Welcome Back!
Snows clear, Seven’s back at school, and momma’s got a full week ahead!
Welcome Back!
If you missed last Friday’s ‘Quarter ‘Til Wine’ don’t worry, I’ve got a link to the playback right here! It felt oh so good to connect with my people! If you have no idea what I am talking about I started a IG Live segment that I do my best to host every Friday afternoon as I count down to ‘wine time’ also known as 5 o’clock. Fifteen minutes we go live at 4:45 CST of checking in, and touching base with our collective. What started as a way to decompress during the dogs days of ‘Lockdown 2020’ blossomed into this incredible vehicle of connecting my followers with the very talented community in my ‘wheel house’. As diverse as my career is so are the guest. I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with everyone from HGTV stars to homeowners working through their home one room at a time. Through authentic and meaningful conversations, I would like to think that our little corner of the world has shared laughs, tears, and at times even anger…together. We have faced some uncomfortable and difficult topics head on, and I will forever be grateful for a community who holds space for those conversations in the pursuit of sincere resolution. Our little corner of the world is pretty bad a*s if you think about it, we should probably all be in Congress but I digress.
Unlike most Friday’s this first episode of 2022 was all me! Sometimes I need a moment to spill the beans! This episode was all about BlackHouse Seven and what is to come from this budding brand. The instagram tagline I had founded to just be the ‘messy’ parts, a behind the scenes of my life as Principal Designer at Leslie Tyler Design had become a passion all its own. Taking this community on a journey rich in curiosity and shedding light on the untold stories of our historic homes, our BlackHouse.
With all that being said I want to hear from you!
I will be honest, I don’t have it all figured out. I as far as I can gather am walking into uncharted territory. Territory whose “ultimate goal” is still unwritten. How far and wide can the impact of deliberate efforts of inclusion go? I say, let’s shoot for the moon! All I am sure of is that if this pursuit is executed as a community, with the sincere desire of uncovering the truth, and dedication to acknowledgment of every part of its creation and care… I know, without a doubt that the future will be bright.
I would love to hear your thought. What areas do you see that would make a impact in your immediate community…
