DECEMBER 2025

Dear Reckless Ericka Community,

This year, I've been learning not to rush through life. As someone who’s always creating, I used to carry this quiet urgency and having the feeling that time was slipping away. But I’m starting to see things differently. There is a strength in slowing down, in being patient with myself, in trusting that growth cannot be rushed.

This season, I've been thinking about presence too. When I’m home, I try to be fully present. I listen to my child’s stories without distraction. At work, I try to honour the process and not just the outcome. When you visit House of Reckless, I hope you feel the heart behind why we do what we do :)

We’ve just released the final launch of HAVEN. It is a collection that reminds us to find peace and safety in resting. Each piece was designed to help you carry joy every single day. As the year closes, I hope you find yourself being kind to yourself too.

With love,
Afton
