A Note of Encouragement About You (and Your Home)!

I love the question WHY.

(Except when it’s coming from a 3-year-old who asks it 872 times per day…then it gets old real fast.😆)

*** WHY care about what we do in our homes?

*** WHY spend a good amount of time figuring X problem out?

*** WHY is Fix Y or Solution Z important to you?

These things DO matter. And I know that if you’re on this website of ours, seeing posts we spend a lot of time on and money paying for (yes, we have to pay to run dozens of things for this site at this level and the number to run even an online business might shock those of you who have never done it!)…

…that means you are a person who

recognizes the effect your home has on your life and
wants to keep improving that home-life connection to reap the massive rewards!

Yet sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by our home. By the process of an improvement. By the delays or roadblocks.

And I wanted to tell you that

YOU’RE DOING GREAT! 🎉🤩👏

I mean it. I don’t have to be sitting across the kitchen table with you over a hot drink (although I would genuinely love to be able to do that with each and every one of you!) to know that if you’re reading this, that means

YOU CARE.

And that is the #1 sign that YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

Some naysayers out there poo-poo things like home design or home organization or home improvement. Their reasons usually stem from their own issues.

Because it’s a scientific fact that your home environment not only affects your life but YOU as a human being.

So—because Matt and I 100% believe that human beings are the most important (and yes that includes you!)…

…that means your home and your environment are of utmost importance TO YOU. For YOUR GOOD! For YOUR best life, which is very, very important to this world.

YOU ARE NEEDED in the world! Your personality. Your skills. Your unique “code” and “vibe” that you bring to our universe is important.

And so your unique environment is important

to help not only YOU, but to help THE WORLD!

So regardless of whether you’re feeling totally empowered today, or totally overwhelmed today, just know that you are not alone, that you are seen, and that your efforts absolutely matter.

Home wasn’t built in a day 🙂 (yes, I just made that up) . It takes little step after little step. Little improvement here, little adjustment there. It doesn’t have to be a “LET’S BURN THIS PLACE DOWN AND START OVER” kind of renovation (although I’ve definitely lived in houses where I’ve wanted to say that!).

Even if you just do 1 thing today — nay, even if you do ZERO things on your house today! —you’re already doing great by recognizing the need for improvement and adjustments as your phases of life change and shift.

You’re AWARE, and that’s one of the first steps many people miss (or stuff down deep inside, telling themselves it’s not important, and thus actually hurting themselves).

Your actual home building doesn’t need you—YOU need your home. It’s a tool to help YOU, the one that matters in this life!

You are the precious human being who all of the home is centered around TO SUPPORT.

And that’s why we do what we do—we love helping you find ways to make sure your home is still supporting you and not dragging you down, harming you.

We want the best for you, and that’s why we can put a heart of love on our email signoffs. You’re doing great, and we’re here to support you and encourage you and help you find the solutions or ways around something when you can’t seem to do it alone (or the people who are supposed to be helping you aren’t…).

So let me say it again:

1) You’re doing great!

2) You’re not alone!

3) You are SO important to this world!

These things matter because YOU matter.

OK, signing off before this becomes my new book! 🤣
