You all know that I've never been a fan of anything close to Taupe!
If it reads pink, I steer clear.
So Mauve has never been my favorite color, even when it was all the rage back in the 90's.
I remember a coworker when I was in "oil & gas", who loved decorating;
pronouncing it as above. Come to think of it, she was of French descent.
I thought she was so wrong, I'd just giggle when she said it!
Cause in my Texas bred mind, it was obviously maw~ve!
Just goes to show you, I'm willing to admit when I am... even some 20 odd years later!
This was all shortly before I was blessed to marry St. Philip and take up "styling and decorating" as my pastime/passion work!

I am now a mauve, but I'll say lilac (because its easier to pronounce in Texan) convert!
Just looking at all of these beautiful pictures I've recently collected makes me love it so much more this time around!
It has taken on a whole new feminine, sumptuous beauty I never appreciated before...
One of my favorite jobs from this past year was an OBGYN office in The Woodlands.
And you guessed it, Taupe/Mauve/Lilac infused!
It did take some convincing...
It was actually a job I tried to remove myself from, you know, the trying to retire thing and all!
But after a long 9 month, hands on, redoing, repurposing, rethinking process,
which gave me some much needed time with my sister
not to mention her wonderful office crew, it was a blessing job!
Again, I find God's purpose in most everything I first resist!
May your direction be clear this debut Monday
and your resistance fade in regard to your calling!
Enjoying the winter, but looking forward to the graceful lilacs of spring, B
2018 focus scripture...
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
