simple shui | hello, february.

hello.

and happy twenty-fifteen!

delighted you are here with me, somewhere in between the holiday hullabaloo and spring.

january just evaporated, so how about a quick recap?

i turned 40.

which i’m embracing feverishly.

i thought about writing a post, reflecting on life lessons + hard-earned wisdom flickering within me.

instead, i remembered discovering this quote in my early thirties. and how i fell in fast love with the idea of embracing four decades…

it’s taken me years to be able to say it, but i am radiating technicolor happiness to be part of that club now.

this is 40 (33)

and on the heels of my minty fresh decade, my favorite she-J invited me along on another one of her magic carpet rides. we’re talking clutter + clearing it with 21 days of inspired prompts. really, this is all about getting back to a simpler place. because when we keep things simple, we discover a constellation of possibilities.

there are a few new projects making my world feel hot pink right now, and i’ll be gushing those details in the approaching months.

and, anytime i groove alongside these ladies and those twins, well, i can’t stop smiling. you can check it out here and here.

so, after a quiet start, this year is beginning to feel like it’ll be one worth celebrating. over and over.

cheers to twenty fifteen + you + many more toasts this year to the good life.
