FROCKS, They were ROCKIN...

Frocks were rockin', Shakespeare was talkin'  and the Queen was sparklin'.  Thank you to everyone who came and thank you to everyone who couldn't make it but sent donations.  The feedback I got was that everyone had a really good time sipping tea and slurping champagne.  Best of all, a very worth organization received a very nice donation.

Aahh ! TRUST is such a wonderful mindset ...

The thing about TRUST, that blows my mind is this.  YOU DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE IT WILL ALL WORK OUT, but you can TRUST that it will.  AND IT WILL!!!
For a long time I had been saying " I would move from my home in Cleveland Heights if ever i could find a loft space in the city of Cleveland" and my friends would say " YEAH RIGHT ". It happened, space in a building that I had long been hoping might have a vacancy one day.  
So TRUST becomes the factor.  Do I go for it? Am I willing to TRUST that moving is the right move for me?  YES...

TRUST AND BELIEVE it all worked out.

Trusting the Universe... yet again

8/5/2017

The time is now...  Again, I must trust the universe to determine my next adventure. I'm selling the home that I love - I'm sure to someone who I know will love it as much as I do. I'm going to bring in Dick Russell Liquidations. Several years ago I did a liquidation sale, and many of my cherished pieces found homes where they are still cherished today. I'M GONNA DO IT AGAIN! The adventure continues. Check out our pictures and video, and check posted links for more information.
