Little Things, Big Meaning

Daily writing prompt

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

When it comes to the personal belongings I hold most dear, it’s not the shiny or expensive things that come to mind—it’s the small, seemingly ordinary bits of life that somehow carry my whole heart.

There’s a chipped teacup on my shelf that’s survived more moves than I have houseplants. It came from a thrift store years ago, but every time I drink from it, it feels like home. Then there’s a well-loved hoodie that should probably be retired, but it smells like comfort and late-night chats and quiet moments when everything was okay, even if only for a second.

I have a little box of handwritten notes from my kids—misspelled, chaotic, perfect. There’s one that just says “Mommy, you are a good cooker. Don’t cry today.” And I didn’t.

Tucked away are old playlists, ticket stubs, and the occasional dried flower from a random day that felt special for no reason. These aren’t just keepsakes—they’re proof that life has been good in quiet, gentle ways.

What about you? What’s the one random thing you’d never toss, even if Marie Kondo herself gave you the side-eye?

Dorey Duncan Scott Senior Litigation Paralegal

Hi! I’m Dorey Duncan Scott, a mother of three, wife and fashion entrepreneur. I started my career in fashion back in the early 90’s when I did print, still and runway modeling. I studied Fashion Merchandising, Music Business and Marketing, while also obtaining certificates in such industry-necessary areas such as make-up, styling and runway choreography. In addition, I had work as a spokesmodel for several brands, appearing in print and in person. As a former model, turned senior litigation paralegal, artist manager and on-air personality with a passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development, I bring a unique combination of style, strategic thinking, and legal expertise to my work. My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
