My Favorite F Words

F words! Did that get your attention? No, I’m not talking about the f words that come out of a “sailors” mouth, I’m talking about the F words that come from my heart.

For years I’ve struggled in my business about what to post on social media and what to write for my blog post. Hard to decide what’s politically correct, what’s too personal, what’s going to interest my followers and subscribers.


Until… I took 6 months off of work to deal with real-life events. I found myself in deep grief after our adopted son, my husband’s nephew, passed away at 31 unexpectedly. Two months after his passing, while still grieving, I found myself entangled in the hurricane of fear while I was in the emergency room praying for my mother’s recovery. At 63 years young, she’s been the picture of health and suddenly we are faced with her having congestive heart failure, two strokes and lots of unanswered questions.



So now… still in a season of uncertainty, there are only a few things that I know for sure. Jesus is my hope, I trust in Him and there’s nothing more important than the good news I’ve found in His word that I want to share. My family is my everything; those by blood and those by choice. Two F words that I can’t live without, my faith & my family!


And then there are our homes. The place of peace and refuge that I get to be apart of through fabulous Interior Design. I believe that the combination of a well-organized space, filled with all the things you love will create an environment that reminds you of who you are and Who’s you are!


Dare I say that God has created me to design homes and commercial buildings so that I can share His love and remind you of all the beautiful things you deserve!! Welp…I said it, and if you’re open to going on this journey with me where I discover more about my faith, balance family life, and share tips on how to make your home a beautiful safe haven, then subscribe and let’s get to know each other!
