A Year in Our Space: Reflecting on 2024

From Closet Discoveries to Mindful Living

OUR STORY

As we close out 2024, let's take a quiet moment to walk through our space together. Like welcoming an old friend, let's revisit the memories and stories we've created within these walls...

Fresh Beginnings

This year has been full of new challenges. I pushed my boundaries by running two 5Ks in summer and fall. Though I'm learning as I go, I took a leap of faith and started this newsletter. Together, we began sharing stories about our journey to the Dream Closet and what EZICOZI means to us.

Our Shared Journey Through Space

Finding Our Way Together

You know that moment when you rediscover clothes after seasons have passed? That "Oh, there you are!" moment? Like that sweater still bearing its tag, we all have parts of our lives we've set aside. But that's how our story began. Standing in front of our imperfect closets, we found the courage to take those first steps, even when everything wasn't perfectly organized.

Transforming Our Spaces

We're working to transform our closets from simple storage spaces into curated collections of pieces we truly love. Through "closet shopping," we're learning to shift from "decluttering" to "mindful choosing."

Lessons from Our Journey

Daily Discoveries

I've been trying to take five seconds each morning to observe my closet – just like how I gradually built up my stamina for those 5Ks. It's led to some interesting insights: the clothes I reach for most often share similar colors and styles, while those magazine-inspired purchases rarely leave the hangers.

Creating New Spaces

Lately, I've been discovering new possibilities in every corner of our home. The small changes that started in our closets are now flowing throughout the house. We're creating quiet spaces for morning coffee and reading, and cozy corners for evening reflection.

Questions for Reflection

Pause in each space and ask yourself:

What was your happiest moment here this year?
What experiences would you like to create in this space next year?
What story does this space tell you?

Take your time, just as we do when we're organizing our closets – one thoughtful moment at a time.

Embracing the Journey Ahead

Remember: not every space needs to be perfectly organized. It's okay if some areas are still finding their purpose. These spaces will continue to evolve with us, day by day.

Looking Forward Together

As we welcome the new year, instead of seeking perfection, let's embrace the journey of gradual change together.
