You were the first black home designer that I watched many years ago. It was so refreshing to find you. I watch all designers but it was so good to find you. I love your sophistication, your style and your content. You are a very beautiful person who knows what you are doing and you do it with so much class. I am proud of you. Keep up the good work and keep doing what you do with so much class. I am proud of you you.

I’m pushing myself this year to do the things that I’ve always wanted to do but we’re too afraid to do or I didn’t want to sacrifice money to do. I’m starting a jewelry line called complete your look and I’ve created a planner. Called return to you they both will be launching before the end of Q1, I really proud of myself. Just have to keep moving forward!

As a woman who was 70 in 2023, I fully understand your journey as it is very similar to my own. I had a 20-plus year career in corporate and left when my next opportunity would require extensive international travel. With children who were on the threshold of being teenagers, that wasn't an option. I have reinvented myself many times. Most recently, as the author of 9 books. I couldn't agree more with your suggestion that we embrace stepping out of our comfort zone. Wishing you all the best on your journey. Xoxo 💕

Hi Melanie, so happy I found your channel over a year ago. I must agree with the others you and your content are great ! I used to feel I was indecisive when so many careers interested me. And although I didn’t go back to school full time , I have used my nursing (retired) background in other roles. My love of animals became a volunteer position with my vet and I eventually became a volunteer coordinator at one time. Now although retired I visit a senior 3 x week. Change although sometimes scary is so good for us. Now I’m tempted to move to the east coast (Canada) just to live the experience...but....we will see what 2024 brings ! Wishing you continued success with this channel and whatever your next challenge is !
