Instagram, Anyone?

I want to thank you all for your words of support and encouragement in my last post, A New Journey.   It means so much to hear from you, and very inspiring to read your comments regarding the fact that Twice Remembered was one of the first blogs you subscribed to. :) It is also endearing to me that you understand change and moving on and will be moving along with me.  I don't know what the future holds, but I certainly have goals and am very excited about what's in store.

Right now, I'm a full time cake decorator.  {Did you see that coming???!}  My job is to make desserts, so not very many complaints there, other than I have a lot less time than  I once did.  I've been on my own for a little over a year, since Valentine's Day of last year in fact {after moving in with my folks for three months}, and I can't believe the positive changes that have taken place in my life since then.  It has been scary at times, I have to admit. {see cell phone photo below, snapped post-separation/ pre-divorce when I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor of my old Twice Remembered studio, in the midst of trying to figure out my next move} I was a stay at home mother for almost 20 years and any work that I did was part time and from home...plus it certainly wasn't work that I had to do to keep a roof over my head.  So I've had to hurry-quick learn to be self-sufficient, which is a very, very, GOOD thing.  I'm growing, as we all are.

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm working on a new blog, or at least a new blog design.  I've been on the fence about  whether or not to stay "here" and just change the scenery or to move entirely.  Your input would be greatly appreciated.  

In the meantime, please join me on my instagram page...See Twila Dream {Twila has always been my creative name that I've added to paintings, etc. for years, thus the name of my instagram account.}  I'll also be posting here until the new blog is ready.  

Before I go, check out this dining table that I found at Goodwill last week for only $19.99. {Yes, $19.99...crazy, right?!}  It's an old solid and heavy Duncan Phyfe table that is screaming makeover. I've bought the paint and am ready to dive in.  Stay tuned...and Happy Saturday!

A New Journey

Dear friends... I want you to know that I have not forgotten about you.  I miss you AND blogging so much! Some of you, I've known through my blog for over a decade, and well, when that much time passes, life is bound to change in one way or another.  And how things have changed for me in the last couple of years! I want to share with you my journey, what I've been up to, and where I'm headed with my life. 

For now I'd like to tell you that I've been divorced for over a year.  I no longer live at the Twice Remembered Cottage and it is now occupied by good folks who want to continue it's transformation where I left off.  This makes me very happy, and yes, a bit sad as well.  But life goes on, we make new paths for ourselves, and we don't dwell on the past.  Everything that happens in our lives shapes us and paves the way for other beautiful experiences, interests, and adventures.   

I can't tell you how much I look forward to blogging again!  My style preference has evolved, as styles and tastes tend to do when one experiences major life changes, and I've embraced the world of  art, vibrant color, and Bohemian charm. I hope that you'll join me in my new journey, even though it is so very different from my previous one.  I am working on a new blog, and I will be posting here to let you know the location as soon as it is complete and ready to go.  Thank you SO INCREDIBLY MUCH for your patience and friendship, and I hope to "see you" soon. :)

With much love,

Kim
