 a year of growth, connection, and celebration. Whether you’re setting similar goals or charting your own path, know that you have my support and gratitude. Here’s to making it the most colorful, meaningful year yet!
