Happy Holidays! I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus while I’ve been busy keeping up with family, kids’ plays & performances and working on new client projects. It’s been a busy December!
I hope all of you have enjoyed the festivities of the month and found some moments to recharge and relax, and most significantly, savor time with family and friends.
As 2015 comes to an end, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my first year of blogging and working with all of you.
2015 in Review
My overall sentiment about this past year is gratitude. I feel so fortunate to have had the support of my family and friends to begin Bring Home Order – a dream come true. I am particularly thankful to my husband, Neil, who’s faith, encouragement and support sustains me every day. I honestly could not have done any of this without him. I’m also thankful to my friends and readers whose comments on the blog and in person have been so kind and supportive. When someone stops me to tell me that a post helped or inspired them to do something, I’m incredibly touched. So, a HUGE thank you to all of YOU! I can’t believe this idea has really taken off!
Finally, a big thank you to my clients, who have taught me so much. Sometimes it takes a lot of courage to ask for help. I see that in all of you, and I’m honored when you welcome me into your homes. It is a wonderful thing to help someone create a home with intention. Home, it turns out, is a very important place.
I have lots of great things coming in 2016, including a new company name (I’ll be revealing that soon!), a new website, project reveals, and a New Year’s Home Organization feature that is sure to inspire you to take on those neglected spaces in your home. And, there will be a BOOK! That’s what I’m most excited about and I can’t wait to share that with all of you when it starts coming together.
What are your goals for 2016? What do you want to accomplish in your home this year? Renovations? Updates? Organization? Painting?
Wishing you all the best in 2016 – from our family to yours! ~Maria
