The Yearly Recap – 2025 Part 2 – The Slow Intentional Stuff
If the 2025 Yearly Recap Part 1 was about doing, Part 2 is about becoming. This was the year I slowed down just enough to actually notice what I’m drawn to—and, maybe more importantly, what I’m not.
The Yearly Recap – 2025 Part 1
What can I say about 2025? I kept saying to myself, what did I do all year? Well, I was President of the Atlanta Chapter of RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) which turned out to be a part time job in itself. A lot of networking, setting up live workshops and Zoom calls with speakers. Keeping the Board of Directors on track with our objectives for the year and navigating all of the paperwork a non-profit requires. Phew!
2026 Colors of the Year – What They Mean and Why They Matter
Every January, the big color authorities do what they do best: tell us what emotional state the planet is collectively experiencing…using paint. And listen, it’s never just a color. It’s never just “blue” or “beige” or “green.” It’s always “hopeful but grounded,” or “nostalgic with a side of resilience,” or “romantic introspection layered with renewed optimism and maybe a houseplant.”
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
