A Message From the Founder and First Look at 2024!
Hello and Happy New Year!
I'm always working on being present because I get so excited by new ideas and planning how those will come to life. It's why I love fashion. In fashion, you're always 6-9 months ahead and creating, but as I reflect on 2023, I feel very grateful, and time slows. With that, I want to thank you for your love of Gibsonlook and your continued support. So many moments from our year wouldn't be imaginable without you! We are grateful you are here!
With the start of the new year, there’s a few thoughts that come to mind; reflection and growth, hope and aspiration, fresh starts and resolutions, community and connection, all while embracing the present moment. The New Year is not just a change in date; it's a symbolic fresh start. When I think of the new year, I envision a blank canvas! Diving into the above topics, we pulled our favorite quotes that will be on our 2024 vision boards and in our office for daily motivation and mindfulness!
Reflection and Growth
Reflection: “A thought occurring in consideration or meditation.” The New Year prompts us to reflect on the experiences of the past twelve months. What lessons have we learned? What challenges have we overcome? It's a time to celebrate personal growth and resilience.
Hope and Aspiration
With the dawn of a new year comes a renewed sense of hope. It's a chance to dream bigger, set new goals, and pursue aspirations that may have been put on hold. The air is filled with the anticipation of what could be, and the blank canvas of the year encourages us to paint our aspirations boldly.
Fresh Starts and Resolutions
New Year's resolutions have become a tradition—a commitment to self-improvement and positive change. Whether it's adopting a healthier lifestyle, pursuing a passion, or cultivating better relationships, resolutions serve as a roadmap for personal development. The New Year (and every new day!) grants us the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and embrace the potential for positive transformation.
Community and Connection
While the New Year is a deeply personal journey, it is also a time to strengthen bonds with others. It brings people together in celebration and reflection. Whether it's gathering with loved ones, joining in community events, or reaching out to friends, the New Year fosters a sense of togetherness and shared experiences. We are excited about the continued opportunities to connect with you throughout this new year!
Embracing the Present Moment
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the New Year serves as a reminder to embrace the present moment. Amidst the pursuit of future goals, it encourages us to find joy in the journey, appreciate the small victories, and cherish the relationships that enrich our lives.
I treasure this week of the year when the holidays wind down, time slows, and for a beat, there is only what was and hope for what is to come. I love gearing up for the new year ahead, planning resolutions, dreaming up trips, and new ways to connect. I love the seasons that guide the year along and the height of Winter to me, is the precursor to Spring and renewal.
We have some very exciting things planned for 2024, and I can't wait to share them with you.
Wishing you and your loved ones a beautiful start!
