De-stressing at Home

Via BHG.com


When I asked Debby from Inspired Design if she would be willing to help me out with a guest post, not only did she immediately agree to help, she also virtually wrapped her arms around me and gave me a supportive hug by writing a thoughtful post about taking time for yourself after a hard day. Thanks Debby for the sweet gesture!


Hi there, it's Debby, from Inspired Design! I am happy to be helping out Karen while she is spending time with her brother who is very sick. I know how stressful it is to watch someone you care about suffer, so my hope for Karen is that she will be comforted by her family and home when she gets home from the hospital. I know when I am having a stressful time it helps to curl up in some comfy p.j.' s, sip a cup of tea, and curl up with a great book where I can forget my troubles for a little while.

Thanks, for having me, Karen, and I know I


speak for everyone when I say, we are thinking of


you and your family and will be waiting for you


when you come back!



Our homes truly are our havens during rough times. Thanks Debby for reminding me to take a little time for myself.
