When we renovated our house, we had lots of decisions to make. Which rooms go untouched? Which need work? And how much?

We wanted to upgrade a bathroom, but amidst all the other work we were planning, we were unsure about taking the leap.

One afternoon, I took a sledgehammer to the bathroom wall.

A few moments later, the choice was clear: “Now we’ll have to renovate this room.”

We don’t always need a sledgehammer to make a choice. Most of the time, we just need to lean enough in the right direction so that we fall off of the fence upon which we’ve been sitting.

Here’s to leaning with firm intention. (Or to sledgehammering, if you prefer.)
