My 2021 word of the year is “rise.” 2021 is going to be all about building. I’ve laid the foundation, now it’s time to raise the walls! I have a calendar full of amazing couples, we are working on some exciting projects at KLH and I am kicking off the year by building a grant-funded art installation for the city of Grand Rapids! I am prepared for things to not go my way, but at this moment is seems like all arrows point up!

I’ve been trying to get it together to get on here and give you a mid-year update, but life got crazy! As you know, this year has been wild! It’s simultaneously dragging on and moving at the speed of light. Coming into this year I had a calendar full of weddings, two clients I was doing other work for regularly and my hours increased for my interior design work. We were planning to take a European vacation, pay off credit cards and even remodel a bathroom. And then, Covid.

A very honest recounting of my credit card debt journey and my drive to get it paid off.
