Musings on Being Limitless | Fridays with V

January 9, 2026 · In: Fridays with V, Interior Design

Limitless.  What a word.  I’ve never been very good with accepting limitations- in fact, if you ask my siblings they will tell you that I spent a great deal of my childhood trying to defy them… they witnessed all the things that my parents had no idea we were doing… like riding our bikes down our mountainous street and every possible thing we could use as a “vehicle” to do the same.  They’d find us in trees, having an adventure in the backyard with a different costume every week.  We created every possibility we could imagine… diners and sock hops, treasure hunts and safaris… 

and then I graduated college and moved abroad.  I mean, honestly.  Who does these things, right?  To me, limitations were  simply challenges waiting to be accepted.  But really, why shouldn’t they be?  Why allow anyone or anything to hold us back from our wildest possibilities?  Why be held down or give up?  There is greatness is every one of us.  We simply need to call upon it to find it.  When I think about what 2026 holds, I cannot help but ask myself… “and why not?”  

We were meant to be dreamers. 

So why not go for our dreams?  Why not live with every fiber of our being?  Why not give it everything we’ve got?  Isn’t it better to die trying than to never live it all?  

Limitations are just fancy wrapped doubts… they keep us from what we desire.  And so, as we enter our second weekend in January, I hope you feel this very real energy running through you as well.  This is your year, the one meant for you.  It’s yours to sculpt and mold and create with.  Your destiny is yours to write and yours to choose.  I can think of no better time that to live with reckless abandon to our wildest dreams!

I’ve been using these last few days to set aside, push hard against, and even downright remove things that are holding me back.  Whether it’s a messy cabinet, a limiting thought, or just an outfit occupying my closet that no longer belongs.  I’ve been ruthlessly curating my life and it feels AMAZING and EXCITING!!  (Yes!  Of course, there will be room tours ahead because I cannot wait to share it ALL with you!) In the meantime, I wish for you a beautiful weekend in which you find rest and strength, calm and empowerment, and, as always, so much love and joy!

Happy Weekend, my friends! Sending you hugs, a kiss for each cheek, and all the best wishes.  xxV
