A change is gonna come. . .

It's been far too long since I last posted! I'll be the first to admit, I never really made the time to honor my own ideas and really dedicate myself to blogging about design. When I began blogging, my life was such a rollercoaster ride, so many ups and downs in my personal life and I thought blogging about my love of design would be a good distraction. Well, you can tell from my lack of consistent posts that clearly wasn't the case! Sooooo much has happened in my life over the past year since I last blogged. So many losses in my life, the most devastating to me was the end of my 25 year marriage. . . He broke my heart, but not my spirit. There have been a lot of deaths in my family and this ending of my marriage hurt just as much, if not worse than any one of those deaths! But like the title of this post, a change is coming! Everything happens for a reason and after all is said and done about my marriage, I truly feel grateful. . There is still some sadness of course because he was my best friend, lover, protector, and spiritual brother. The gratitude is for the lessons learned and for the ones I am still learning. I can once again smile easily and sleep comfortably. This blog is still about design, my tastes have become more bolder and daring and I'm excited to share this with you, but I also want to share my journey and experiences with you about what it's like beginning again. I am rethinking how I do just. . . About. . . Everything! Speaking of design, while deciding if I should paint my sitting room purple, I had to stop myself from wondering if my ex-husband would like it! I got a good laugh at myself, especially when I decided that he would not. . . So of course you know I DID go ahead and paint it purple! I am still working on it and can hardly wait to show before and after pics! I even ordered a custom apple green velvet sofa!!! Yes, I do feel happy, grateful, and more confident these days and its showing up in my design work for myself and others. So come with me as I begin this new chapter in my life I promise it will be fun, informative, bold, daring, and you never can tell but you might learn something along the way!
