I see beauty all around me…in nature, in books, in my home, friends and family. I want to enhance the beauty I see for everyone around me, so they too can bask in God’s love.

What is your Manifesto? Create with Purpose. Here’s mine… I am a daughter of the Master Creator. He has taught me how to design through his creations below, on and above the Earth. I see stars, the trees, flowers, seashells and my daughter’s tiny hands and know that he can teach me all about creating beauty. He created me and let me help to create the most beautiful thing of all–human life.

What is your Manifesto? Create with Purpose. Here’s mine… I appreciate exquisite things, but they are not the treasures I will keep forever. I know that what is most important repels being styled and staged. I am most authentic when I am paying real, special attention to my faith, family, relationships, learning and health. What God thinks of me trumps the world’s judgements.

I seek order, but I know that messes are just masterpieces in progress. Nothing is a finished product because we are ever-changing and so what we create will change too. I love clean slates because that means potential. Simplicity, modesty and beauty is my consistent goal as I create.

I write to edify, to help others realize they are not alone and to convince everyone that they have worth. I use words like a musician uses an instrument…to express, uplift and connect. I believe that learning is why we are here on Earth and I want to learn with friends.

My aim is to create a home that envelopes those that enter with light, love and peace. My home is my daily temple where my family feels safe, loved and nurtured. All that I do and make is to bring joy to others and glory to God.

Best,

Lucy
