  1. I so enjoy your blog. I’ve had a life long love affair with interior design and exterior design. But when my son was born and we moved to a very rural area ( terrible depression the first year) . I decided to be a stay at home wife and mother. I was a city girl who liked to shop and eat out not at fast food places. Sorry I can’t call them restaurants. Now I had to learn to cook food my husband would eat. As my son got older I began to do a little design projects. When you start with family and you don’t charge for your work. You begin to get calls. I was at Jane’s the other day and wow it is beautiful and she told me you don’t charge for your services. Could you come to my. ……
    Well you get the message. Because I’m a people pleaser or was. I never charged a thing. With much driving and money spent. Now I’ve had a big change of direction at 62 and a major hearing loss. I’m going through a divorce after 46yrs of marriage, My son my only child died at the age of 39 of a heart attack and I had to say goodbye to my little angel Miss Mattie a 3lb teacup yorkie about 3 months ago. Sad around my house Oh yeah. But I know what my son would and has said to me. Stop feeling sorry for yourself the only person that’s stopping you from getting on with your life is you. And reading about Amanda Brooks her story’s not mine but her life went a direction she’d never gone before. And reading this lit a fire under me. Thank you for the inspiration in her story. You never know when one word can start a life in the right direction. Keep it up.

    • Dear Laura,

      As the mother of an only child… and a teacup Chihuahua… your story breaks my heart. My deepest sympathies for your loss, I cannot imagine the unbearable pain you must be going through. It pleases me to hear that Amanda’s story was an inspiration to you, and I wish you the absolute best for your new adventure. Thank you for following my blog and for taking the time to write. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

      Xx,
      Andrea
