“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering it will be happier…” Alfred Lord Tennyson
It is a new decade; time to write a story that reflects your hopes and dreams and the possibilty of positive change. What will you do with this challenge? It seems daunting, so let’s tackle it together. Here are four ways to get started:
- Explore. Inspiration may be closer than you realize. Recently we nibbled on snacks and sipped on spirits at the Half Note Lounge (pictured above) in The George Washington Hotel, a local historical gem that combines history with today’s ammenities. The oversized artwork paired with the cozy interior look sparked ideas for improving our own homes. Not to mention that the walls are painted in a sultry smoke color.
- Discover. Have you seen the new adaptation of Little Women? If not, don’t miss it. Each one of the March girls wrote their own story in a time when most women accepted the life they were handed. Find your heroes and heroines and see how their life mirrored their hopes and desires.
- Write. Even if you are not a writer, buy a journal. Jot down favorite foods and restaurants, books and plays and visit local historical attractions. Enjoy the discovery process.
- Refresh. Holiday decorations are gone, so look around your home to see what changes you might make to have a space that inspires you. Coming home each day to an inviting interior will give you a lift.
