SISTERS.......Are Made Right Here on Earth, oh yea!

Just when I thought sisters were made in heaven, I found out, they are also made right here on earth!

I must officially and publicly thank 2 of my very good friends for being more than that to me.....being the sisters I did not get in heaven, but the sisters I've made right here on earth.

Today, I received a gift from 2 women -- Bette Bucci and Carolyn Drazien -- gifts from the heart and gifts from the soul. Gifts that only a sister, a soul sister could give!

Bette thought of me when she saw this adorable painting in an art gallery in St. Augustine. She brought it home for me. I am touched and grateful. Thank you Bette.

The inscription says (but you can't see it) -- BE WHO YOU ARE! Thank you for loving me the way that I am and encouraging me to continue being true to myself. Wonderful reminder.


Then, I arrived home to find that my friend, Carolyn (Funky Shui Divas) had 'played' at my house when I had an appointment and she was hanging around waiting for her next appointment.

There she was -- playing and accessorizing as she went --- so when I came home, my house was staged and rearranged in a delightful combination of hearth and home.

I love Carolyn for that special knack she has of pulling things together and making them special while remembering my individual personality and likes.

Thank you Carolyn. What a treat to come home to that re-decor instead of my back hurting from my own antics and trials at recreating uses for home accessories. You're it from now on!
Sisters are made right here on earth!

I'm convinced......

Hugs.

Create It and They Will Come!

To begin a dream, one must imagine it.

To live the dream, one must create it!

So they did!




Sharon Qualls had a dream.....a dream to fulfill her life purpose in a 'space of her own.'

As a Life Coach, Sharon connects at the most spiritual and passionate levels to guide you along your path to self-actualization and self-worth. When you join Sharon in her 'Tree House" studio office in Atlantic Beach, you will feel the freedom and safety of the environment created.

With Carolyn Drazien, of Funky Shui Divas Decorating, the 'once-upon-a-time' extra bedroom was recently converted to this magnificent studio office.

Sharon and her clients will experience magical moments of reflection, journey, and personal Aha's during their time together in this tree-top studio.

Carolyn and her team pulled up carpet, replacing with awesome wood floors, painted walls, built office work areas and wet bars, and filled the new studio with an eclectic mix of furniture and accessories.

Carolyn's eye for the warm and edgy along with her ability to listen, learn, and utilize the client's own mix of creations and artifacts, enables her to be the 'one we call' for staging, recreating, or new beginnings when decorating.

Carolyn creates 'spaces to live for.'

Last night, we joined Sharon and Carolyn in the 'blessing' of the new space.

We enjoyed a few activities, such as using the beautiful wood bowl, to drop in 'our cares and woes' and watch them turn to ashes as we all set forth on new horizons.




Sharon Elliot, our writing coach and guide, led the blessing and offered her special gift of words to the occasion.

Bette Bucci and Julie Trednick also brought their special energy and support to the studio as we all shared a few stories, laughs, and flutes of champagne.

A wonderful evening of souls uniting and supporting Sharon in her dream!
