I've so enjoyed reading the many wonderful New Year's messages online and from friends and family. It reminds me that no matter how hard things are, there is always an abundant amount of hope.

Humans are amazing.

It's safe to say we have all been touched by challenges this past year, and as I reflect on our own, I come back to gratitude for what this year has given me.

Despite the challenges our family has been given, they have been followed by immeasurable gifts.

It's been hard to see it this way sometimes, but if there is anything a New Year does, it gives us an opportunity to reflect on the past and see where the nuggets of goodness lie.

My first 8 months in business have been more than I could have imagined. While so many industries struggle, ours - along with many industries supporting construction - have flourished. I am SO grateful for this.

If there was ever a time when we had to face the impact of our spaces, it is now.

It’s true, taking on 30 new projects in my first year has been nothing short of insane (ask my husband), however, I cannot imagine the alternative. My heart goes out to all of the business owners who have had to make the HARDEST decisions to navigate the changes in their industry.

While 2021 may bring challenges, I know that our family will be supported, and we will continue to grow.

The same goes for this business. There will be challenges, to be sure, but I know it is destined to be great. I will learn and grow – and I look forward to doing so with you all by my side.

Thank you for your support. I am forever grateful.

Here’s to a joy filled 2021, we deserve it.
