Our family usually stays in and celebrates the ringing of the New Year privately at home.  This year is different.  We lost my Grandmother 3 days before Christmas.  We buried her yesterday.

“We do not remember days; we remember moments.”

~Cesare Pavese, The Burning Brand.

This is so true, and we have a great desire to be with our whole family members on this special New Year’s Eve.

Despite the grief and loss felt, this year has been amazing, and I am so blessed to have all of you following along as Mike and I turn our little cottage into a HOME, one room at a time!

“Continual Sustained Progress” will be… my words for 2016 (for many areas in my life).

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be ‪enlightened, so that you may know what is the ‪‎hope of HIS calling, what are the riches of the glory of HIS inheritance in the saints, and what is the ‪surpassing greatness of HIS power toward us who ‪‎believe.” (Ephesians 1:18-19).

Now Let’s All Get Out There and Shine!
