2020 was fraught with lots of challenges on many levels... but in my experience, I was able to learn so much from the lessons which came my way and for that I am extremely grateful. Reflection and gratitude allow doorways of opportunity to come your way. As I focused my intentions on what I wanted to draw into my life, the struggles melted away - and without even realizing it, I found myself being blessed with finding a home I've wanted for many years.
Once I close on the house this month, my first project will be tackling the jungle of a backyard! It will take a lot of blood, sweat and tears I'm sure... but the end result will eventually be a sanctuary for dreaming in more home projects.
I was inspired by my son and daughter-in-law's backyard in Las Vegas as I sat many a morning under their pergola...or under the stars in front of the fireplace envisioning my own future yard. The first photo below is their little slice of heaven and the following photos I now have pinned on an inspiration board!
I look forward to adding Kouboo's rattan chairs in my outdoor space too!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
