Details! I love details! However, I have had to learn not to get caught in the minutiae. Seek progress over perfection! Sometimes my good intentions get lost in my desire for perfection and then those good intentions never make it to fruition. Ugh. Then I feel guilty for not loving on my people (friends, family, clients, etc…) well. I still fail at this but have made progress with letting go of having everything just right. 100%.
A mentor blessed me with this phrase “If it is 85% then it’s good.”
Something is better than nothing.

People love to be thought of. They need it.

Be a blessing to others! Go love them!!!

Make it a great week! :-)

A successful kitchen renovation requires carefully balancing aesthetics and practicality.

However, while it's natural to want to splurge on a dramatic feature or a luxury upgrade, not every costly addition will serve you well. In fact, certain choices can quickly feel dated, create maintenance headaches, and disrupt the flow of an otherwise well-designed space. Check to see what you should NOT do!

Some kitchen renovations just aren't worth the splurge. Here are a few investments that designers don't recommend.

Your thoughts matter!
Believe in yourself! Like The Little Engine… “I think I can… I think I can…”

Remember, You Can Do Hard Things! Now, let’s have a great week believing in yourself and others!

Smile! How many people can you love this week!

Today, we remember.

We Don't Know Them All, but We Owe Them All.

"Whether we observe the occasion through public ceremony or through private prayer, Memorial Day leaves few hearts unmoved. Each of the patriots whom we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor." George H. W. Bush, 1992

Memorial Day dates back to the Civil War when people placed flowers on the graves of those who had died in battle, thus earning the name Decoration Day. After World War I, the practice became known as Memorial Day. It was declared a national holiday in 1971, and in 2000, the National Moment of Remembrance became law, which encourages everyone to pause at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to honor the fallen.
