Alice in Wonderland
For those of you who don't know me, or don't know me well, I LOVE Alice in Wonderland. I love the quotes and the confusion and the curiosity and the abnormal being normal and the fact that we're all a little mad sometimes. As I have said before, my husband and I are leaving the military lifestyle and are hoping to buy this beautiful house in a small town in Missouri.
It has TWO balconies, columns in the front, a weeping willow tree and a Bradford Pear tree in the front yard and a big back yard with shed and it's fenced in....
And, I must say... I am planning on having Mad Hatter style tea parties under the branches of that willow. And I plan to set an easel on the balcony that overlooks our front yard and paint until my heart is content. My Origami Owl office will be downstairs, white, grey and teal with pops of pink and yellow.
It has it's own dining room, so I can make meals for the people I love and have them over for fancy (and not so fancy) memory making nights.
I will have a therapy room that is Alice themed and all the misfits I gather in my life can come there on certain days and we can have group therapy. I want tiny doors on the walls like we feel like giants and I want a giant door somewhere where we feel so small.
In this life, if I have learned anything, it's that we're all people and we're all worth getting to know. We all have scars and we can all be healed if we just work together, instead of shutting each other out.
So, if you're ever near and need to feel a little bigger, come see me as soon as I get my house. I will welcome you because I know what's it's like to feel a bit small. I think we all do.
And now, I'm off to design my Alice in Wonderland locket for our vendor event on October 1st.
Lots of love!

A Revolution For Good!
This is our Force For Good charm for Designers. Origami Owl strives for it's Designers and all of it's employees to be a "Force For Good".
The world is a mess. Who knows what's going on and what's going to happen? Nobody, except me. I know that no matter what happens, I am going to strive to be a force for good. I am going to smile at strangers and I'm going to give people genuine compliments. I am going to pay for someone's coffee and I'm going to have a good time with my fellow man.
Do you know why? Because, the world is a mess and hope is being lost in humanity. With all of the bad, I believe there is still good in this world and I am going to shine my light wherever I can.
I implore you to do the same. God has created this beautiful world in order for us to enjoy it and other man in order to take care of it and praise His name.
So, let's start a revolution in this world! Let's create a goal to be a force for good and lift up the lives of others. Sadly, that's the only way some of us are going to get through it.
Does anyone have any prayer requests I can be praying for? Please let me know. If you just need to talk, I'm always here!

Bunco Night at the Officer's Club!
We had so much fun with Bunco Night and the Officer's Club!
This is me having fun with Olive as we were getting ready to leave for the awesome night it turned out being! I had never played Bunco before, in my life, but it was so much fun!
It turns out I am exactly average, so I didn't win anything. But, that's generally how it works for me. Won 9 games, Lost 9 games. LAME! Anyway, I had a great time and I can't wait for the next night!
I also had the privilege of donating a necklace and bust, for one of the raffle prices. It was a wonderful time and I met a lot of people and got to spread the love of Origami Owl! (I gave out some cards, too!)
A big thank you to Allison Hall of the Officer Spouse's Club for giving me the opportunity to help make someone very happy!
I love Origami Owl!!

A Little About the **ME** Of It All.
So, you probably don't know much, if anything about me. One fun fact is that I have an addiction.... Success. It doesn't even have to be my own success! I push those around me to be better, stronger and happier. I push myself to be the best human I can be. I love people. Everyone deserves to be a success! I have so many goals for myself and I strive to reach them every day.
Though, this year has been hard for me. I have been diagnosed with a wonderful gift and it has left me in a beautiful place where I have gotten to know myself. I'm still getting to know myself, every day.
I have been writing more and I have an idea for a book I have brought forward and started to bring to fruition. And, I have started this amazing Origami Owl journey.
Before, I felt like people hated me, for some reason. I stayed away from talking to people and I didn't want anyone to recognize me. But, since I started Origami Owl and joined the Sparkling Hooters with Jill McCarthy, she has really brought a light to my life. She is real and heartfelt and she is the best leader I have ever known. She pushes me on days when I don't want to do anything because I want to be like her. I want to be as independent, loving and caring as she is.
With that, came my own team that I started with my mentor, Paige Butler. We are called Charmed and Dangerous, which is so funny because we all pretty much stumble over our words and are so real that "charmed" is hilarious to think about and so is "dangerous", as a matter of fact. But we liked the pun. So, that's who we are. We are a force for good and I hope I can be the same great type of leader that Jill is, for I am learning from her, daily, from across the country. She is a blessing and so is this company, which encourages people to tell their story.
We all have a story. We all have a goal. Don't be quiet. Shout it from the rooftops! You are powerful. YOU can change someone's life and you may not even know it. Be uniquely you. No regrets.
Here is the locket that represents MY story. Enjoy.
