I may not know you all as intimately as you know me, but it has always felt like a family here to me, Chelsea <3 You're so kind.

Aw, Claudia — apologies for my delayed reply, but this sentiment is timeless! I hope your home as brought you as much happiness as mine have brought me. I hope you don’t wait 7 or 8 years to comment again 🙂

Emma, you are too kind. I feel the love <3

You’re so sweet Laura. Thank you for the kind words — apologies for the belated response!

Karlijn, this is so kind. You guys make me cry all the time! (Good tears.) It’s been a year of amazing peace and I look forward to writing a follow up to this post to detail that!

Chelsey! This is so sweet. I feel lucky to have found this balance at the moment between the family/friends and the job/passion — Bali and Brooklyn, though I do feel torn and miss one when I’m at the other! I guess we will see how it shakes out in the next few years. Excited to have some blog posts coming up and starting to share a bit more here again!

Love you Catherine <3 Can't wait to see you later this year.

Jess, hope this blast from the past brings you a smile like yours did to me! Love keeping up with each other’s lives on Instagram, and hoping to get back to sharing here as well. You’re doing great too <3

A much delayed reply, Jen, but wanted to say thank you for the kind words and the encouragement. As I write my first post in absolute ages and catch up on comments, they warm my heart!
