I’m unapologetically me.
It took me a long time to be able to say that and really mean it.
The road hasn’t always been easy. I’ve had some incredible highs and some really painful lows. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve trusted people I probably shouldn’t have. I’ve held on too tightly at times. I’ve loved people so deeply that sometimes I forgot that loving someone doesn’t mean I can control the outcome.
I’ve been hurt. I’ve hurt others. I’ve had to forgive, and I’ve had to ask for forgiveness.
And I’m still here.
Still dreaming.
Still believing.
Still getting excited about possibilities that probably seem crazy to some people. 😂
That’s just who I am.
I dream BIG. I love BIG. I work hard. I care deeply. My mind is usually going in about 47 directions at once because I can see what something COULD be before it ever becomes that.
Give me an empty room and I see a home.
Give me a struggling business and I start seeing systems and possibilities.
Give me a person who has forgotten how powerful they are and I want to remind them.
I guess transformation has always been a part of who I am.
More than 20 years ago, I started staging homes. I certainly didn’t know then where that little dream would take me. It became Lovitt by Design. It became staging and design and moving and teaching and coaching and creating. It became a team. A warehouse full of furniture. Hundreds and hundreds of homes. Clients who became friends. Mistakes that became lessons. And dreams that became reality.
But I’ve learned something along the way.
The biggest thing I’ve been designing all these years is ME.
Life has redesigned me over and over again.
Marriage has.
Motherhood has.
Business has.
Loss has.
Heartbreak has.
Success has.
Failure has.
Forgiveness has.
Faith has.
And DREAMING certainly has.
There are things I would do differently if I could go back.
But I wouldn’t want to go back.
Because I really like the woman I am becoming.
She’s a little softer in some places and a whole lot stronger in others.
She doesn’t need everyone to understand her anymore.
She knows she can be a lot.
A lot of ideas.
A lot of passion.
A lot of emotion.
A lot of dreaming.
A lot of loving.
A lot of ME. ❤️
And I’m finally realizing that I don’t need to apologize for that.
There are still so many things I want to do. So many people I want to help. So many spaces I want to transform. So many places I want to go. So many memories I want to make. And yes… still some pretty ridiculously BIG dreams I intend to achieve.
I’m not finished.
Not even close.
With each day comes another challenge, another lesson, another opportunity and sometimes another dream achieved.
So I’m going to keep dreaming.
Keep creating.
Keep loving.
Keep becoming.
And keep designing a life I absolutely LOVE.
Because after everything this life has taught me…
I can finally say it and mean it:
I’m unapologetically ME.
And I think I’m just getting started. ❤️
