To Infinity and Beyond

I took a little breather to get over the hump of holidays.   We had a flu bug hit our house and we're just now recovering.  Things are looking up now, though.  Here's our living room, photographed by Nathalie Bearden, of nathaliebearden.com/.  Will painted all our main rooms and ceilings a high gloss white.  It's our little slice of heaven.

Well, it's the new year and time for a fresh start.  I, sadly, never made any concrete resolutions.  As a party planner and designer, I plan things to a T.   But in real life, I'm not a methodical planner, which can be a very, very bad trait.  It seems a lot of decisions from the universe have been made for me, and as the year progresses, many, many new hurdles await me and my family.  Some good, I hope.  I pray that I'm able to smooth-sail this year and years to come for everyone involved...to the best of my God-given ability.

My three year stunt as a home-spun business will gain a storefront platform, which will mean I will have to wisely budget my time for family + work + inspiration dives.

So, what are your resolutions for the new year?

Have a lovely weekend.

Best,
sharon

Thanks and Cheers to the year Two Thousand and Eleven!

 

On this last day of the old year, I'm reminded of wonderful support.   Do you surround yourself with people that are positive and who believe in you and inspire you?  I sure hope so, because sometimes it just takes a few extra hands to help us stay on our feet.  I wouldn't be here, if I didn't have it.  Thanks for being my readers and thanks so much for your support and friendships!

I'd like to have a hand at rhyme now...  

Dear Two Thousand and Eleven, please be heaven.  

{That's not asking for much, is it? I could sure use a slice of it, though.  If it should be heaven, I'll gladly share a slice with all of you, too.}

Happy New Year!

Mini-Me's, Please!

Out with the old and in with the new?  The past year has been full of many things that I plan on editing, and also cultivating.  Not just in the home, but in every facet of my life.  But, in my home right now, I crave fresh and green things at this time of year, don't you? Changes don't have to be big.  Maybe it's a  new color for the bathroom walls, a new set of drinking glasses to replace the mismatched glassware, or a new morning ritual that gives you a better kick start to your day. 

Life will always have problems that have yet to be solved, rooms that have yet to be finished, and finances to continually try to figure out, but I plan on making tiny gradual makeovers on those tired and worn out things in the New Year.  I'm going to start with my bedroom. New sheets?  Cotton...yes. And Pillows...yes!  One thing I'm a firm believer in though, is that these mini-me's do not have to break the bank.  Even some simple flower arrangements from the grocery store.

We are busy designing our own line of pillows that will be sure to bring freshness into your lives. I can't wait to show you, come January! I'm also busy planning an equestrian themed birthday party for 417 Magazine Home.

Goodbye to 2010 and Hello to New Beginnings and A Life that Cultivates Your Soul!
