Full Circle

This week's end was just as exciting as its beginning. The notable difference is that I am now on the East Coast working on a project.  Being back in Boston as a finalist blogger in Apartment Therapy’s The Homies Awards seems quite appropriate, considering this is where I began blogging 4 years ago.  When I think about or scroll back to my older posts, I’m amazed at just how many and how much I’ve shared with you .  It’s been an amazing journey, one that I could not have stayed embarked on without you.  I'm SO grateful for your continued love and support!  Let’s keep this exciting gig going by voting one last time for Cocoon Home as your favorite Home Design and Inspiration blog right here.   THANK YOU!

Blogging has meant more to me than I ever imagined it could.  Whether I'm writing about a Cocoon Home project, reflecting on family and friends or just seeking or providing inspiration, this platform has help me release inner fears, expand my knowledge and strengthen my intent on striving to do it all well:  mother, wife, designer, friend and blogger.  I'm grateful for the support received from all you readers throughout the years, and hope I can count on your nomination for this year's Apartment Therapy's "The Homies" contest.

Update: Knowing A Little About A Lot Or.....

My attempt at honing one single avocation has been complicated by a series of requests.  Since I posted this a few weeks ago , I've embarked on an exciting design project, been commissioned to create several botanical arrangements and hired for my first [professional] photography session.  It's as though the energy I devoted into sharing my insecurities over knowing a little about a lot transformed into wonderful opportunities.  I haven't yet decided which area I'd like to focus on because they're all exciting and each one is challenging me to deepen my knowledge within it.  Maybe I'm destined to be a jack of "some" trades?!?

Have you ever put your energies into something mentally to have them become tangible in some way?

I also want to thank the readers that reached out to me privately to share their thoughts on what they do, their personal struggles and the dreams they have for their future.  May they all realize.
