OFFENDED?

Offended? Say hello to your ego. First, let’s break down what an offense is. It is your ego’s response to what someone else said. When you are offended, you are in an ego-driven state, which is, ultimately, disempowering and a victim mentality. More than likely you are looking outside for validation, are overly concerned with the image you are portraying, tend to blame others, and are never satisfied. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what someone else thinks. In YOUR life, what matters is what YOU think. As long as you think you are worthy and amazing, you don’t need to be offended. It is a waste of your precious time and energy and gives the offender control over you.

1920's Kitchen Remodel







As you can see we are almost completely done with our kitchen remodel other than a few finishing touches. We had the cabinets made using our own design.We ordered the copper drawer pulls and cabinet knobs were all from Bellacor.com.  The copper lampshade hanging over the eating bar were found by my daughter in an old shack on some friends farm and they just gave them to us. My husband did the electrical on them. The countertops are a suede finish granite. The farmers sink and faucet set we bought on Amazon.com.
