I can’t even believe the title of this post…how in the world did that happen?
OK, girls! I am just about to die over this one, but getting into Atlanta magazine’s May issue is truly a dream come true. Not that I ever really sat around thinking about getting in this local magazine in my own hometown, but really….how exciting is this?
Lisa Mowry did a fabulous job covering my blog story and all about how I started blogging, all the personal trials I went through, and how I turned my blog into a business. My sweet daddy is mentioned by name in the article and I’m just so happy and proud for my family to be featured like this.
I posted the scanned article over on my Facebook page and you can click over there and open it up in Fullscreen (look for an arrow in the top right of the picture for Fullscreen mode) and you should be able to read it all.
And the online version from Atlanta Magazine is linked too.
The photographer really did a great job with the photo shoot too and it makes my fixer upper house look pretty fantastic, especially with the Before and After shots.
Ya’ll, I just can’t even believe it. They didn’t put a pic of me in the article, but that’s OK too, just being featured and having my blog being talked about is super exciting stuff. All of you have hung in there with me through this whole entire journey and I can’t thank you enough. Dreams really do come true and I’m totally living in a fun one right now. I can’t even believe all the fun things I get to do. God has blessed me beyond measure, from 2 years ago to now.
Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart for all your support through the last 6 years. If not for faithful and supportive readers like all of you, I would not be here today.
Sweet lady this is so FUN!!…and so well deserved!
How smart they are to share your amazing story!
Joy Joy Joy!!!:)
Every dog has their day, and this is yours! Congratulations! This couldn’t have happened to nicer people! I hope Dad got a huge mention! 🙂
Exciting news and a big Congratulations to you!
You are a wonderful woman and deserve this.
Love your home makeover!
So happy you are getting so much media attention Rhoda! I recommend contacting the manufacturers of the products you used like your flooring, paint, etc. and see if they will do a feature of you on their website along with other decorating magazines. 🙂
Thrilled for you, again. You worked so hard to for what you have today, and I’m so glad that another dream of yours has now come true. I’m a long time hold-out, but might sign up for a FB account just to read the article!
Congratulations, Rhoda! You are so blessed to have such a supportive family (with lots of talent) as the house did turn out absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad you give our awesome God the glory!
I am on a blog and semi computer break while we prepare the condo for sale, so I am just now seeing this! Congratulations, Rhoda! Well deserved!
I saw Maureen’s note about the Atlanta feature at FB, but didn’t get any further than Liking her note, before I wandered off in search of cobwebs and dust bunnies around here!;-)
This is so wonderful Rhoda. Your story of turning something bad into good is truly inspiring. You are indeed blessed of the Lord! Keep up the good work you are doing 🙂 Blessings, Patti@OldThingsNew
I don’t know you but I am proud off you just the same. I know how hard it is to pick yourself up and move on when bad things happen in your life. You really help a lot of women to help make there life better, I have learned so much from reading your blog. Congratulation Linda
Yea!!!
You’ve worked very hard and have been a visionary. You deserve all this.
Congratulations
I am so happy for you!
Isn’t it great how a major life “upheaval” can turn out so great? I went through a similar experience 6 years ago as well, and I couldn’t be happier, about to launch my own webstore, and doing lots of things I never did in my previous life (bowhunting, anyone?) You are a real inspiration to me. Congrats on creating a great life for yourself.
Congratulations Rhoda! That really is a GA girls dream come true.
AWESOME………..Love & Blessings…
You deserve all the good things that are happening for you. I’m a California girl who looks forward each day to reading your blog. Congratulations!
Congratulations! A well deserved honor for you and your family. Hopefully will boost your blog numbers too. 🙂
CONGRATS RHODA!!! I am so very happy for ya. The last 3 1/2 years of blogging with you has been a joy and just let me say…CONGRATS to your DAD too!!!

Linda

You deserve it, too for all your hard work. You’ve continued to inspire so many of your readers and your upbeat attitude and the general kindness show through in every line. what I really admire about your blog is that you always focus on the positive and never put anyone or their ideas down. Plus, you’re always about putting others forward.
Of course, lots of people work hard. You just happen to combine it with great taste and all the above. Enjoy it!
