Ya know…whether we consider it a good thing or not….we truly are who we are because of those around us. At least, largely. Often, I think…more than we realize. I grabbed this photo of the chalkboard with my phone Friday evening at open house. I was so blessed and honored by everybody that came and showed their support!

It pretty much sums up my thoughts. On open house. And life. I am who I am because of those around me. Dear friends that laugh and cry with me. Family. Mentors placed in my life by God almighty. Role models. Others in the industry. Little boys that remind me to take life slow. A part of you is reflected in me. And for this. For YOU, I am thankful. And so very blessed. =)
