Some Housekeping

This year has been a doozy for me - I finally moved into the home I spent a year renovating, lost my treasured pilates studio, put on fifteen pounds, and crash landed into dog ownership. All of this combined has left me stressed, and not feeling comfortable at home or in my own skin. While I wouldn't change some things for the world - like adopting Paloma - I wish I didn't resist the changes as much as I did. Instead of mourning what my life was like before, I should have worked harder to adapt to my new reality sooner. I can't really go back in time and make better choices, but I can do better in the future. Every hard season has a lesson and purpose, and while I wish I had learned it sooner, I'm telling myself better late than never. All of this being said, in the spirit of embracing changes and growth instead of letting it steamroll me, I'm celebrating a new chapter for Towerhouse! I'm really excited to be moving over to Substack. 

Despite the advice of my good friend, I avoided joining Substack for the longest time. I resisted partly because I loved the ease of this platform and partly because of my natural aversion to change, among a few other reasons. Substack just feels more serious, which is not what Towerhouse is about. Towerhouse is a place for fun, inspiration, lighthearted stories, and what catches my eye. Although I'm hesitant, I'm going to make the enthusiastic jump to Substack and I'm inviting you all to join me! It will be more of the same, just a little bit more polished and have a grown up look. I'm excited to try something new, and while it feels uncomfortable in this moment, I know it will be another lesson I can look back on. 

I'm aiming for a relaunch in January, but will be sharing sneak peeks and behind the scenes looks on the Towerhouse instagram. I'll also be occasionally posting here about my quest to lose the fifteen pounds I gained and getting my home under control, so I'll post a bigger announcement when I'm all settled and ready for my first substack visitors. If you have any feedback or questions for me, I'm just an email or DM away!
