Lately, I’ve been feeling pulled into service a lot more. Supporting and helping people who truly need it. This has always been a way of life for me, giving to others, being kind and spreading the love. But these past few months have sort of channeled the giver in me and I just want to do so much more. I don’t have much money but I donate and send gifts when I can. I’m pretty busy but I try to share my time when others need it. I’m growing my business but I often discount my services and offer freebies here and there. I just want to bring sunshine to peoples lives and help light up those souls who need it most. And I am thinking up more ways do just that.

This year hasn’t been easy. I dealt with and still am dealing with personal issues. I have friends going through their own challenges that range from health issues to losing loved ones. We are all fighting some type of battle, big or small. And with support, encouragement, and kindness, we can make a difference in how those battles turn out. People need each other. We weren’t meant to go through anything alone. We are all connected. And there is no better time than now to open your heart to the ones who need it, want it and deserve it. During my break, I am going to come up with ways to help my community more and help lift up the people I love. What are ways you can spread more kindness? The way I see it, giving is always a win-win.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year! Reflecting on these past 12 months I feel so lucky to be living this life. 2017 was the best year for Gray Star Design and I look forward to see what’s to come.

The most this year taught me was to take self care more seriously and to focus on my individual happiness. The health issues I’ve faced this year were all related to stress and I am done with feeling out of control. So I am heading into the new year with a new outlook and a calm mind in hopes to live each day with intention, peace, and grace.

With my husband and son by my side and my little loves, Olive and Jenny, I am ready to move forward with my head high and heart full. Sending you all well wishes for 2018. Cheers!

Autumn is a time of renewal. A time when we shed the layers we need to let go in order to feel fresh. A brisk undressing of sorts. Everyone has their own way of doing this. Some spend a lot of time alone. Others explore the world around them. But what matters most is that you’re true to YOU. Invest in your happiness and allow the magic of your soul to be free. Seasonal changes help us to reinvent who we are and rebrand our perspective. A new journey lies ahead… and it’s time to jump in and feel alive.

Be happy to wake up everyday and live through each moment. And when you close your eyes at night, rest easy knowing you did your best. Be grateful, be kind, and be ready for what’s to come.
