Hello!!!!!!!! It's here!!!! I have actually accomplished one of my New Year's Resolutions: I am FINALLY BLOGGING!!! Check!

I got a little push from my friend Colleen Odegaard last night who asked me to guest blog for her new Show "Charlotte Today" (which totally rocks BTW and so does she). She asked me to blog about a topic so close to my heart - Paying It Forward Beautifully - which was also the reason I was on her show today. 

As I was typing my story (at midnight, thank you again Colleen), I realized that the passion inside of me for my art, for my mission of living generously, and especially for my family and friends is stronger than ever. My journey to this exact place - 4:22pm on Feb. 18, 2010 - has been L.O.N.G. and arduous, but oh so luscious and extremely fulfilling. And you know what?? The best is yet to come! I can just feel it.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE:

• Being a designer, I'm obsessed with color - all HUES of purple in any way, shape, or form are the most fabulous thing E.V.E.R.- this is non-negotiable

• Being a working mother (McDonalds Drive Thrus and all)

• Paying it forward - read my next post!

• Jim, Kathy, Stephanie, Eileen, Matt, Mattie, Lizzie, and Jack. You are quite simply everything.

So, join me, on my inaugural blogging rendezvous! Like everything else in my life - it will be quite an adventure!!!!!! I promise.

 With Love and Gratitude From Me to Hue,

Jackie
