Happy New Year!

🏠✨ Top Ten Ways Our Inner Life Reflects a House — Happy New Year Edition! ✨🏠

by Tracy Uttley

1️⃣ We All Have a Front Porch Personality

That “I’m fine, everything’s great!” smile we wave to the world… even when the basement is screaming for attention.

2️⃣ Our Living Room Is the Highlight Reel

This is where we display our “best self” furniture and hide the laundry behind the couch when life rings the doorbell unexpectedly.

3️⃣ Yes, There’s a Basement

That’s where feelings, fears, and unfinished emotional projects live. 2026 is the year we stop pretending the light switch is broken.

4️⃣ Closets Hold More Than Coats

They also store old stories, dusty regrets, and a few emotional skeletons we keep meaning to deal with.

5️⃣ Some Rooms Need Remodeling

Peeling wallpaper of old beliefs? Outdated flooring of self-doubt? Time to update this space!

6️⃣ We Forget How Strong Our Foundation Is

We’ve survived storms, repairs, floods, and a few emotional earthquakes—and we’re still standing.

7️⃣ Our Kitchen Is Where Nourishment Happens

Not just food… but laughter, connection, kindness, and conversations that warm the soul.

8️⃣ We Need Windows

To let in light, hope, and truth. Fresh air does wonders for the heart.

9️⃣ There’s Always a Room for Joy

Even when life feels cluttered, there’s always space for dancing, silliness, gratitude, and the sacred art of laughing at ourselves.

🔟 Every New Year Is a Renovation Invitation

Life isn’t asking us to be perfect, just authentic. May 2026 help us repair what needs healing, cherish what’s beautiful, and keep building a life that feels like home.

✨ Here’s to tending the rooms of our hearts, opening new doors, and filling every corner with courage, warmth, and joy in 2026. Happy New Year! ✨
