January Newsletter

NOTE FROM KI

ALL THE THINGS. Every January — not unlike other people I know — I vow to do better in the year ahead. Healthier food choices. Better skincare. More sleep.

I’m not sure why January 1st holds so much power. Why not a random Tuesday in October?  Still, there’s something about a new calendar that feels like an open invitation to begin again.

So as I step into 2026, I’m choosing discipline over perfection and intention over impulse — hoping to end the year healthier and stronger than when I started.

Specifically, in 2026, I intend to:

• Keep building muscle and improving balance through strength training three times a week
• Smile more
• Stretch for 10 minutes each evening
• Walk two miles, two times a week
• Be more mindful of the foods I eat and drink more water
• Take daily vitamins and supplements religiously
• Never leave home without my wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen
• Stay informed about current events and evolving technology
• Say “yes” more to invitations and adventures
• Keep up with vaccines, wellness checks and dental visits
• Do squats for two minutes while brushing my teeth
• Embrace play with my grandkids — because joy is good medicine
• Schedule a pedicure (self-care counts)
• Prioritize my sleep

While I know I won’t hit every goal every day, I will try. I’m grateful for my health and committed to caring for it, one intentional choice at a time.

I also enter 2026 with my heart chock full of gratitude for all of you who support me personally and in my business — you elevate the world I live in, every day! I hope to do the same for you!

Cheers to YOU and to all things vintage.

BOOKWORM. My book, Lived-In Style, visits 12 beautiful and eclectic lived-in homes full of vintage and repurposed treasures and shares how their owners put them together. Tips and hints give an insight into how to shop vintage, source art and antiques, introduce a sense of personality and have fun with decorating. Lived-In Style is about slowly amassing pieces over time — and truly loving each piece you gather. The result is a joyful and personal home — a cozy yet chic spot where everyone will want to put their feet up and stay awhile.
