“One day I want to take that hike.”
“One day I want to travel to New Zealand.”

Allowing for free space takes intentionality. When we are intentional about where we want to go, we allow for the space to make those ‘One Day’ moments happen.
It will always remain ‘One Day’ until you put a date on it.
“Be careful about what you choose to bring into your home, your head, and your heart – is it worth the weight?”
